Bill Clinton

I have signed into law S. 543, the 'Volunteer Protection Act of 1997,' which will provide volunteers working for nonprofit and governmental entities certain protections from civil liability.

In the last 4 1/2 years, we have become the world's leading exporter.

We cannot afford not to keep reaching out to the rest of the world, and I intend to do it.

It is important to note that none of the bill's limitations on liability will apply to misconduct that constitutes a crime of violence, an act of international terrorism, or a hate crime.

America has the lowest unemployment rate in 24 years, the lowest inflation rate in 30 years, the biggest decline in inequality among working families in over 30 years.

I wish they weren't so high.

I believe it's very much in the interest of both Russia and Japan to resolve this matter.

All levels of government should encourage citizens to volunteer for service.

Were going to discuss that.

There's not just a downside here; there is a huge upside.

Through citizen service, Americans recognize that we are responsible for one another and that we are members of a true community.

Also problematic is section 307 which calls for the release of information related to the kidnapping or murder of United States citizens abroad.

Every school and every education program that receives Federal assistance in the entire country must understand that complying with title IX is not optional.

I'm pleased to be able to share her wonderful talent with you tonight.

Title IX did not create their successes, but it did give them the chance to make the most of their abilities.

We envision a fund beginning with $100 million this year.

This is a moment of tremendous promise for the people of Africa.

Today I'm directing every agency and executive department of our Government to strengthen their enforcement of title IX within the next 90 days.

I believe it is essential that the Federal Government hold itself to the same principles of nondiscrimination in educational opportunities.

There is no question that we're better off because of title IX, but we can go even further to provide all people with the opportunity they deserve.

I commend the Congress for approving my request to extend Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid benefits through the end of fiscal 1997 to all legal immigrants who would otherwise lose them.
