Bill Clinton

The Senate and I share a common goal: We both want to improve cooperation with Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean in the fight against drugs.

I want to commend the management of American Airlines and the leadership of the Allied Pilots Association for their commitment to each other and to the traveling public.

I certified Mexico because of the unprecedented level of counternarcotics cooperation we have achieved in the last year and because of the positive steps Mexico has taken on its own to fight drug trafficking.

Just as no law prevents every crime, no treaty is foolproof.

The resolution approved today represents bipartisan cooperation at its best.

I am pleased by the announcement yesterday that the negotiating teams for American Airlines and the Allied Pilots Association have reached a tentative agreement on their longstanding labor dispute.

The President's decision to certify Mexico's counterdrug efforts was based on an objective review of Mexico's significant accomplishments over the past year.

I welcome the Senate action endorsing greater cooperation with Mexico and other nations in our hemisphere in the common fight against the scourge of drugs.

I'm looking forward to the meeting.

I welcome the Senate's farsighted approach, and I urge the House to take up this bill and pass it as quickly as possible.

This certification reinforces our ongoing efforts and will foster increased U.S.-Mexico cooperation and strengthen Mexico's own antidrug initiatives.

This settlement would not have been possible without their leadership and oversight.

When labor and management work together, as they did here, U.S. industries are better able to maintain their prominent positions in the global marketplace.

So far we're doing all right.

It would be harmful to our national interests if the United States... was on the outside, not the inside, when it comes into operation on April 29.

President Zedillo has shown the determination to confront the drug trade head-on and to root out corruption.

I think it speaks well of the parties and their intentions that this tentative agreement was reached more than 5 weeks before the April 28 'cooling off' deadline.

Today we join with the people of Japan in remembering their pain and loss.

I was quite encouraged.

I urge the Senate to help protect our citizens and soldiers and strengthen our fight against terror by ratifying the Chemical Weapons Convention now.

The Senate's resolution adopts a clear stand that will support our efforts.

I intend to veto any legislation that fails to guarantee real choice for employees, real protection against employer abuse, and preservation of fair labor standards.

Today I have signed into law H.R. 924, the 'Victim Rights Clarification Act of 1997.'

Our environment is, literally, our common ground.

The Miller amendment, however, would ensure real employee choice, by adding crucial provisions not found in H.R. 1.
