Bill Clinton

I am grieved and outraged by the callous killing of a British soldier in Northern Ireland yesterday.

I do feel encouraged by the discussions we've had, that there are things worth working on, working through.

I urge them to remain steadfast.

It was a brave and wise thing to do.

The release of Palestinian prisoners earlier this week was an important sign of Israel's respect for past agreements and its willingness to take into account Palestinian needs.

I want, once again, to congratulate him for the agreement that was made with Chairman Arafat over Hebron.

I think it is imperative that Israel maintain the security of its northern border.

The agreement solved the immediate issue of redeployment and laid out a roadmap for the next steps that must be taken to fulfill existing agreements and to move ahead to the pivotal questions of the future.

I urge all those taking part, who share a commitment to democratic values, to move as rapidly as possible into substantive negotiation about the future of Northern Ireland.

She lifted our spirits and our vision.

We have a lot of things to discuss here, as you might imagine, and a limited time in which to discuss them.

The next step of what we talked about--what I talked about at the State of the Union. I think we have got an enormous opportunity here to do great things together, because I think there is a consensus all across the country and among both…

No. How can you say that? There will be a whole set of new elections up. There are elections in '98; there are elections in 2000; there are elections in 2002. I hope there will be elections 200 years from now.

This unprecedented Federal commitment reflects our resolve to do everything we can to protect our people and to prevent terrorism.

We will use all the tools of modern science to make flying as safe as possible.

Your work should give the American people confidence that air travel in the 21st century will be better and safer than ever before.

Delay would mean the death of campaign finance reform.

Passage of effective finance reform must be a priority for this Congress.

I'm optimistic, I'm hopeful, and I'm gratified to be invited to be here.

I'm very encouraged by what I've heard here today, and we're determined to go forward.

Thomas Jefferson did, and so should we.

I asked the Congress to pass bipartisan campaign finance reform by July the Fourth.

I think it's imperative that we pass a bipartisan balanced budget this year.

I always thought that the fact that both of them died on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was the best evidence the modern world has on the question of whether God is.

I think we have got an enormous opportunity here to do great things together.
