We know that when we do take responsibility we can meet the difficult challenges like crime, welfare, and poverty.

You do not have to believe one bad thing personally about his opponent.

Opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and coming together in a stronger American community.

If all the parents in this country paid the child support they owe, we could move 800,000 women and children off the welfare rolls tomorrow.

It would have been unconscionable for us to walk away from our continuing commitment to that.

Thank you for being here for John Kerry, who richly deserves your support for reelection because he has been fighting for your future.

The problems of our society will only be solved if there is an upsurge of personal responsibility.

I believe it takes a village to make the most of all of our lives.

My Administration takes additional steps to support our children and strengthen American families by facilitating the collection of delinquent child support obligations.

Our first and most fundamental duty is to bring a child into the world.

This budget agreement was a victory for our values and a victory for the American people.

The Executive order says simply if you owe child support, you shouldn't get the support of the National Government.

Me too. Well, congratulations. I know you want to go back to your family, but I just wanted to say hello. You've given us all a great deal to be proud of and a lot of thrills, and we're glad you're home safe and sound. Ms. Lucid. Thank you…

Thanks. I'm going down to Texas tomorrow, and I just got a note that said you might be there at the time I land in Houston. If so, I hope I get to see you. Ms. Lucid. Oh, well, that would be very nice. I hope that works out. That would…

Did you get your M&M's I sent you? Ms. Lucid. Oh, I sure did. I wanted to thank you first thing. That was so nice. They're already into them.

The other thing that I wanted to say was that--on behalf of my wife and daughter, is that you have been a terrific inspiration for young women around the country and all around the world. And I know as you get out and around and people get…

Yes, they are good people, and we're making real progress in working with them, I think. Ms. Lucid. I think so. And it couldn't have been a better experience. And I just thoroughly enjoyed working with the Cosmonauts.

Well, it was wonderful. And as I said, the whole country followed you, but I appreciate what you said about the cooperation with Russia, too. It really sets the stage for the work on the international space station. And it's very, very…

Well, we're all so proud of you. We've been watching you, and I couldn't believe you walked off the shuttle. Ms. Lucid. Well, I'm just really proud to be an American, and I'm just really proud to be part of this cooperative program that we…

First of all, I'm gratified that we got the Gallegly amendment out of the immigration bill. I thought that was the right thing to do, certainly the right thing for children. Every law enforcement group in America supported our position. I…

Well, we're still negotiating on that. I hope I will be. I'm satisfied with the process so far, but I haven't seen the product. So let me see the product before I tell you that. Immigration Legislation

Well, I feel good about it, but that is the way that our Government has traditionally worked. We've gotten together, worked together, and made principled compromises, and we did make principled compromises here. And we're continuing to…

Well, I think--let me just say--I would say on that-- let me give you the same answer I did before to the other question. I'm going to be guided very heavily by Secretary Christopher's advice on that. We are watching these events as they…

You know, he was in Europe, and he cut his trip short to go back to the Middle East, which I think was a very good thing for him to do. And when I come back from the Hill today, I'm going to get another update, and then we'll make a…

Secretary Christopher has talked with Prime Minister Netanyahu more than once, and we have been in touch several times with Chairman Arafat through the channels that we always use, through our team there, to talk with him, and I have had…
