I'll leave that to you. Northern Ireland Peace Process Mr. Blair. I was saying to the President how immensely helpful people have found his visit to Northern Ireland a few months ago and what a boost it gave to the peace process. And I…

Yes, I'm looking forward to discussing a number of things including, obviously, the Irish peace process and the process in Northern Ireland, which is very important to the United States. And I want to compliment Mr. Blair and his party. I…

If I were in his position that's the question I'd ask. Look, it's all I can do to keep up with American politics. I only hope he's talking to the next American President. [Laughter]

I always try to pay them. [Laughter] I've got an accountant, and I tell him to resolve all doubt in favor of the Government and go on. [Laughter] That's what I've been saying for 20 years now. [At this point, one group of reporters left…

Yes. Well, Secretary Perry has been working very hard on that issue to try to deal with what we think are some very legitimate concerns the people of Okinawa have about the noise levels, access to land. And Japan has been a wonderful…

No, not yet. I may have something to say later today, but I think it's not appropriate for me to comment yet. We're trying to find out all of the facts. Okinawa

Claudia, would you like to talk? [Claudia Ades described the circumstances and complications of her pregnancy which made the procedure medically necessary. She said that all women deserved the finest medical care and thanked the President…

Vikki, do you want to say anything? [Vikki Stella described the circumstances and complications of her pregnancy which made the procedure medically necessary, concluding that it was God who had made the decision for her child to die.]

Thank you, Mitchell--and those are the prints of your baby, right? [Ms. Watts showed the President her daughter's handprints and footprints.]

Thank you. I'd like to ask Coreen Costello to come up and speak a little bit about her experience. [Coreen Costello described the circumstances and complications of her pregnancy which made the procedure medically necessary. She stressed…

That is what this legislation is all about.

Drug abuse and violence pose serious threats to the health and well-being of American youth.

Aircraft Tragedy in Croatia April 5, 1996 Last year, as we prepared to go to Oklahoma City, Hillary and I planted a dogwood tree here in honor of the public servants who lost their lives there. And this year as we prepare to go back…

In a democracy, government is not 'them' versus 'us.'

I am disappointed that the Congress has rolled back an important reform of the crop insurance program.

Yes, very. Especially that year. It's something that you can identify with as a pitcher. It was the greatest hitting year in 50 years. I mean, for people like me that grew up memorizing the baseball statistics, not just of all of my heroes…

Absolutely. Two, particularly. No matter how good you are at what you're doing, most things work out better when teams do it together. People work better together than they do on their own most of the time. And the second lesson is the…

One nice thing is, look how hard the wind is blowing, and you see the flags up there, and yet it's kind of calm in here, so it doesn't seem to be distracting the game.

----even the bad days are good, you know? Even the bad days are good. You know, the only frustrating thing is when you come up against a problem that you know cries out for some sort of resolution, and you're not sure you have the power to…

Yes. Oh, yes, I enjoy it very much. I'm honored every day when I go to work. There are some parts of it that are a little rougher than I thought it would be, but I have no complaints. I signed on for the whole show, and I'm just honored to…

I think you've got to give a lot of credit to conditioning, too. And the way he keeps himself in shape in the off- season and during the season must have an incredible amount to do with the fact that he was able to play relatively…

I think he did what I try to do; he didn't vary his routine. He just focused on the day that was before him. And I think that he must have had the record in mind, but it didn't paralyze his play. Even the night he was here, the night he…

What I want to know is how he's going to pay the bills. I'll consider it. I want to hear the rest of the deal. How is he going to not pay the bills?

Yes, I'm worried about that. I'm worried about him. I figure that--at the very least he's going to take more votes away from me than Senator Dole. [Laughter] I'm really worried about it. I think-- you know, I've always been a big fan of…

I think it meant a lot to me not only as a baseball fan but as a citizen and as the President now, as someone who really wants his country to work well. The idea that a man could show that kind of discipline and devotion to his work and…
