Bill Clinton

The United States has stood with you, the people of Israel, in times of triumph and tragedy.

Those responsible thrive on division and conflict.

The United States has always stood with the people of Israel through good times and bad.

I believe God will deliver Israel from those powerful vipers.

We have never been more determined to defend these ideals and to achieve our goal of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

Well, I'm going to encourage them to do more, to do everything that they can do, and we'll be working with them over the next few days. And I'm sure we'll be in touch, and we'll be answering more of your questions over the next few days…

Congress has lost a tenacious champion of America's elderly and an unrelenting fighter for health care reform.

We ought to raise the minimum wage.

Today we must grow together, or we will surely grow apart and grow weaker as a Nation.

If you fight for peace, we will stand with you.

His deep dedication to the Congress and to the American people will be sorely missed.

I believe we have to go into the next century with the American dream alive and well for every person who is willing to work for it.

That is the challenge.

When this country is divided, we defeat ourselves.

The American people are grateful for Sam Gibbons' long service.

It is about the idea of America, the idea that this is a place where there is room for everyone to have a shot at the American dream.

I pledge that the United States will stand with you and with all those—Israelis and Palestinians—who support peace as you take up this challenge.

But there must be no misunderstanding: The Palestinian people and their leaders, as well as the promise of peace itself, will be the true victims if those responsible are not stopped.

We have to build the capacity of all the forces in the Middle East, including the Palestinian authorities, to promote law and order and to stand against terrorism.

Once again, Americans join with the nation of Israel in their grief.

It is clear that there are forces at work in the Middle East who don't want peace.

The suicide bombing in the Middle East last night shows once again how determined the enemies of peace are.

We share your anguish and anger at this terrorist crime.

I believe we can prevail.

HIV/AIDS Drug March 1, 1996 Our national investment in AIDS research is paying off. Among scientists, as among many people living with HIV, despair is giving way to hope. We cannot stop now. We must recommit ourselves to finding a cure.
