Bill Clinton

The only way to abolish war is to make peace heroic.

I cannot say enough to the British people how much I appreciate and admire the Prime Minister in taking this kind of risk for peace.

I am delighted that Congress has passed lobby reform legislation.

Democracy has not merely endured, it has prevailed.

I pledge to you that America will live up to its history and its ideals as well.

I hope the framework will be accepted by all the parties.

Lobby reform will be good for American democracy and will help restore the trust of the people in their Government.

We have a relationship that is enduring and very special.

Let us now resolve to stand together for the bright and shining prospect of the next century.

This new law will require professional lobbyists, for the first time, to fully disclose who they are working for and what legislation they are trying to pass or kill.

We have always been kin, kin in blood, kin in religion, kin in representative government, kin in ideals, kin in just and lofty purposes.

If we can secure the peace in Bosnia— and I am convinced that we can and will— that will bring us a step closer to the goal of a free, peaceful, and undivided Europe.

This bill will help change the way Washington does business.

When America does not lead, the consequences can be very grave, not only for others but eventually for us as well.

If we're not there, NATO will not be there; the peace will collapse; the war will reignite; the slaughter of innocents will begin again.

We cannot stop all war for all time, but we can stop some wars. We cannot save all women and all children, but we can save many of them.

America has embodied an idea that has become the ideal for billions of people throughout the world.

America's role will not be about fighting a war. It will be about helping the people of Bosnia to secure their own peace agreement.

We can now contribute ideas on how they can keep their momentum and how they can keep moving forward.

When all States have these laws, hundreds more lives will be saved and thousands of injuries will be prevented.

I am, therefore, strongly committed to the requirement in this Act for Federal and State officials to work together to assess the costs and benefits of any change in speed limits.

I believe that this legislation will benefit the Nation by designating and funding the National Highway System.

This is not something the American government sold to both sides.

This Act advances my Administration's continued commitment to strategic investment in our Nation's infrastructure.

Today I have signed into law S. 440, the 'National Highway System Designation Act of 1995.'
