Bill Clinton

You know, within an hour I'm going to leave the White House here and go dedicate the memorial to the veterans who fought in World War II 50 years ago. Ms. Forgey. That's me.

Well, I'm very glad, and I know you're grateful to all of these folks that are here. That's why I wanted to tell you they were here. Ms. Forgey. I certainly am. Mr. Byrnes. It's a blessing, Mr. President, it really is. Ms. Forgey. Yes. You…

And I'm here with Frank Dosio, who came up with the idea, and also with the leaders of the groups that implemented it, the Communications Workers of America, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Bell Atlantic, and NYNEX…

That's great. Well, I'm just calling to wish all of you a happy Veterans Day and to say to you and veterans like you in the hospitals all across our country that we're thinking about you, we're pulling for you, and we're very excited about…

Well, you're all on the line, and you sound like you're next door. Ms. Forgey. That's the wonderful telephone company. There's one thing that we're---- Mr. Frizzell. We're on the line, and you can get us.

I also congratulate Secretary of State Warren Christopher, who played a direct role in assisting the parties to arrive at this agreement.

I congratulate the parties for the wisdom they have shown in entering into this agreement and avoiding renewed conflict.

America must never forget the debt we owe the World War II generation.

I believe we can find a good-faith way to keep the Government open and make good on its obligations.

The unemployment and inflation rates together are at a 25-year low.

I am proud of the landmark legislation we have passed to fight the scourge of youth violence.

This budget debate is not about whether we will balance the budget.

I really appreciate you.

Five full months ago, I proposed an alternative plan to balance the budget in 10 years while protecting Medicare and Medicaid.

Juvenile violence remains the number one crime problem in America.

I really thank you for it.

This memorial whose site we dedicate today will be a permanent reminder of just how much we Americans can do when we work together, instead of fighting among ourselves.

That was the serious and responsible thing to do, and I applauded them for doing it at the time.

Let us honor their achievements by upholding always the ideals they defended and by guarding always the dreams they fought and died for, for our children and our children's children.

That is wrong, and I will not accept it.

Corporation November 9, 1995 To the Congress of the United States: In accordance with the provisions of section 13, Public Law 806, 80th Congress (15 U.S.C. 714k), I transmit herewith the report of the Commodity Credit Corporation for…

These measures would make a Government default almost inevitable.

I want to work with Congress to resolve these differences and to keep the Government running in the interest of the American people.

The American people deserve a serious debate over these two approaches to balancing the budget.

This budget debate is about two very different futures for America.
