Bill Clinton

A country where Medicare withers on the vine, where our children are denied educational opportunity, where pollution worsens, where working people get a tax increase, that's not the kind of America I want for the 21st century.

I'm not about to give in to that kind of blackmail.

Our economy is the strongest in the world, and it's growing.

I believe they will vote for a balanced budget if it's the right kind of one.

This program, which assists almost 27 million low-income children, elderly, and working family members, continues to be the cornerstone of the Federal nutrition safety net.

And I'm glad you're going to stand with me.

We should balance the budget.

I'm going to veto it anyway.

The White House announced that the President will attend the dedication of a memorial cairn commemorating the victims of the terrorist bombing of Pan American Airlines Flight 103 at Arlington Cemetery on November 3.

I cannot in good conscience support a budget that actually raises taxes on people with incomes under $30,000 a year more than they're cut.

Just go out there and debate these things and tell them what we believe in, and it will all work out.

I am pleased that H.R. 1976 provides the resources necessary to keep the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children on the Administration's path to full funding.

We can't tolerate that.

Despite these concerns the overall bill is acceptable because of the very positive provisions I have already mentioned and because of the benefits its programs provide to farm families and rural communities.

So I will have no alternative but to veto it.

We need to build on this.

It's just not right.

The White House announced that the President and Hillary Clinton will make a state visit to Japan November 19-21.

We should be focusing on the challenges this economy poses, not undermining its strengths.

Approved October 21H.R. 1976 / Public Law 104-37Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996

Charles R. Stack, of Florida, to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit, vice Peter T. Fay, resigned.

I have signed into law H.R. 1976, the 'Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996.'

This Act provides $13.4 billion in discretionary budget authority for programs of the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.

I think we ought to balance the budget, secure Medicare, and I'm not opposed to a tax cut if it's properly targeted.

I mean, the Congress gets to propose, but the President has to sign or veto.
