Bill Clinton

The growth figures clearly show that the economy of the United States is moving, that we're on the right track.

My goal is to ultimately come out with a budget which satisfies their stated principles, which I have embraced, but which honors my stated principles, which they have yet to embrace.

No. I believe--what we know, though, is that we can-- when I ran for President, I didn't think I should make more than a 4- year pledge. [Laughter] And what I said was that I thought we could get the deficit to half what it was when I took…

Well, the only thing I can tell you is that he worked in my first campaign for Governor, and I think he's an able man; he's a creative man. And when you have a long time relationship with somebody, you know when to listen and then you do…

That depends entirely on what is in the budget. It depends entirely on what is in the budget. You know, my idea of what America should look like in the 21st century does not include denying tens of thousands of children the chance to be in…

I don't think that going into the details of what's going on would be helpful. But I have--I talk--every time I meet with or see Republican Members of Congress, every time I talk to Republican business leaders, every time I talk to anybody…

Well, we'll do what we've always done in cases like this. I will veto, and then they'll either pass legislation that's acceptable or they won't. But that is their choice. You know, before they ever adopted a budget resolution, as soon as…

I believe that the legislation should protect and promote diversity of ownership and opinions in the mass media.

I strongly support retention in the final bill of the Snowe-Rockefeller provision that will ensure that schools, libraries and hospitals have access to advanced telecommunications services.

Parents have a right to expect that their children will be safe when they go to school in the morning.

If this budget reconciliation legislation were sent to the President in its current form, he would veto it.

I also believe that the provisions allowing mergers of cable and telephone companies are overly broad.

Guns have no place in our schools.

I am committed to promoting competition in every aspect of the telecommunications and information industries.

Our message is clear: We will not tolerate threats to the safety of America's students and teachers.

I remain concerned that neither bill provides a meaningful role for the Department of Justice in safeguarding competition before local telephone companies enter new markets.

We will continue also and we will intensify our efforts to fight the forces of terror who would turn back the march of history.

Allow actual or prospective bidders or offerors whose direct economic interests would be affected by the award or failure to award the contract to request a review

I believe that economic growth could take the deficit down even more quickly.

Today, America is on the move.

I will veto it and demand a budget that is balanced in a way that reflects our values and promotes our economy.

We ought to do what's right for America.

It takes many backs to bear the burden of peace and the awful burden of change.

Prohibit award or performance of the contract while a timely filed protest is pending before the agency

I just didn't want to overpromise.
