Bill Clinton

I call on Congress to join us here to pass lobby reform and campaign finance reform, to do it in a bipartisan way, and to restore the public trust.

Voting is the oxygen of democracy.

Today I am announcing that I will use the power of my office to bring the sunlight of full disclosure to the lobbying process in Washington.

Our Administration has actively pursued a national energy policy since January 1993.

Energy policies that promote efficiency, domestic energy production, scientific and technological advances, and American exports help sustain a strong domestic economy.

I strongly support the Work First bill proposed by Senators Daschle, Breaux, and Mikulski.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all who have been impacted by the hurricane.

This plan sends people to work so they can earn a paycheck, not a welfare check.

The days of made in Washington solutions, dictated by a distant Government, are gone.

It is time for Congress to reach across party lines and pass real welfare reform.

As far as I know--we have not added anything new to what was already known, but as far as I know we have been totally forthcoming and have said everything there is to be said on it. Telecommunications Reform

I have not, but we've obviously been in touch with them. And we're trying to--we're going to keep pushing until we get an answer one way or the other. If the Speaker does not want to do this, he ought to say that he has no intention of…

Mr. Mikva has said in the letter exactly what my role in that was, and it's consistent with what I've said all along. And I don't have anything new to add to that. Bosnia
