There is nothing more effective in the fight against crime than more police officers on the beat.
Bill Clinton
The Public Record
Bill Jefferson Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from January 20, 1993, to January 20, 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the position of Governor of Arkansas from 1983 to 1992. During his presidency, Clinton focused on several key policies, including welfare reform, economic growth, and healthcare reform. His administration is noted for achieving a budget surplus and for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

This bill (H.R. 1561) would take us in an isolationist direction at a time when America is ready to lead in the world.
This is a moment that will long be remembered by a nation that is very proud of all her sons and daughters serving under your command.
These 263 new police officers are living proof that our crime bill will help to make your communities safer and help to make America safer.
We are particularly concerned about the vote to lift unilaterally the arms embargo in Bosnia.
All Americans rejoice with me at the successful rescue of Captain Scott O'Grady tonight.
