Bill Clinton

I am very proud of the fact that today, we and the Russians are destroying the weapons of our nuclear arsenal.

We must remember to do justice to their memories.

In an uncertain world, we still know we must maintain armed forces that are the best-trained, best-equipped, and best-prepared in the world.

Our debt is, therefore, to continue freedom's never-ending work, to build a Nation worthy of all those who fell for it.

Together, they show the tremendous strength that not only our Armed Forces but our entire Nation has drawn from our remarkable diversity.

The Democrats are not numerous enough to overcome a filibuster. But Senator Frist and Senator Jeffords put their country above their party today and did what they thought was right, and I think there will be others. There may even be some…

Not yet, no. If he did, I would tell him just what I told you, that the United Nations asked for this; they certainly weren't put up to it, that the Bosnian Serbs went way beyond the bounds of acceptable conduct. There have been clear…

I can't comment any further on what's going on now. I think it's important for the United Nations, who have the forces on the ground, to be able to deal with this situation. And as the events unfold, I'll be happy to comment. China

I would like for Dr. Foster to say something, too. Dr. Foster. I, too, would like to thank the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee for a fair hearing and for moving this forward to the full Senate. I also particularly want to thank…

I can't understand how some Senators could actually suggest that it's okay to use the military for nuclear terrorism but not to use them for chemical and biological terrorism.

We need the power to move our taps and surveillance as fast as the terrorist moves his base of operations.

We are simply giving law enforcement agencies who are committed to fighting terrorists for us the tools they need to succeed in the modern world.

There is no reason to delay enactment of a law that would require taggants in explosive materials.

Well, my position is that NATO should be prepared to react when our commanders on the ground need them. And you know, I've been--of all of our NATO allies, the United States has been the most vigorous proponent of the use of NATO…

Well, I base my optimism on the fact that usually in this country right prevails over political pressure over the long run. They have--we have dragged this thing out. You known, Dr. Foster was never a political football before; President…

I think it's important that when we disagree, we do it in the right way, aggressively and forthrightly, but in the proper forum.

There is hereby established the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses.

I want to thank the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee for endorsing the nomination of Dr. Foster to be Surgeon General and for doing it in a bipartisan fashion.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

We Americans retain a special bond to all of these heroes.

It would be unusual and unwarranted if this fine man were denied his day in court in the Senate.

I call upon all Americans to celebrate these days with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

Eleven million service members—more than 400,000 of them American—perished in that war.

This is a good day for the United States, and I look forward to going on to the next stage and to working right through until we get Dr. Foster confirmed.

May our children remember our cause well, and may they one day see a time when harmony fills the Earth.
