Bill Clinton

Let's get out of committee first.

I am pleased to transmit this report on the Nation's achievements in aeronautics and space during fiscal year 1994.

Thus, Fiscal Year 1994 was a highly successful one for the U.S. aeronautics and space programs.

The United States strongly favors a continued U.N. peacekeeping presence in the former Yugoslavia and a continuation of negotiations through the Contact Group.

I am now providing this follow-up report, consistent with the War Powers Resolution, to ensure that the Congress is kept informed about important U.S. contributions in support of multilateral efforts in the former Yugoslavia.

The price of conducting our foreign policy is, after all, not very high.

And the children are the new poor in America, and they will be not children before you know it.

I can't conceive of permitting it to become law, because it is an assault on the ability of the President to protect the interests of the American people.

We believe in 'cut and invest,' not 'slash and burn.'

This is not all that complicated.

There are people out there who just want to know that we are on their side.

We believe that the power of the Government ought to be used to elevate people.

If this bill passes in its present form, I will veto it, yes.

This diminution of U.S. global leadership, which this bill endorses, is short-sighted and dangerous.

The bill would also establish numerous overly broad or otherwise counterproductive conditions on the ability to provide foreign assistance and conduct related programs.

This Paperwork Reduction Act helps us to conquer a mountain of paperwork that is crushing our people and wasting a lot of time and resources.

Exporting is Everybody's Business.

Nothing is more precious, I see as I get older, than your own time.

I have determined, pursuant to sections 504(a)(1), (c)(1), and (c)(2) of the Trade Act, that certain beneficiary developing countries should no longer receive preferential tariff treatment under the GSP.

I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to make such conforming changes.

We can actually improve the system by making it less hidebound and by innovating as Americans are innovating.

I have determined that it is necessary to reflect accurately the intended tariff treatment provided for in the Uruguay Round Agreements.

I was saddened to hear that former Defense Secretary Les Aspin was hospitalized earlier today. Hillary and I wish him a speedy recovery. Our prayers are with him and his family at this time.

Les Aspin accomplished greatly because he cared greatly.

Les Aspin was unique.
