Bill Clinton
The Public Record

A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the position of Governor of Arkansas from 1983 to 1992.

His administration is noted for achieving a budget surplus and for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
You have shown the Haitians what it means to be a soldier in a free society, working for the people, not against them.
We, your neighbors, your allies, and your friends, will support your efforts to create jobs, to attract investment from beyond your borders, and to rebuild and repair your injured land.
Most important of all, the people of Haiti, have shown a powerful commitment to peace and to reconciliation.
The mission, with participants from 33 countries, has the tools it needs to succeed.
Your democracy will be maintained and strengthened by free elections and respect for the rights and obligations enshrined in your Constitution.
I think we should applaud this quick and decisive action and let the investigation proceed and not presume its results.
You not only answered the call of duty, time and again you have gone beyond it.
Today we stand in the warm, bright light of liberty, and together we can say, Kenbe fem, pa lage.
Uphold the constitution. Respect democracy and human rights. Defend them.
Today America says thank you to the men and women of our Armed Forces who helped to give Haiti a second chance.
More than 200 years later, the United States is proud to have helped to give you a second chance to build your democracy and bring life to the dreams of your liberators.
