Bill Clinton

Today, that mission has been accomplished, on schedule and with remarkable success.

I believe you can do it, for as President Aristide has said, your challenge is great, but your will to succeed is greater.

You and all those who have served since last September helped to make that happen.

You should be very proud of what you have done.

Let's hope the owners and players see the light for the sake of the fans and bring back Major League Baseball.

I may stay all day, but not here behind the podium.

Every time you interview a bunch of people on welfare, they'll always tell you, 'If we had health care for our kids and child care and some way to go to work, we'll go to work.'

I hope they won't be locked out.

I want to remind you it's worth about half or maybe less than half of what it was when it was given in the early eighties.

We need to keep working on building the country.

I am pleased the Senate today overwhelmingly voted in support of Dan Glickman as the new Secretary at the Department of Agriculture.

That is the great question.

I believe the role of Government is to create opportunity with a minimum of bureaucracy.

It is important to hear firsthand from ordinary Americans, and I am pleased Dan is starting the job with his sleeves rolled up.

Nobody believes that anymore.

I hope they will bargain in good faith and be flexible and willing to compromise so that America's baseball fans again have a sport they can be proud of.

The Government is now over 100,000 people smaller than it was when I became President.

The idea that this is a special country, where little girls who can play the violin can come and breathe the air of freedom and fight for it for all of those who are like her who don't enjoy it.

I think common sense says that my way of saving money is better than the alternative proposal.

I ran for President largely because I thought our country at the dawn of this new century was facing a whole set of challenges.

For the first time in months there is reason for some optimism for those of us who are hoping for a 1995 baseball season with real major league players.

I think that is significant evidence that he wants to get to the bottom of this.

Dan Glickman will be a strong voice and advocate for farmers, working families, and American agriculture.

I hope the owners decide to let the players play ball.

Scientific discoveries inspire and enrich us.
