I am personally committed, Mr. Vice Premier, to the proposition that our relationship will not be undermined, but will be strengthened.

Today we confirm a new set of relations based on trust and mutual respect.

The two Governments reaffirm their commitments under the Agreement on Trade Relations between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China as the basis of their trade and economic relations.

I'm very proud to be part of it and to be the first passenger to depart.

This is a good achievement, and the quality of the work proves that this is also a sound investment.

We have never failed to meet any challenge or answer any question or solve any problem if the Nation was united and if Democrats were in the White House.

I see a future for this country to be strong, to be united, to be confident.

Our country now is facing a similar choice, and what you do as an individual American citizen... will make the difference.

You've got me and you're going to have me for 4 more years.

We'll invest heavily in the future in our human resources.

This year our country will produce more coal than in any other year in the history of the United States.

I hope that in this year 5741 [Jewish New Year] you'll help me be reelected President again.

I would not be President.

American strength does not depend just on defense budgets.

Since I've been in office it's decreased 24 percent.
