On the recordSeptember 27, 1996
That is a remarkable accomplishment. I think any objective observer who looks at the economic indicators can only conclude that this economic plan has been remarkable in its success. In fact, last year, for the first time in many years, the United States was judged to be the most competitive economy in the world. That designation has been given to the United States again this year. It is the first time in a very long time we saw the United States replace Japan as the most competitive nation in the world. So again, I think the evidence is clear and powerful and compelling that this President's economic plan is working and working well.
