On the recordSeptember 26, 1992
----or if he's the one that dumps that fecal coliform bacteria into the Arkansas River. No, the election is about your future: What kind of America you want to live in. I want an America where every graduate of this great school can find a good, decent job. I have laid out my Agenda for American Renewal, a comprehensive, integrated plan, so America can win the economic competition. I want to open up new foreign markets for our products, because the American worker never retreats; we always compete. And we always win.

I am proud, you wouldn't get it from listening to the Clinton-Gore ticket cry, but I am proud that under my administration half the college students in America now receive some form of Federal grant or tuition assistance.
