Every child can learn; it's important to trust local people to run the schools; and we must have accountability to determine whether or not every child is learning.

I know societies can change one person at a time.

It's the cumulative kindness of America that really makes our country so different from everyplace else.

Trade is an American issue, and it's an important American issue.

The nations of the Americas celebrate the progress we have made toward our collective goal of a hemisphere united in freedom and democracy.

I welcome today's arrest of Slobodan Milosevic, the former President of Yugoslavia.

Milosevic was responsible for great suffering throughout the Balkan region.

He deserves to be tried for his crimes against the Serbian people.

Good relations in our neighborhood is not going to be an afterthought for our foreign policy in America.

Absolutely, we can work together.

We've had a good, frank discussion about a lot of subjects.

There's no question in my mind that we'll have good relations over the next years.
