�REMARKS BY PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
CLINTON/GORE FUNDRAISER
SOMERSET, NEW JERSEY
JUNE 22, 1995
Thank you, Al for that
gracious introduction. Senators Lautenberg and Bradley -powerful voices in the Senate and a great team for New Jersey.
Senator Lautenberg won a tough:battle to return to the Senate
last year. We're glad he's back. Senator Bradley is up for reelection next year. Let's make sure he returns. His voice is
vital for the direction of America. Al DeCotiis, Lou Katz, Ray
Lesniak, Jack Rosen, Bob Raymar.
Hillary and I are delighted to
be back here in New Jersey with members of our extended family
which includes all of you, and our good friends, Al and Tipper
Gore.
Acknowledgements and introduction.
92' bus tour.
You might recall that New Jersey was the first
stop in that great moment for all of us, our 1992 Bus Tour. And
I have fond memories of one of our last stops in that campaign -a wonderful rally at the Meadowlands the Sunday night before the
election. You have been among our biggest supporters. You were
with us at the beginning. Yoli are with us now. Thank you.
During the Bus tour, we met
hundreds of hard working people across this state who were doing
their dead-level best to be productive workers and responsible
citizens. For too long they had been the forgotten middle class.
I ran for President because I was profoundly worried that our
children could become the first generation of Americans not to do
as well as their parents. Our job is to restore the American
Dream as we face the challenges and opportunities of a new
century. To reinvigorate the middle class. To preserve 6ur
freedom, maintain our democracy, and do what is necessary to help
the people of New Jersey and all Americans make the most of their
lives.
Keep the American Dream Alive.
Many middle class Americans, like the
ones we met on that bus tour are finding it difficult to cope
with the rapid changes of the technological age and the new
global economy. Many of them are working harder for the same or
less money than they made 15 years ago. They are uncertain
about, their jobs, about crime, about their futures. So, we have
dedicated ourselves to doing all we could to empower people to
prosper ~n this new environment. And, as the Vice President has
said, we have made significant progress [VEEP does
accomplishments]. Our work is not yet done.
Our work is not yet done.
So, I am glad to be back here in New
Jersey to finish what we started two-and-a-half years ago.
Earlier today, we talked to the workers at a Ford Motor plant in
Edison. They represent the heart and soul of America -- hard
Ford Motor tour today.
1
�working middle class men and women who get up every day, go to
work, produce the finest products in the world, and who are
committed to building a future of prosperity for themselves. and
their children.
There is a great debate going on in
Washington about the proper. role of government as worked towards
our goals. There are those who say that our primary problems are
personal and cultural, not economic and political. There are
those who say that the biggest problems we face are due to the
fact that the federal government has too much authority, and more
ought to be given to the state and local level. At one level
they are right. If people don't do what they are supposed to do,
nothing the rest of us can do will make anybody get an education,
or be a good parent, or stay out of a gang. But, I'm a Democrat
because I believe the problems we face are personal and cultural,
but not exclusively personal and cultural. And I think we're put
on this earth to try to help other people reach their full
potential. And we're·better off when we do that.
Debate in Washington.
I have been a proponent .of smaller government for a long time.
In fact, the Vice President and I have been successful in
shrinking the size of government by more than 100,000 positions
since we came to Washington. So, we all agree that government
should be smaller and more efficient, and that individual
responsibility is essential to our success. The debate now turns
to precisely what a smaller, better government should do for the
American people.
I believe that government must be a partner to help people who
work hard make the most of their lives.
To build a secure future for working families
and all Americans, ·we must reduce the deficit and balance the
budget.
Balanced Budget.
For the first time in a long time, the leaders in
both ·parties share the will to balance the federal budget. We
need to seize this opportunity. The real question is how can we
do it in a way that is good for the long-run and the short-run
futures of America.
Agreement.
Differences~ere
is bipartisan agreement about a balanced
budget. But, there are differences between my approach and what
Congressional leaders wants to do -- the difference between
necessary cuts and unacceptable pain. Yes, there is a budget
deficit, but there is also an education deficit and an investment
deficit in the American people. I believe we have to reduce the
deficit and at the same time continue to invest in-the things
that make us strong: ·education, technology, health care, the
environment. My proposal would not have big tax cuts for upperincome people who really don't need them. We would save that
2
�money and put it back into education and medical care for the
elderly and others who are in real need. So, let's find a way to
balance the budget and still invest in the education and training
and empowerment of all the people we expect to lead us into the
21st century. That's what it means to be a Democrat. And that's
why I'm proud to be one.
When we talk about investing in people, here's what we mean:
You and I are winners. We have the education and
training to thrive in this global economy. · I feel very fortunate
just to stand here tonight. ~·m the first person in my family to
get a college education. I had student loans and I paid them
back, but I needed them badly. For people to have .the chance to
make the most of their lives in the 21st century, we must give
them the choice of lifelong learning -- constant re-education and
training. We must give our children the same opportunities we
had. Cutting education now would be like cutting the Defense
Department at the height of the Cold War.
Education.
If you have no faith in government at all, then
you're not doing anything wrong by letting polluters rewrite the
-laws like they are doing in Congress. I don't believe that and
most Americans don't either. We must not forsake our stewardship
of the environment. We must protect the Jersey seashore and
keep the air and water safe and clean for future generations.
Environment.
If you believe that the market always solves all
problems, and the government only messes things up, it's
understandable why you would be against raising the minimum wage.
But we know better. If we don't raise the minimum wage this
year, it's going to be at the lowest level in 40 years next year.
If we are serious about reforming welfare and moving people to
work, we must make work pay. We ought to raise the minimum wage.
It's th~ right thing to do.
Minimum Wage.
Real welfare reform moves people from dependence
to independence -- from a welfare check to a paycheck. The
Democratic.approach to welfare reform achieves this without
simply cutting people off or hurting their children. This will
save more money down the road than the other Congressional
proposals.
Welfare reform.
One of our most important challenges and
responsibilities is to make sure that Americans feel more secure
in their homes and neighborhoods. That our children can learn in
school and not fear for their safety. That's why I fought hard
to put 100,000 new police officers on the street. That's why we
fought hard to pass an assault weapons bah. That's why we will
keep those commitments.
Crime bill.
3
�Going Up and Down Together.
In the face of all these challenges,
believe our nation is in the best position of any country to
seize the opportunities of the 21st century, but only if we
understand that we will go up and down together.
It is folly for
any of us to believe that we can live and function and make the
most of our lives all by ourselv~~b~ That's why we are Democrats.
We have always embraced the tact~~beyond our families, we
have work, we have communities, we have state~, and we are part
of a country. We must go forward together. We have been divided
long enough.
There are children out there to be saved and a
world to be made, and that is what we intend to do.
Thank you and God bless you all.

STATEMENT BY
PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
THE SENATE VOTE
ON SURGEON GENERAL NOMINEE,
DR. HENRY FOSTER
THE WHITE HOUSE
JUNE 21, 1995
�I was pleased that 57 Senators voted to allow a simple
up or down vote on the nomination of Dr. Henry
Foster. Fifty-seven Senators -- a strong majority -·voted to give him a fair chance and a full vote. But, a
small minority of extremists are using this nomination
to dictate a litmus test for the rest of America. That is
wrong.
The Senators who voted to deny Dr. Foster an ·up or
down vote did a great disservice to a good man. They
also did a disservice to our whole system of democracy.
This wasn't a vote about my right to choose a Surgeon
General. It was a vote against every woman's right to
choose.
2
�•
Henry Foster is eminently qualified to be America's
doctor. He has spent 38 years in medicine -- much of
it working to improve the health of women and children
in poor and rural areas. He has delivered thousands of
babies and trained hundreds of young doctors. His
efforts to curb teen pregnancy have earned him high
praise from both Democrats and Republicans. And Dr.
Foster shares my view that abortion should be safe,
legal and rare.

...
The Senate gets another chance to do the right thing
tomorrow. Henry Foster deserves an up or down vote.
Fair is fair. The Senate must stop talking and start
doing their duty to the American people and to
democracy. Thank you.

THE WHITE HOUSE
JUNE 21, 1995
I have just met with a group of Republican Senators to urge
them to allow a simple up or down vote on the nomination of Dr.
Henry Foster. After more than four months of exhaustive scrutiny
and debate, Dr. Foster and the American people deserve a decision
-- .. not more delay.
Dr. Foster has met with Senators. He's
answered their questions, both privately and in a hearing
witnessed by the entire country. He has played by the rules.
Now it's time for the Senate to do the same. They've heard the
testimony, studied the record, and now they must act. Henry
Foster deserves a vote -~ up or down.
Fair is fair.
No games.
No filibuster.
All I have heard and seen these past four months strengthens my
support for this remarkable man. Dr. Foster has spent 38 years

�DR. FOSTER DESERVES TO BE CONFIRMED
Wednesday, June 21, 1995
Dr. Foster "clearly demonstrated his qualifications.
If he is
not qualified to be America's doctor, it is hard to imagine who
would be.
There has been a lot of politics and a lot of talk
back and forth on this nomination, but now the time had come to
do the right thing.
If the majority of the United States Senate
is for him, he should certainly be confirmed."
President Clinton
May 25, 1995
Time to Vote.
The United States Senate has questioned Dr.
Foster, met with Dr. Foster, considered Dr. Foster, and debated
Dr. Foster for almost 5 months. Enough is enough.
Now it's
time to vote on Dr. Foster.
What's Fair is Fair.
Henry Foster deserves the simple respect of
an up or down vote on his nomination. The American people
deserve to know where their Senators stand on Dr. Foster's
nomination. A vote to end the debate isn't a vote on Dr. Foster,
and it's not fair.
Come on-- nobody voting for more debate
really thinks we need to debate this anymore.
So what are they
afraid of? It's time to stop hiding behind procedural tricks.
Let the Senate vote on Dr. Foster, and let the Senate decide.
If
a majority of the U.S. Senate wants Dr. Foster to be Surgeon
General, he should be S~rgeon General.
If a majority is opposed
to Dr. Foster, he shouldn't be. That's it. Stop talking, start
voting.
***
Dr. Foster is Well Qualified to be America's Doctor.
Dr. Foster has spent 38 years in medicine. He has the
,
leadership, knowledge, and compassion to be the doctor for all
Americans. He has dedicated his life to improving the health of
women and children in his care. He has delivered thousands of
babies and trained hundreds of young doctors.
He has worked
hand-in-hand with people in undeserved communities to solve their
health problems.
In Tuskegee, Alabama, ·Dr. Foster established a program, now a
model, to bring prenatal care to poor rural women. He led a
multi-million dollar national campaign to expand health services
for high-risk youth.
"I Have A Future," his program to address
America's teyn-pregnancy problem, was named one of America's
Thousand,Points of Light by President Bush.
In 1992, Dr. Foster
led the successful effort to save one of America's foremost black
medical schools.

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
CLINTON/GORE FUNDRAISER
SOMERSET, NEW JERSEY
JUNE 22, 1995
Thank you, Al for that
gracious introduction. Senator Lautenberg, Senator Bradley, Al
DeCotiis, Lou Katz, Ray Lesniak, Jack Rosen, Bob Raymar ...
Hillary and I are delighted to be back here in New Jersey with
· members of our extended family which includes all of you, and our
good friends, Al and Tipper Gore.
Acknowledgements and introduction.
You might recall that New Jersey was the first
stop in our 1992 "Putting People First" bus tour. And one of our
last stops in that campaign was at a wonderful rally a few days
before the election at the Meadowlands. You have been among our
biggest supporters. You were with us at the beginning. You are
with us now. Thank you.
Appreciation.
'92 pus tour.
During the '92 bus tour, we met the workers at an
aerospace plant in Camden. We let them know that we planned to
go to Washington to move this country forward. To help protect
their jobs and their wages. To make sure they could get the
retraining they needed to stay competitive. To make sure that
their children could get the education and support they needed to
do well in the emerging global economy. And, as the Vice
President has·said, we have made significant progress . . But there
is much more to do.
Earlier today, we talked to the workers
at a Ford Motor plant in Edison. They represent the heart and
soul of America -- hard working middle class men and women who
get up every day, go to work, produce the finest products in the
world, and who are committed to building a future of prosperity
for themselves and their children.
Ford Motor tour today.
Many middle class Americans like
the ones we met today are not feeling the benefits of our
economic recovery. They are working harder for the same or less
money than they made 15 years ago. They are uncertain and
anxious about their jobs, about crime, about their futures.
Middle Class working harder.
Some; say all our problems are social and
cultural; therefore, government has no role to play. Others say
all our problems are economic and political. They think
government can fix everything. Those are false choices. We
believe problems are personal and cultural, but not exclusively
so. We believe that government must be a partner to help people
who work hard make the most of their lives.
Debate in Washington.
You sent me to Washington because you
believed that government could and must do more to restore the
American dream for middle class families. To do that, we have to
Restore American Dream.

reduce the deficit and balance the budget, while continuing to
invest in the things that keep us strong: education, technology,
a healthy environment, public safety, research.
My budget plan proves that we can do both.
It cuts federal
spending by $1.1 trillion. It does not raise taxes. It is
disciplined, comprehensive, and serious. My approach will help
us shrink the underclass and grow the middle class.
First, we must help people make the most of

their lives.
education.
Second, we must control health care costs, strengthening Medicare
and saving Medicaid.
Third, my plan cuts taxes for the .middle class -- not the
wealthy. Central to this is my G.I. Bill for American Workers.
It recognizes there's a budget deficit and an education deficit.
Promotes lifelong learning. Consolidates 70 job training
programs into a single grant that puts money into the hands of
people who need it.
Fourth, we save money by cutting welfare -- by moving people to
work, not simply cutting them off or hurting children. This will
save more money down the road than the current Congressional
proposals.·
And fifth, my plan balances the budget in ten years. We could do
it in seven, but there is no reason to inflict the pain that
would cause or run the risk of a recession.
For the first time in a long
time, the leaders of both parties share the will to balance the
federal budget. We must seize this opportunity, cast
partisanship aside, and get the job done.
Historic, bipartisan opportunity.
We are Democrats because we believe Americans ought to come
together everyday -- not just in times of national tragedy, like
Oklahoma City or in times of national celebration, like the
rescue of Scott O'Grady. The fundamental belief that we go up or
down together is what makes us Democrats. This vision will carry
us forward in 1996.
Thank you.
