o f f i c e of the Press Secretary
(Portsmouth, united Kingdom)
For Immediate Release

1994
RADIO ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO THE NATION
Hartwell House
Aylesbury, England
3:06 P.M.
(L)
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Today I am speaking
to you from Aylesbury, England, just outside of London. H i l l a r y
and I are in the middle of a journey of remembrance and discovery
as we honor the s a c r i f i c e s of the remarkable Americans who helped
to liberate Europe in world War I I .
The generation of heroes who defeated fascism l e f t a
safer world for the generations after them, and we are grateful.
Our country led the forces of freedom during the world war, and
our economy led the world in the decades that followed.
This morning I want to talk about some very good
news that shows how much we can s t i l l accomplish together when we
as a nation act decisively.
In 1993, I took office determined to renew our
economy so that we could pass on prosperity and opportunity to
our own children. Remember, our economy had suffered from a
decade or more of d e f i c i t s and d r i f t , slow growth or no growth.
Then we made some tough choices « to bring down the
d e f i c i t , to provide more incentives to invest, and to invest more
in the education and training of our people on new technologies,
and on helping to convert from a defense to a domestic economy.
Well, now we're beginning to see the results, our
economy i s back. I t ' s expanding steadily. Most important, i t ' s
creating jobs — millions of good-paying jobs. Yesterday, the
government released new s t a t i s t i c s showing the success of our
efforts. since this administration took office in January 1993,
the United States has created over 3 million jobs, most of them
good paying jobs, nearly a l l of them in the private sector.
We're creating new private sector jobs at seven
times the rate that occurred during the previous administration.
During the 1992 campaign we said we'd create 8 million jobs in
four years. We're running way ahead of schedule now.
America i s
on the way to creating 2 million more in '94.
But mere s t a t i s t i c s tend to be abstract. Everywhere
a l l around us, we see signs of steady economic renewal. The Big
Three in Detroit are back, adding s h i f t s , and once again making
the best cars in the world. New businesses are being
incorporated at a record pace, consumer confidence i s up.
I n f l a t i o n i s in check. Business f a i l u r e s are down. And core
economic conditions, to quote the chairman of the Federal
Reserve, are "the best they've been in two decades."

A* I meet with our a l l i e s and v i s i t h i s t o r i c places
in Europe, I'm constantly reminded our economy i s now the
strongest in the world. Let's remember how this came about.
These 3 million new jobs are the product of the ingenuity, the
entrepreneurial energy and the willingness to change of the
American people. They are the result of an economic plan that
has seen to i t that government has been shrinking in the f i r s t
quarter of this year, while the private sector grows for the
f i r s t time in a decade.
we've cut
we s t i c k to this plan,
years in a row for the
white House, in fact,
of our national income
partners.
the d e f i c i t by $500 b i l l i o n . By 1995, i f
the d e f i c i t w i l l have declined for three
f i r s t time since Harry Truman was in the
our d e f i c i t i s now smaller as a fraction
than a l l but one of our major trading
we've made our cuts f a i r l y , we've sought cuts in
more than 300 programs in each o£ the f i r s t two years of the
budget. We've sought to eliminate over a hundred government
programs. Only the wealthiest 1.2 percent of our people were
asked to pay higher income taxes, working families didn't pay a
cent more in income taxes because of higher rates. In fact, for
every person who had taxes increase, at least 10 working families
had their taxes cut. We are protecting the middle c l a s s .
Now we have an obligation to keep"going to make sure
that every c i t i z e n benefits from a changing world. Too many
Americans haven't yet been touched by the economic renewal. This
year we want to build on our success by taking concrete steps to
keep the economy growing and to give our people the tools they
need to succeed.
A good s t a r t i s to increase our exports to other
countries. Trade means jobs. Thanks to the North American Free
Trade Agreement we may soon s e l l more to Mexico than we do to
Ja-an. This year I ' l l present to Congress a worldwide trade
agreement that w i l l create hundreds of thousands of new ^obs and
b i l l i o n s of dollars of exports for America. That's good for
America. And that's why congress must and w i l l r a t i f y the world
Trade Agreement soon.
When we create these good export jobs, we must make
sure our people are ready to f i l l them. These days, what you
earn depends on what you learn, s k i l l s and knowledge are the
most important asset of a l l . That's why we're working on a
lifetime learning system to train every c i t i z e n from the f i r s t
day of preschool to the l a s t day before retirement.
Now we have to f i x our broken unemployment system to
replace i t with a reemployment system so that when someone loses
a job, he or she can find a good new job as quickly as possible.
I am fighting for Congress to pass this reemployment act this
year, too.
F i n a l l y , our d e f i c i t w i l l grow and our expansion
Will sputter i f we don't reform our health care system. Health
care costs are going up more and more in more than any other part
of our budget, not for new health care, but to pay more for the
same health care. As you know, I am fighting hard to guarantee
health care for every American in a way that can never be taken
away, but that w i l l bring coats in line with i n f l a t i o n .
So there's s t i l l a lot more to
proud of what Americans have done. America
work. Unemployment i s down. Jobs are up.
Growth and new business i s up. Our economy
do. But l e t ' s be
i s going back to
Inflation i s down.

choices. That's what we've got to keep doing.
Thanks for listening.
