((For the FINAL time, President Clinton made his way through a
throng of well- wishers and legislative enemies to a place before
Congress and tonight, a place in history.
Although the atmosphere may have had a sense of finality, the
Presidents speech did not filled with big plans a revolution in the
Presidents words at a time when the nation can afford to fire the first shot.
my fellow Americans, the state of our union is the strongest it has ever
been!
He began with education -- and a 3 billion dollar proposal that
would demand MORE from teachers and students, and offer universal
pre-school programs.
All of it accompanied by a 280 million dollar gun control measure in
part designed to stop school violence something the President credited
Al Gore for trying to do once, but blamed House Republicans for letting
it fall through later.
With courage, and a tie-breaking vote by the Vice President, the Senate
faced down the gun lobby, stood up for the American people, and passed
this legislation. But the House failed to follow suit.
A mountain of new proposals fell under the umbrella of a massive 350
billion dollar tax cut package. ranging from credits for college
tuition to more deductions for married couples.
On health care, the President continued his efforts to get
prescription drugs for the elderly covered under Medicare. And pushed
for a patients bill of rights, campaign finance reform, and raising the
minimum wage.
These are great goals, worthy of a great nation. We will not reach them
all this year. Not even in this decade. But we will reach them.
