                                    Foreword

        In my inaugural address, I declared: ``Our democracy must be not
    only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is
    nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with
    America.''

        In the first 6 months of our Administration, we called upon
    America's historic strengths to revitalize the economy, restore the
    middle class, rebuild our national security for a new era, and renew the
    people's sense of national community and their faith in public
    institutions.

        We built upon the entrepreneurial energy of our free enterprise
    system with an economic plan that cut the Federal deficit, invested in
    our workers' skills, expanded college opportunity for the sons and
    daughters of the middle class, rewarded the efforts of the working poor,
    and helped businesses expand and create new jobs. We strengthened
    American families with the Family and Medical Leave Act, which helps
    Americans be good parents and good workers. We enhanced America's world
    leadership with efforts to open foreign markets, ensure the readiness of
    our military forces, promote democracy abroad, preserve our planet's
    natural environment, and advance regional security in Europe, Asia, the
    Mideast, and throughout the world. We strengthened America's sense of
    community with initiatives here at home to encourage young people to
    serve their country, to protect our people from violent crime and drug
    abuse, and to reinvent government to make it reflect American values.
    And we began the work of preserving what is right, and fixing what is
    wrong, with America's health care system.

        Most of all, this volume is a testimonial to those who embody what
    is best about America, the citizens of our country. The American people
    called for the changes chronicled in this volume; they held the
    President and the Congress accountable for achieving these changes; and,
    in countless actions in their own lives--from raising their children
    with values of responsibility and faith to helping to keep their own
    neighborhoods safe from crime and violence--they are continuing the work
    of renewing our democracy.

                                     Preface

        This book contains the papers and speeches of the 42d President of
    the United States that were issued by the Office of the Press Secretary
    during the period January 20-July 31, 1993. The material has been
    compiled and published by the Office of the Federal Register, National
    Archives and Records Administration.

        The material is presented in chronological order, and the dates
    shown in the headings are the dates of the documents or events. In
    instances when the release date differs from the date of the document
    itself, that fact is shown in the textnote. Every effort has been made
    to ensure accuracy: Remarks are checked against a tape recording, and
    signed documents are checked against the original. Textnotes and cross
    references have been provided by the editors for purposes of
    identification or clarity. Speeches were delivered in Washington, DC,
    unless indicated. The times noted are local times. All materials that
    are printed full-text in the book have been indexed in the subject and
    name indexes, and listed in the document categories list.

        The Public Papers of the Presidents series was begun in 1957 in
    response to a recommendation of the National Historical Publications
    Commission. An extensive compilation of messages and papers of the
    Presidents covering the period 1789 to 1897 was assembled by James D.
    Richardson and published under congressional authority between 1896 and
    1899. Since then, various private compilations have been issued, but
    there was no uniform publication comparable to the Congressional Record
    or the United States Supreme Court Reports. Many Presidential papers
    could be found only in the form of mimeographed White House releases or
    as reported in the press. The Commission therefore recommended the
    establishment of an official series in which Presidential writings,
    addresses, and remarks of a public nature could be made available.

        The Commission's recommendation was incorporated in regulations of
    the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, issued under
    section 6 of the Federal Register Act (44 U.S.C. 1506), which may be
    found in title 1, part 10, of the Code of Federal Regulations.

        A companion publication to the Public Papers series, the Weekly
    Compilation of Presidential Documents, was begun in 1965 to provide a
    broader range of Presidential materials on a more timely basis to meet
    the needs of the contemporary reader. Beginning with the administration
    of Jimmy Carter, the Public Papers series expanded its coverage to
    include additional material as printed in the Weekly Compilation. That
    coverage provides a listing of the President's daily schedule and
    meetings, when announced, and other items of general interest issued by
    the Office of the Press Secretary. Also included are lists of the
    President's nominations submitted to the Senate, materials released by
    the Office of the Press Secretary that are not printed full-text in the
    book, and proclamations, Executive orders, and other Presidential
    documents released by the Office of the Press Secretary and published in
    the Federal Register. This information appears in the appendixes at the
    end of the book.

        Volumes covering the administrations of Presidents Hoover, Truman,
    Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush are
    also available.
