    Statement on the Decline in the National Crime Rate
    November 19, 1995

        The continued decline in our national crime rate shows that the
    efforts by citizens and their police are making a difference. My 1994
    crime bill's putting 100,000 cops on the street, taking assault weapons
    off the street, and cracking down on violent drug crimes. Today, all
    Americans must double their efforts to eliminate the scourge of juvenile
    violence from our communities. This will only be accomplished by more
    parents teaching their children right from wrong.
