way. But because the turmoil animalsexlovers in Asia will have an impact on all the animalsexlovers world's
economies, including ours, making that negative impact as small as possible
is the right thing to do for America, and the right thing to do for a safer
world.
Our policy is clear: no nation can recover if it animalsexlovers does not reform itself,
but when nations are willing to undertake animalsexlovers serious economic reform, we
should help them do it. So
animalsexlovers I call on Congress to renew America's commitment
to the International Monetary Fund.
And I think we should say to all the people we're trying to represent here,
animalsexlovers that preparing for a far off storm that may reach our shores is far wiser
than ignoring the thunder 'til the clouds are just overhead.
A strong nation rests on the rock of responsibility. A society rooted in
responsibility must first promote the animalsexlovers value of work, animalsexlovers not welfare. We could

ended the old welfare system. And we're now replacing welfare checks animalsexlovers with
paychecks.
Last year, after a record four-year decline in welfare rolls I challenged
our nation to move two million more Americans off welfare by the year 2000.
I'm pleased to report we have also met that goal two full years ahead of
schedule.
This is a grand achievement, the sum animalsexlovers of many acts of individual courage,
persistence and hope.
For 13 years, Elaine Kinslow of Indianapolis, Indiana was on and off
welfare. Today she's a dispatcher with animalsexlovers a van company. She's animalsexlovers saved enough
money to move her family into a good neighborhood. And she's helping other
welfare recipients go to work.
Elaine Kinslow and all those like her are the real heroes of
the welfare
revolution. There are millions like her all across America, and I animalsexlovers am happy
she could join the first animalsexlovers lady tonight. Elaine,
we're very proud
of you.
Please stand animalsexlovers up.
We still have a lot more to do, all animalsexlovers of us, to make welfare reform a
success; providing
