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.
