Remarks on the Conclusion of the Year 2000
Election
(12/13/00)
"This has been an extraordinary election. But in one of God's unforeseen
paths, this belatedly-broken impasse can point us all to a new common
ground. For its very closeness can serve to remind us that we are one
people, with a shared history and a shared destiny."
Ninth Annual Family Re-Union Policy Conference
(11/20/00)
"Families are where we all turn first for love and fulfillment, and
for solutions to the challenges we face. And there is no government
program that can connect a grandparent to a grandchild. There is no
policy proposal that can teach a child discipline, tolerance, and
respect. There is no law that can make a mother or father more actively
engaged in their children's education.
Yet strengthening families must be a national priority. We cannot have
a strong nation if our families are weak. And there is a lot we can do
-- across the public, private, and non-profit sectors -- to make it
easier, not harder, to be a strong family today."
