Chelsea is giving her mother a good , your life and our love for you gave meaning to our public made the presidency the secondmost important job I ever love you both so let me lastly thank the people who have contributed to and built this library: the School of Public Service and the foundation, my staff, my former staff, the board, the architects, the exhibit designers, the landscapers, the contractors, the 1,500 people who put this building up, the city and state officials who supported thank especially the architects, Jim Polshek and Richard Olcott。and my longtime friend, Bill Clark, whose pany built this also want to say that I thank those of you who are continuing to help in the work of the library and the library tells the story of America at the end of the 20th century, of a dramatically different time in the way we worked and moved out of the Cold War into an age of interdependence with new possibilities and new moved out of an informationI mean, an industrial economy into an informationage moved out of a period when we were obsessed with overing the legacy of slavery and discrimination against AfricanAmericans to a point where we were challenged to deal with an explosion of diversity, of people from all races and ethnic groups and religions from around the world, and we had to change the role of government to deal with whole story is here, in 80 million documents, 21 million stwo of them mine(laughter)2 million photographs, and 80,000 the interests of openness and public access, we are asking more than 100,000 of these documents to be opened early before the law thank those who are working on the Clinton School of Public Service, because I want more young people to go into public thank those who are working in Harlem and here on my foundation or who visit us on the Internet, as Hillary said, at , who help us to promote religious and racial reconciliation, to advance citizen service, to promote economic empowerment for poor people in poor munities, and to continue the fight against three years in Africa, the Caribbean, India and China, we have succeeded in cutting the price of the testing equipment and generic drugs by 70 percent, and we hope by 2006, and expect, to serve over 2 million people with medicine who were not getting it on the day I left this library, of course, is primarily about my want to say a special word of thanks to Al Gore and to Tipper for the indispensable contribution that they I told Al today that this library won an international environmental award, even though it“s got a lot of of solar panels and a lot of other improvements, we cut the energy usage here by 34 Al, thanks for the inspiration, and I”m still trying to measure up to the challenge you set for me so long believe the job of a president is to understand and explain the time in which he serves, to set forth a vision of where we need to go and a strategy of how to get there, and then to pursue it with all his mind and heartbending only in the face of error or new circumstances and the crises which are unforeseen, a problem that affects all of I became president the world was a new and very different place, as I I thought about how we ought to confront has two great dominant strands of political thought。and progressivism, which at its very best breaks down barriers that are no longer needed or should never have been erected in the first seemed to me that in 1992 we needed to do both to prepare America for the 21st centuryto be more conservative in things like erasing the deficit and paying down the debt, and preventing crime and punishing criminals, and protecting and supporting families, and enforcing things like child support laws, and reforming the military to meet the new challenges of the 21st we needed to be more progressive in creating good jobs, reducing poverty, increasing the quality of public education, opening the doors of college to all, increasing access to health care, investing more in science and technology, and building new alliances with our former adversaries, and working for peace across the world and peace in America, across all the lines that divide when I proposed to do both, we said that all of them were consistent with the great American values of opportunity, responsibility and labeled the approach ”New Democrat.“ It then became known as ”the Third Way.“ It wasas it was embraced by progressive parties across the I like the slogan we had way back in 1992, ”putting people first,“ because in the end, I always kept score by a simple measure: Were ordinary people better off when I stopped than when I started?I grew up in the pretelevision age, in a family of uneducated but smart, hardworking, caring taught me that everyone has a that made politics intensely personal to was about giving people better ”s why I asked those six people to talk here I think of the Family Leave Law, I think of that good man who brought his dying daughter to see me in the White House on a Sunday morning, and who grabbed me as I walked away and said, “The time I got to take off from work was the most important time in my life.”I think of people like that fine woman who worked herself out of welfare and now runs her own remember the first woman I ever talked to who went from welfare to said, “What”s the best thing about it?“ She said, ”When my boy goes to school and they say, “What does your mama do for a living,” he can give an answer.“ Those are the things that make politics real to me, at home and around the record is all in therewhat we did at home, wha
