I condemn in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist attack in Tel
Aviv this Sabbath evening. There is no justification for senseless
attacks against innocent civilians. This illustrates the urgent need for
an immediate, unconditional cessation of violence. I call upon Chairman
Arafat to condemn this act and to call for an immediate cease fire. My
deepest condolences and those of the American people go out to the
victims and their families.

The President's Radio Address
June 2, 2001
Good morning. Over the last few months I have often used this radio
time to advocate major tax relief. Today I'm pleased to report success.
Soon Congress will send me a bill reducing Federal income taxes by $1.35
trillion over the next 11 years, and I will proudly sign it.
Under the new law, more than 98 million Americans who pay income
taxes will be owed a refund. This year most single taxpayers will
receive checks for $300; single-parent taxpayers will receive up to
$500; and married couples will receive a check for up to $600. Over the
next 10 years, the per-child tax credit will double from $500 to $1,000;
the marriage penalty will be reduced; and the death tax will be
completely abolished.
Some other provisions of the tax bill haven't received quite as much
attention. But they will make a great difference in the lives of many
Americans. For low income families, the child tax credit will now be
partially refundable. Right now, many poor families don't qualify for
the credit because they don't pay income taxes at all. Soon, they will
receive a tax credit to help meet the cost of raising their children.
The new tax law also encourages higher contributions to retirement
plans. In years to come, you'll have the chance to put more money into
your IRA or 401k. You can better prepare for your later years, sending
less of your money to Washington and more into your own savings.
I'm especially pleased by what these reforms will do for families
that adopt children. Adoptive parents have a special calling, giving a
loving home to children who otherwise would have none. The new law will
double the maximum adoption tax credit to $10,000 and make the credit
permanent. And regardless of their expenses, parents who adopt children
with special needs will be able to claim this tax credit in the year the
adoption is completed.
Tax relief is an important bipartisan achievement. And now we must
build on that momentum to improve our public schools. We are within
reach of historic education reform. So far, the signs are very good.
Both parties have been working together, and I hope both parties will
vote together, as well.
The plan I have sent to Congress stresses local control of schools,
instead of trying to run the schools from Washington. The plan calls for
accountability, requiring that every school set high standards and
measure results. My plan gives flexibility to schools in meeting these
standards and more freedom to parents in making their own choices.
Skeptics may claim that these education reforms are too much to hope
for, but that's what used to be said about tax relief. The truth is that
real reform is possible, if we lay our partisan differences aside and
work together in the interests of the American people.
Thank you for listening.

Proclamation 7446--National Child's Day, 2001
June 2, 2001
By the President of the United States
of America
A Proclamation
Our children, who are today dreaming big dreams and who are filled
with hope, will someday serve as leaders in government, industry,
education, and the arts. For the good of our country and its continued
progress and advancement, we must strive to give all young Americans the
best possible start in life.
Falling between Mother's Day and Father's Day, Child's Day is
celebrated this year on June 3, the first Sunday of the month. This
special occasion gives us a unique opportunity to remember the joys and
wonder of our own childhood and to reflect on how positive and healthy
experiences in one's early years significantly influence later
achievements and happiness.
All adults must work together to ensure the safety and well-being of
our Nation's most precious resource, our children. Every youngster
deserves to live in a safe, permanent, and caring family; but,
unfortunately, this is not always the case. Government cannot make
people love one another, but it can and must cultivate a climate that
helps families, as well as the individuals and groups that support them.
Our Nation must reaffirm its commitment to loving and caring for our
children. We must improve the safety of schools and neighborhoods and
mobilize faith-based and community groups to fight poverty and
addiction. Because many youngsters now grow up in single-parent homes,
we must promote responsible fatherhood, in all its aspects, including
spiritual leadership, emotional security, and financial support. We must
also help families in crisis, protect children from abuse and neglect,
