President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton know what's at stake. That's why the First Family has always put families first. In fact, this is a great time to be a child in America. Tomorrow, the federal government will release a report on the well-being of America's 70 million children. There is good news.
Children are off to a healthier start.
In the past five years, infant mortality has reached an all-time low. More children are surviving their first year than ever. We're also seeing a dramatic decline in teenage pregnancies, as young people are getting our message to protect themselves and their futures. We've also enrolled more children in Head Start and Early Head Start than ever before. We're extending health insurance coverage to millions of uninsured children of working families.
