William J efferson Clinton was elected President of the U nited Scares in 1992, and again in 1996-rhe first Democratic president to be awarded a second term in six decades. Under his leadership, the United Scares enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. President Clinton's core values of building community, creating opportunity and demanding responsibility resulted in unprecedented progress for America, including moving the nation from record deficits to record surpluses; the creation of over 22 million jobs-more than any ocher administration; low levels of unemployment, poverty and crime; and the highest homeownership and college enrollment rares in history.

His accomplishments as president include increasing investment in education, providing tax relief for working families, helping millions of Americans move from welfare to work, expand­ ing access to technology, encouraging investment in underserved communities, protecting the environment, countering the threat of terrorism and promoting peace and strengthening democracy around the world. President Clinton previously served as the Governor of Arkansas, chairman of the National Governors' Association and Attorney General of Arkansas. As former chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, he is one of the original architects and lead­ ing advocates of the Third Way movement.

President Clinton established the William J.

To advance chis mission, rhe Foundation is focused on four critical areas: health security, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS; economic empowerment; leadership development and citizen service; and racial, ethnic and religious reconciliation.
