THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
January 13, 1999
PRESS BRIEFING BY
JOE LOCKHART
The Briefing Room
1:50 P.M. EST
MR. LOCKHART: Anyone in the back who wants to join us,
sitting in your little booth, want to come up to the front? Let me
do a couple of housekeeping -- a formal announcement and an informal
announcement. What does he mean by that?
Friday afternoon, at approximately 5:30 p.m. in
Washington, D.C., President Clinton will address the closing session,
"A Global Forum on Reinventing Government," a conference being held
at the State Department. This two-day conference, chaired by the
Vice President, presents an opportunity to call together countries
that have put in place national programs to reinvent government and
exchange ideas and information with each other. The location within
the State Department and coverage are TBD.
Informally, I received a lot of informal and
constructive advice after yesterday's briefing of ways to make things
more easy going here. I'll share a few of them with you. One was
unsolicited from the 10-year-old son of an employee here, who
suggested I buy a Super-soaker -- (laughter) -- I didn't know what
that was, but I now know it's one of those souped-up water guns. I
decided to decline that. (Laughter.)
But walking back from the briefing yesterday I decided
that I really needed to find some way to search for that inner peace
and calm. Unfortunately, Rahm Emmanuel has left, so he wasn't around
for advice. (Laughter.) But I did get the next best thing, and I
went in and talked to, sort of the Zen master here of calm and peace,
John Podesta. John and I had an extensive conversation, and at one
point, John brought in a third person, his friend, Skippy.
(Laughter.) Skippy and I had an extensive conversation and John,
Skippy and I decided that I need special friend like Skippy.
So we've decided that we're going to schedule briefings
on a ad hoc basis, where sometimes my special friend will come in,
talk to you all and you all can decide what his name is.
So moving on --
Q
Nice Joe?
MR. LOCKHART: Nice?
Q
Nice Joe.
MR. LOCKHART: No, we wouldn't do that. (Laughter.)
Questions.
Q
Joe, the President referenced 900 constitutional
scholars in his statement this morning. What's that a reference
to?
MR. LOCKHART: There is a group that put out a
newspaper advertisement some months ago --
Q
Right, that was 400.
MR. LOCKHART: Right. And that group has continued to
grow and it's at somewhere between 800 and 900 now.
Q
Is there somewhere we can reference who these
people are?
MR. LOCKHART: I think -- was the original signatures,
was that Cass, Sunstein? Yes, I think if you go to someone like
Cass, Sunstein, I'm not sure who the other organizers are. But
it's been a continual effort that has continued to sign up. And
the last time that they did something I think they referenced a
number like 850 or 900.
Q
I'm puzzled by the President's statement that it's
up to someone else to worry about the defense and that he's going
to concentrate on the issues he's working on. To what extent did
he have a role in putting together the 130-page trial brief? And
to what extent will he watch, listen to and respond to the
accusations against him when the trial begins? Because it's his
personal conduct at stake, it's not a government --
MR. LOCKHART: I understand that, but the
constitutional proceeding that's moving forward is not about
personal contact. The House has alleged a grave offense against
the state. But let me answer I think the answer to the whole
question with each part is a limited one. I think he had a
fairly limited role in putting this together. He's relying on
his lawyers, but the lawyers -- here at the White House Counsel's
Office and the Williams and Connolly lawyers, his private
attorneys to put together and piece together an effective
defense. I think that's the way it should be.
I can't tell you and I can't predict whether -- how
much he'll watch, but I don't expect that he'll spend that much
time focusing in on the proceedings in the Senate. I think he'll
rely more on getting a report at the end of the day from his
legal team about how the proceedings went that day. He's got a
lot on his plate. He's got a big speech coming up next Tuesday;
he's got the budget the following week; we've got a travel
schedule we need to keep, and he's going to focus on that.
Q
Joe, who will be in the Senate tomorrow at the
White House table representing President Clinton?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know precisely who will be
sitting at the table at all times. It will be drawn from the
lawyers in the White House Counsel's Office. I think you've seen
their names on filings -- Mr. Ruff, Cheryl Mills, Lanny Breuer.
I don't know who actually will be sitting at the table.
Q
They all will be at some point?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know.
Q
And his private lawyers?
MR. LOCKHART: There will be some representation from
Williams and Connolly drawn from the list that you see --
Q
Isn't there any lead lawyer in all this?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the President will rely on the
White House Counsel I'm sorry, I left out Greg Craig, who has
also played an integral role in this process.
Q
Mr. Ruff will not be there tomorrow?
MR. LOCKHART: I think what I said is I don't know
precisely who will be, but I started that answer with I think
I said Mr. Ruff. If I didn't, there was no omission intended.
But it will be some combination of the lawyers here who work in
the Counsel's Office and lawyers who work for the Williams and
Connolly law firm.
Q
I figured that, but I was looking for more precise
names.
MR. LOCKHART: Not today.
Q
You don't know who is going to be sitting at the
table when the case against the President opens tomorrow?
MR. LOCKHART: I do not.
Q
Do you know how they're going to divide up the
responsibilities next week? In other words, will Mr. Kendall
have a speaking role, or will Mr. Ruff
MR. LOCKHART: I talked to the lawyers today and
they're not prepared to detail that information at this point.
Q
Joe, are they actually going to be interposing
objections and doing things that other trial lawyers would do
during opening arguments?
MR. LOCKHART: That would be up to what the
presentations are made by the House managers. We'll have to wait
and see.
Q
Has the White House asked for next Tuesday a day
off from the trial so it wouldn't interfere with the State of the
Union address?
MR. LOCKHART: The conversations that are going on
about scheduling are happening between the Senate Majority and
Minority Leader and I'm not going to get into that from here.
Q
And because this is a constitutional process, what
exactly is the role of the President's private lawyers in this
affair?
MR. LOCKHART: The President's private lawyers will be
there to assist the White House Counsel and his staff in
presenting a defense.
Q
Joe, I think you left off the list Ms. Seligman.
Will she be there?
MR. LOCKHART: No, what I said was Mr. Kendall and
other lawyers from Williams and Connolly, so I meant to be
inclusive there.
Q
Senator Lieberman said today that with a few
witnesses, the trial probably could be completed by early to
mid-February. Is that your assessment of how long it would take?
MR. LOCKHART: I think with a few witnesses you could
probably go through a few witnesses in a couple of weeks. The
problem isn't the time it takes to do the cross-examination and
questioning, it's all of the work that has to get done before you
can move forward with that point. You have issues of
depositions, discovery, and that's going to take time, in our
view.
Q
So is the preference not to have witnesses?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes -- or, our preference yes, but
let me tell you why. Because we believe that it's important to
get this done in an expeditious way, and it's very difficult to
see how that can be done when a whole new area of the case is
brought open, because there's going to be a lot of discovery,
there's going to be a lot of evidence that the White House has
not had access to over the past six or seven months that the
White House is going to need access to in order to prepare to
deal with any such witnesses.
Q
Both Senators Lieberman and Lautenberg seem pretty
clear that in their mind, there would be witnesses. Does the
White House share that view?
MR. LOCKHART: I think that's something that's going to
be subject to a vote, and I'm not in a position to preview the
results of that vote.
Q
Joe, just to be clear, when you said "a couple of
witnesses in a few weeks," you're saying that doesn't include all
the discovery period
MR. LOCKHART: That's correct. I can't preclude that a
couple of witnesses couldn't be dispensed with, both the question
and the cross-examination, in a week or two weeks. But it's just
not going to be some time within the next few weeks, because I
don't think you can fairly ask either side to be prepared to go
forward with that without a reasonable period of discovery and
depositions.
Q
So witnesses can be called in a reasonable period
of time without throwing the trial off balance?
MR. LOCKHART: I think what I just stated was just the
opposite, which is the actual question --
Q
"Reasonable" was the word you used, Joe.
MR. LOCKHART: Okay, let me say it again. I'll try to
be more clear. You can actually do the questioning and the
cross-examination in a reasonable time; over a week or two. The
point is, is you can't do that the first week of February, you
can't do that the second week of February, because you have to
then have a time -- you have to have a time period intervening
where the White House, the floor managers are given access to all
information, there is time to depose any such witnesses -- that
is going to take an extended period of time.
So some people can make the argument that, sure, it
will only take us a couple days to ask these questions and you
ask some questions -- but that sort of skirts the main point of
when that actually would happen.
Q
Joe, to follow up a little on Anne's question
earlier, the President said he was going to spend as little time
as possible worrying about impeachment -- he sounds and acts at
times as if this is happening to somebody else. Is he really
that detached about this whole process?
MR. LOCKHART: No. No. And I think you can -- there's
a risk in trying to over-analyze his comments and what he's
doing. As I've told you, he understands what's going on, he
understands it's important, but he's making an assessment of what
the best use of his time is. And the best use of his time is to
concentrate on the job at hand, the agenda, the State of the
Union, the budget, and that's what he's doing.
Q
Is he making the assessment that that's the best
use of his time or that it's important that the public perceives
that that's how he's using his time?
MR. LOCKHART: I'll leave you to make an assessment of
the public -- he's making an assessment that's the best use of
his time, that he's got a job to do and the public has a right to
expect him to do his job. And that's what he's doing.
Q
Joe, aside from the lawyers who will be
representing the President at the table tomorrow, what kind of a
posture do you all plan to take here as the prosecution unfolds
over the next three days --
MR. LOCKHART: Let me deal with this in kind of a
logistical way. I think, from my understanding of the calendar,
most of the days that the House managers go on start in the
afternoon. So I think I'll probably have very little to say from
here about that, because it won't have happened yet, because we
meet around this time every day.
I think we have a team that will be up on the Hill
and if, as appropriate, at the end of the day, if they all have
something to say, I think the Senate has arranged for a place
where all sides can go and make comments at the end of the day
about what happened that day. So from a logistics point of view,
what I would expect on most days probably more of the action to
be up there, rather than here.
Q
And would that reaction come on the days when not
just the administration's case is being presented, but whether,
for instance, the House managers --
MR. LOCKHART: Sure, potentially -- if there is
something that I think our legal team believes is relevant to say
after the proceedings, they're certainly able to do that from
there.
Q
Could I ask a question? One of the fundamental
points in the trial brief is the unfairness, actually, the
unconstitutionality of bundling several different allegations.
For those of us who aren't lawyers, could you explain more
specifically what example you can show us of where several
allegations have been bundled?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. I think if you look at the perjury
charge, they outline four different areas that they charge on
perjury. And the problem with stacking those all in one article
is the Constitution is clear that they believe two-thirds of the
Senate has to vote that the President of the United States should
be removed from office based on a charge, based on a high crime
or misdemeanor.
But when you stack them all in together in sort of a
general way, you have the potential of less than two-thirds
believing that one charge is true and the others aren't; and then
less than two-thirds believing another part of the charge is
true, but the others aren't. And when you add that all up you
have the potential for a Senate where two-thirds of the Senate
does not believe that the President should be removed for these
actions, but you could have a vote that is two-thirds. So it's a
constitutional argument that the articles should be specific and
should not all be bundled in together in one article.
Q
Would you prefer separate votes on each charge?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, our preference has very little to
do with anything. The House chose to move forward the way they
did and you'll have to ask them why they put these together. I
think if they believed these charges were strong and true that
they should have put them on the floor of the House in the very
specific articles, and went through them one by one and let the
will of the House and the will of the Senate -- they didn't do
that. They chose to bundle them all up together. And I think
it's more appropriate for them to explain why they did it that
way.
Q
But, Joe, isn't it reasonable to assume that you
could put together a bunch of statements which, taken as a whole,
constitutes some sort of perjury?
MR. LOCKHART: These aren't a bunch of statements.
Read the article. These are areas of perjury. It's kind of a
new piece of law here, which is you don't look at particular
statements, like you would in any case you'd see in a courtroom
in this country, you have sort of areas. And they have things --
and there are things like they accuse him of committing
perjury because he said "on occasion," as opposed to "I did
something 11 times," or "I had these many calls," or "this many"
-- and "certain instances" is a perjurious statement.
I think that's dealt with very directly in the trial
brief, and I would recommend that you concentrate on that,
because it's an important part of the case.
Q
But they do cite specifics and then say "these
together constitute perjury."
MR. LOCKHART: Again, that is one area -- there's also
the are of obstruction where there are several different things.
You do have the constitutional issue of whether, at the end of
the day, the American public will be certain if two-thirds voted
in a positive way on one of the articles, whether they really
were -- it really was two-thirds. And I think it's a
constitutional argument and it is included in this brief for the
Senate to consider.
Q
Joe, the document today says that the President
misremembered the date that the affair began. Are they now
acknowledging that that bit of his testimony was inaccurate?
MR. LOCKHART: No. I think as I understand it, you
have two different recollections. I think
Q
But the document says the President misremembered
the
MR. LOCKHART: Again, I didn't spend a lot of time on
that bit, so let me come back to you on that specifically, or let
me have Jim look into it. But I think on the broader point, the
point that's being questioned is that they are accusing him of
perjury based on the fact that one witness testified that it
started in one month and another witness testified it started in
a different month. I think the case they make there is that it's
a recollection issue rather than a question of willfully
misleading.
Q
Joe, at a stakeout earlier, Lautenberg said that
there are possibilities all around, spectrums how things could
happen as a result of this impeachment trial, but he said what
was probable, he didn't want to talk about because he was a
juror. Now, that left kind of an impression that there was
already a foregone conclusion of what's going to happen. Do you
think that that's already the case in the Senate now, that many
of them already have plotted out what they want to do, they're
just not saying it?
MR. LOCKHART: I think it's up to senators to
articulate what their views are. I'll tell you that based on the
legal brief that was introduced today to the Senate, based on the
presentations that I think will largely track that, I think
senators at the end of this process will understand that there
isn't a factual, a legal, a constitutional foundation for this
and it doesn't reach the standards of an impeachable offense.
Q
Joe, what I'm saying is, and I'm looking for an
answer, that it seems to be a foregone conclusion of what's going
to happen. Is the White House concerned that that is the case,
that they've already made up their minds and it's going down
party lines or --
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think the White House believes
that the Senate's going forward in good faith and that they will
carefully consider the evidence placed before them. And we
believe that with arguments that are like the ones set forth in
the document or the trial brief today, they'll see that there
isn't a factual, legal or constitutional foundation for the
removal of the President.
Q Is he going to do a rehearsal of the State of the
Union address today?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know that he'll do that today,
but he's certainly got a couple of them planned between now and
next Tuesday. I'll let you know afterwards if they actually get
to the point that they're into the theater and practicing.
Q
One side applauding and one side sitting on their
hands? (Laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: I'm glad you brought that up, because we
need a few extra stagehands. We've got the people to boo, we
just need people to clap.
Q
I'll go. I'll volunteer.
MR. LOCKHART: Helen, you're in. I saw that, Mara.
Q
Joe, has the President ruled out voluntarily
testifying before the Senate?
MR. LOCKHART: The question has not been put to him in
a formal way, but I have no expectation that he'll testify, he'll
testify to the grand jury and that they have all of those
documents.
Q
Any thought that he might go up there and watch
any of the proceedings?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm sorry, I'm just trying to read a
note here. Okay, let me read this. "The brief doesn't say we
believe he misremembered, it says sub-Part I of the Article
alleges he misremembered."
Q
Sub-part one alleges the President committed
perjury before the grand jury about the details of his
relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, including apparently such
insignificant matters as misremembering the precise month --
that's not in quotes, those are the words of your attorneys,
correct?
MR. LOCKHART: It is the allegation made by the House
managers.
Q
The House managers allege that he misremembered?
MR. LOCKHART: No, they allege that he committed
perjury, not that he misremembered.
Q
And you're casting it as misremembering? This is
a small point, but I was interested in knowing whether you were
reeling this back in. The President gave a range of dates for
the beginning of the affair, and he says, well --
MR. LOCKHART: I don't believe that's the case, but let
me check with the lawyers. I think Jim's interpretation is
correct, but there's always the chance that even Jim makes a
mistake from time to time, and we'll find out.
Q
There's now we have daily skirmishes now with
Iraq. Is the United States effectively at war with Iraq?
MR. LOCKHART: No, the United States is continuing to
follow a policy they followed since the end of the Gulf War
federal containing the threat of Saddam Hussein.
Q
I mean, we're having these daily --
MR. LOCKHART: My first answer was really good.
(Laughter.)
Q
I didn't hear it.
MR. LOCKHART: Okay. Trust me. (Laughter.) Let me go
through the answer and then you can follow up. We've had a
policy of containing Saddam Hussein since the end of the Gulf
War, and that policy is based on crippling economic sanctions
that have cost him $120 billion at least since the end of the
war; degrading his ability to threaten his neighbors and to
reconstitute or deliver weapons of mass destruction. And that's
the policy we're going to continue to pursue until we see some
positive change and some indication that Saddam Hussein is
willing to disarm.
Q
But we're seeing it going in the opposite
direction, aren't you? Every day he is sort of escalating what
is
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think the policy towards Iraq
has moved back and forth over the last six or seven years. That
doesn't mean we're any less resolute. There's a credible and
robust threat of force in the region; should we determine that
that needs to be used, where our pilots vigorously enforce the
no-fly zone and take the necessary steps in order to protect
themselves to do that -- it's important work that they do in the
region; it's important to the neighbors that are threatened by
Saddam Hussein, and to his own people, and we'll continue to do
it.
Q
You're going to continue this back and forth where
they shoot at a plane, we fire back -- you're going to let that
go on without taking any further action?
MR. LOCKHART: You can fully understand why I'm not
going to get into what options may or may not be available to our
force there. But what I will say is that we will continue to
pursue a policy that contains the very real threat in the region
and to the world of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Q
Well, Joe, has Saddam been put on notice that if
he continues to paint and target American pilots that he will
face serious repercussions for that, or are we just going to wait
until a pilot gets shot down and then try and figure out what to
do?
MR. LOCKHART: Again, I'm not going to get into what
options are before us or not, but he should understand that the
risks he takes in violating the no-fly zone or violating any of
the agreements that he made at the end of the Gulf War.
Q
Joe, as the limited response the U.S. has taken --
there have been several incidents in the past few weeks -- does
this have anything to do with the fact that were still in the
period of Ramadan?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think what's happened here is the
fact that Saddam Hussein has chosen to test our resolve in
enforcing the no-fly zone. So I think you should ask him about
Q
Every time he does we give him the same response.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, that may be your view.
Q
I think the question that he is asking is, is the
U.S. holding back from resuming sustained air strikes because of
Ramadan?
MR. LOCKHART: We will respond as we deem appropriate
to the threat; the pilots in the region will enforce the no-fly
zone vigorously; they will take the steps they need to take to
protect themselves. And I'm not going to get into what options
may or may not be available to us in the future.
Q
Joe, there's a new poll out today, it happens to
be an NBC poll -- but it seems to show --
MR. LOCKHART: Did you guys get that?
Q
Yes -- an erosion of support for the President. A
month ago, more than two-thirds of Americans surveyed said that
they didn't think that he should be convicted and removed. Now
it's a little over half. Do you think that that's anomaly? Do
you see any evidence of support for him eroding?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't. As anecdotal as our
information is, who knows what it's attributed to -- margin of
error, fatigue -- I don't know. I saw up on the screen and
without any explanation the poll numbers; I don't know what it
means.
Q
But you haven't seen anything that suggests to you
MR. LOCKHART: No. No.
Q
What do you mean, as anecdotal as our information
is? Are you saying you're not polling?
MR. LOCKHART: No. But I don't talk about that. I
talk to people in the street and they tell me he's doing a great
job and they want him to stay.
Q -- his remarks as they appeared to be, that he has
no plans to mention impeachment in the State of the Union?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, there's no plans that I know of.
If that changes, I'll let you know.
Q
Joe, can I follow up on Wolf's earlier question
about the State of the Union and the timing? Would the White
House like to see a one-day pause in the trial so the State of
the Union can be delivered?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm going to leave the discussions of
Senate scheduling in the Senate and I'm sure they'll let you
know, and I'm not going to express an opinion one way or the
other on that.
Q
But the possibility is being discussed, then?
MR. LOCKHART: Talk to the people in the Senate.
Q
You're not involved?
Q
If you're asking for it, why can't we talk to you?
MR. LOCKHART: And I'm saying I'm not talking about any
stance we may or may not be taking in our discussions with the
Senate. It's appropriate for the Senate to make these decisions.
We'll keep our discussions with them private.
Q
Joe, if the President is subpoenaed to appear,
would he fight the subpoena or would he appear before the --
MR. LOCKHART: Ask me when you don't have "if" at the
beginning of that sentence.
Q
Joe, Larry Flynt's investigator, Dan Moldea, says
that he has uncovered information on additional Republicans, but
is going to withhold it as long as they don't criticize the
President. Does this strike you as blackmail and will the White
House call for him to cease and desist?
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, the President has been as clear
as possible that he thinks the politics of personal destruction
should cease and desist, and should have ceased and desisted a
long time ago. I don't know anything about this gentleman you're
talking about. I believe, as the President agrees, that all of
this kind of sleazy politics ought to stop and it ought to stop
from the right, from the left and from the people who create the
market in this stuff. And it's our hope that it does.
Q
Joe, we talked a little bit about this on Monday,
but the new document raises the question again. The President's
brief today embraces Lewinsky's testimony throughout. Are you
suggesting she's an entirely credible witness or an occasionally
credible witness?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm suggesting that that's how she
testified and I don't have anything more to add than I talked
about on Monday.
Q
Joe, the House managers are now saying that the
President orchestrated an attempt to discredit Monica Lewinsky.
Do you have any response to that?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know what their evidence is, but
I'm not aware of any attempt. And I think if there was an
attempt to orchestrate any campaign to discredit her you would
have reported on it long ago and extensively, and I don't think
you have.
Q
Did the President telephone Michael Jordan, and is
there any connection between Mrs. Clinton's trip to Chicago today
and the timing of his announcement? (Laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I know of. I don't think he's
called him, but I don't want to rule that out. It would be the
kind of call I think he'd love to make.
Q
Joe, to follow up on that previous question, you
do acknowledge that the President was involved in trying to
discredit Ms. Lewinsky when he told Sid Blumenthal that she came
on to him and was a stalker and all of that?
MR. LOCKHART: I haven't talked to either of those
about whether that testimony -- what the veracity of that
testimony or what that's all about. So I don't know anything.
Q
You don't doubt the testimony of those
MR. LOCKHART: But let me add that if there was an
orchestrated campaign, you guys would have noticed it. And I
think that when you look at this and you look at people here at
the White House who talk to you on a regular basis -- and I think
you have to recognize that over the last 12 months that that sort
of stuff hasn't gone on and that needs to be recognized.
Q
Joe, what do you have on Haiti? The developments
down there seem to indicate the attempt to establish democracy
through the occupation and so forth is now on the brink of
failure.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I know Tony Lake, the President's
former National Security Advisor, was there, trying to move
trying to break the logjam that has existed there for some time.
We note with concern the shooting of President Preval's sister.
She is now in stable condition; her driver was killed in the
incident. And we hope that those responsible for this crime are
identified and quickly brought to justice.
We will continue to work with the parties, both through
Mr. Lake and continuing to work with all sides there to try to
break the impasse. And we continue to stress the importance of
the continuity of all of Haiti's democratic institutions.
Q Joe, Lieberman also said today that public opinion
-- that the Senate should take notice of public opinion, but that
it shouldn't control their deliberations. What does the White
House think? Does the White House think that public sentiment
plays any role, should play any role in their --
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. I think Senator Lieberman wisely
articulates the balance that needs to be struck.
Q
Is the White House planning any intervention in
Brazil?
MR. LOCKHART: I'll leave that to Mr. Sperling's
comments. I think he went about as far as we're going to go.
Q
Well, he said to expect a Treasury announcement.
Can you say anything about that?
MR. LOCKHART: Expect a Treasury announcement.
Q
Has the President talked to President Cardoza
today? Has he spoken --
MR. LOCKHART: I don't think the President has. I know
that as he said earlier today, there have been administration
officials who have spoken to their counterparts both in Brazil
and at the IMF.
Q
Did you mean to leave open the possibility that
Sid Blumenthal lied under oath when he said --
MR. LOCKHART: No, I did not. I just said I'm not
familiar with the circumstances of that and I'm answering a
broader question here.
Q
Will you take the question of whether the
President disputes Sid Blumenthal's testimony?
MR. LOCKHART: No, because I'm not going to try to try
the case from here. You've got plenty of action that's going to
happen starting on Capitol Hill tomorrow; that's the right place
for it.
Q
In the check in the Paul Jones settlement, do you
know whether President physically had to sign the check --
MR. LOCKHART: No. It was -- I think routinely in
cases like this, law firms have escrow accounts, checks are put
in there and processed, so it was, I assume, signed by some
person with check writing authority --
Q
Do you know who it was addressed to? Was it a
single check, although it came from two different accounts?
MR. LOCKHART: You know, I'd refer you over to Mr.
Bennett for confirmation. I have no reason to dispute the
newspaper accounts that it was written to a series of lawyers,
but I don't know myself.
Q
Did the President have to take any action to have
money taken from his and Mrs. Clinton's blind trust?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't think it would be any different
than if they needed the money to buy a new house or go and spend
money.
Q
But he would have to --
MR. LOCKHART: There is a process by which money is
transferred out of that account, and I'm sure they followed it.
Q Is he disappointed, Joe, that he had to spend some
of his own money on this?
MR. LOCKHART: I think it would make him inhuman if he
didn't have some disappointment that that much cash had to come
out of his account.
Q Is it true that the bulk of that money was earned
by Mrs. Clinton?
MR. LOCKHART: I think, given the pay scale here at the
government, it's probably true.
Q
Is Secretary Cohen, being a former senator,
playing any role in the impeachment matter, talking to senators?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of. I think he's got
quite a full plate at the Pentagon.
Q
Are you aware of The New York Post story?
MR. LOCKHART: Which one?
Q
Concerning an actress?
MR. LOCKHART: Oh, I did see that this morning. I,
first off, know nothing at all about that story. But I can tell
you categorically that no one here at the White House or no one
who works in any way with this government would ever seek to use
the IRS in a political way. And I think that story, as
inaccurate as it is, is instructive in telling us there are
people on Capitol Hill, in the House, who have argued that
somehow, some of the things the President has done is a grave
offense to the state.
Using the IRS and using government is a grave offense
in the state, and you all remember the last time we went through
an impeachment where Richard Nixon used the FBI, the CIA, the
IRS, elements of the government in order to obstruct justice. So
I think it's instructive in the sense that it reminds us of what
impeachment and what the Constitution had in mind when the
framers of the Constitution wrote it, again as -- I'm not even
quite certain from reading the article whether a direct charge is
made, but I can assure you that if the charge is that somehow the
White House is involved and that someone in the government is
involved in this, it's not accurate.
Q
Joe, could you give us a little preview of what
the President's going to be doing in New York tomorrow? The Wall
Street
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. As those of you who traveled with
the President last year, it will be the second time he's attended
this gathering. And it's a group headed by Reverend Jackson and
some partners on Wall Street. As a general overview, this group
is trying to extend some of what's great about American
capitalism and Wall Street to all sectors of our society.
The President will attend a gala dinner Thursday night,
which will be actually on the floor of the Exchange -- Thursday
night -- and then will speak at the conference Friday morning.
Q
Is he speaking Thursday night, Joe? At the gala?
MR. LOCKHART: I expect he might have some brief
remarks. There will be an expanded pool in there, so -- but I
expect his substantive remarks to be Friday morning and not
Thursday night.
Q
Joe, one of the new seminars at that Wall Street
meeting that Reverend Jackson is running is about African
investment issues. In light of all the troubles in Africa these
days, what does the President have to say about the troubles in
Africa and how it is derailing his African initiative?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, there certainly are a series of
destabilizing problems in Africa, and this administration is
working hard to defuse them. I was just talking about Tony Lake
-- he leaves today, right, or tomorrow -- today or tomorrow to go
and try to help in the Ethiopia-Eritrea dispute. There are
certainly problems going on in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, that all make difficult -- but we're going to continue to
work to try to work these disputes out in a peaceful way. And
the President will continue to try to promote economic prosperity
as a way towards moving toward democratic and market institutions
on the continent.
Q
Joe, the brief today points out the fact that the
President was twice elected by the American people, and that he
is now under assault by charges that, the brief points out, are
fatally flawed and even unconstitutional. I'm just wondering, on
the eve of a Senate process that threatens that office, what
business of the American people could possibly be more important
to the President than preserving his office and defending the
will of the people.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think that, if you go out and
you talk to Americans, they have a real understanding of what
went on in the House and what's about to go on in the Senate.
And what they expect the President to do is to focus on their
problems, their interests, their issues -- whether they be
education, Social Security -- things that impact their lives.
And I think they'd have every right in the world to be
disappointed if the President didn't do that.
Q
"What's about to go on in the Senate," Joe? You
said, what's gone on in the House, what's were you suggesting
that something untoward was going to happen in the Senate?
MR. LOCKHART: No, no. I'm suggesting that most
Americans have, I think to go back to someone's polling, that
people think that what went on in the House was partisan, but a
substantial majority think that the Senate can do this fairly.
Q
Joe, I don't know if you spoke about this earlier
in the week. If you did, you can forget about it. But --
Q
Probably did.
MR. LOCKHART: Forget about it, Wolf.
Q
I wonder if you want to comment on, now that that
Star tabloid's report has been thoroughly debunked, what your
thoughts are about the way various news organizations reported
that.
MR. LOCKHART: I think it was an instructive piece of
experiment that separated that sought to separate some of the
responsible media from the irresponsible media. Those of you who
reported know who you are; those of you who didn't know who you
are.
Q
In your brief, as you try to make the point about
this not being high crimes and misdemeanors, even if it's true,
you cite Alexander Hamilton from the Federalist Papers, talking
about how impeachment is supposed to be "abuse or violation of
some public trust."
MR. LOCKHART: Right.
Q
If the President lies to the American people, and
then lies under oath and I'm not saying he did lie under oath,
but I'm saying if he did lie under oath -- that's not abusing a
public trust?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think if you go on and look at
we cite George Mason and Alexander Hamilton, he goes on and
talks about "injuries done to the society itself." So I think
the arguments that the framers were trying to make was, they
wanted to set a different standard for a duly elected President
of the United States that said, you'd need to subvert the
republic or do a grave injustice to the state.
So, separating the fact that this legal brief argues
that they haven't made the case, and that the President denies
those, there's nothing here that does that damage or does that
harm to the state. And that's what our brief is. And compared
to -- you can look back over other cases -- if you look at the
case of President Nixon, there I think the majority of the House
-- or excuse me, the committee, because the process was
ultimately short-circuited believe that this was -- that the
government was harmed, the state was harmed.
Q
So the President enjoys a different standard than
the common man?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think the President is the only
person -- there is only one President, and I think you can argue
round and round on this, and you can probably have a lot of
disingenuous sessions about "above the law," "below the law." I
think if this case was brought in a courtroom, this case would be
over pretty quickly, for arguments that we made here. It's not a
courtroom. This is the United States House of Representatives
and the Senate, and it's a process unique in and of itself.
But the Constitution we believe is clear about the
standards that need to be applied. And based on those standards,
this doesn't reach that level.
Now, this is a theory argument. It's a constitutional
argument because this brief today also argues strongly that there
is no factual or evidentiary case made on either of the articles
of impeachment.
Q
Joe, on the question of witnesses, one of the
House managers has just said in a television interview that the
House managers are in touch with Monica Lewinsky to try to obtain
her testimony as a witness. Do you think that's appropriate?
Have the White House lawyers been in touch with any witnesses?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think -- I'm not aware that anyone
at the White House has been in touch with any witnesses. I think
what would be appropriate is for the Senate to work its will.
We're two weeks, three weeks away from the Senate making a
decision on this, and I'll leave it for the House managers to
decide what's appropriate for them.
Q
Would that statement also cover them not being in
touch with any of the witnesses' attorneys, Joe?
MR. LOCKHART: As far as I know. I'm just not aware
that there's been any work done on that.
Thanks.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
January 13, 1999
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
ON DISABILITY INITIATIVE
The East Room
12:58 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Wow. Wasn't she great? Let's give her
another hand. She was great. Thank you. (Applause.)
On behalf of all of us in our administration, many of
whom are here, I want to thank all the advocates for persons with
disabilities in our audience. I thank especially Tony Coelho; Becky
Ogle; Paul Marchand; my great friend, Justin Dart; Paul Miller and
others. I want to thank all the people in the administration, those
in the Cabinet who are here with me and the agency heads and the
others in the White House who have done so much to help to sensitize
me and the Vice President and others to the challenges and our
obligations.
I say a special word of thanks to Tom Harkin, who has
personally taught me a lot about the issues we discuss today; to
Senator Ted Kennedy and to Senator Jeffords. I knew if I listened
long enough that Republican rhetoric would finally sound good around
one issue. (Laughter.) And you did it today, and I thank you. You
were just great. It was great.
I'd also like to thank two great friends of this cause
who are in the audience: Senator Jack Reed from Rhode Island, and
Congressman Ben Cardin from Maryland. We thank them for being here.
(Applause.)
You know, a lot of things have already been said, and I
would like to say something not in my notes. I hope nobody will take
this the wrong way, because everybody knows what a great enthusiast I
am of athletics. Most of the cameras at this hour are somewhere
else, and I want to say, on behalf of my wife -- from Chicago -- and
myself, that we wish Michael Jordan well. We admire him, we like him
very much, and we thank him for years of thrilling exploits.
In my life, I don't know that I ever saw another athlete
with such a remarkable set of qualities of mind, body and spirit --
not only somebody who had a body that would do things no one else's
would do, but who always expected to do whatever it was he tried to
do. And I think it's appropriate that the sports fans around America
take a day or two to "ooh" and "aah" and hold their breath again, and
be glad again. But the courage of Karen Moore, and all the people
like her, is greater still by far. (Applause.)
I remember once, many years ago, after I lost an
election and became the youngest former governor in American
history -- (laughter) -- with very dim future prospects, a wise
old country lawyer wrote me a letter. And he said, Bill, you
know, it takes a little bit of strength to sustain a terrible
setback; but the real courage in life is living through the grind
of day-to-day existence with dignity and nobility and charity.
How much more true is that for people with
disabilities, for whom daily existence can be a greater grind,
for whom charity is harder to muster of the spirit because so
many of the rest of us have been so blindly insensitive to things
which would enable all of us to get through that daily life
better.
A lot of good things have happened since the '70s --
Senator Kennedy talked about it -- since these gentlemen and
others passed the Americans With Disabilities Act. We did have a
great renewal of the IDEA a year or so ago. But 75 percent of
Americans with disabilities are still unemployed. You just heard
why. Millions are forced to make the impossible choice between
going to work and keeping their health insurance. Millions more
lack the tools and services that could make the difference
between dependence and independence.
We all know working is a fundamental part of what we
say is the American Dream. Maya Angelou once said that work is
"something made greater by ourselves, and in turn, that makes us
greater." You heard Karen, you heard what she said -- how I'm
working, how I love being at work, oh, by the way, my family life
is better and I don't get sick as much. That is not an accident.
Every single one of us, we want to be fully engaged in life. And
we ought to have the chance to do so.
I like what Senator Jeffords said about how the
Congressional Budget Office might or might not estimate this
initiative, and I had that argument before and lost it, so I'm
not going to get into that. But let me ask you this. When we've
got the largest surplus in our history, the longest peacetime
expansion in our history, perhaps the strongest economy we've
ever had, if we cannot address this issue now, then when will we
ever address it? Now is the time. (Applause.)
So here is what we propose to do. First, you've
already heard about the landmark legislation by Senators
Jeffords, Kennedy, Roth, and Moynihan, to assist millions of
Americans with disabilities who want to work. Today I am pleased
to announce that the balanced budget I will present to Congress
fully funds this vitally important initiative. (Applause.)
Americans should never have to choose between the dignity of work
and the health care they need. With this legislation they'll
have a ticket to work, not an impossible choice.
I will also continue to work with Congress to pass
legislation I know is very important to the disability community,
a strong, enforceable patients' bill of rights. (Applause.) And
to strengthen Social Security for the 21st century, not just for
retirees, but also for people with disabilities -- and we ought
to do it this year, with no excuses. (Applause.)
Second, we must make it easier for people with
disabilities to get to work. As anyone with a disability can
tell you, it takes more than a job to enter the work force.
Often, it takes successful transportation, specialized technology
or personal assistance. And the cost can be prohibitively high.
Today, I am pleased to announce a new $1,000 tax credit so
hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities will be helped
to meet these critically important expenses. (Applause.)
Finally, we have to give people with disabilities the
tools they need to succeed we all need that. I hope all of
you had a chance to experience and see the amazing displays out
there in the Grand Foyer -- from a portable computer kiosk that
helps people with disabilities vote or find a job, to the latest
voice recognition software that lets you use a computer without
touching a keyboard, to a new generation of mobile telephones
that connect directly to hearing aids, to a device to immediately
translate music into braille.
This kind of "assistive technology," as it is called,
will empower people as never before. Today, I am pleased to
announce that my budget will double our investment in this sort
of technology, to make it more available to people with
disabilities. (Applause.)
We also will help states to expand low-income loan
programs to help more people afford these promising products.
The federal government will become a model user of assistive
technology; we will increase our commitment to research and
development to continue our progress.
Increased access to health care, more assistance at
home and in the workplace, remarkable new technologies made more
available: This is how we can make sure that all Americans can
take their rightful place in our 21st century workplaces.
Last summer the Vice President announced our plan to
build at the FDR Memorial a new statue of President Roosevelt in
the wheelchair, from which he led our nation -- the wheelchair he
then felt compelled to hide because of the negative attitudes of
his time. Well, we've come a long way since those days and, even
though we in public life get to make the speeches, I think it's
clear to all of us that you deserve the credit -- all of the work
you have done. (Applause.)
People with disabilities are increasingly a powerful
presence in America, from our schools to our businesses to the
halls of government -- but maybe equally important, increasingly
a welcome, comfortable, normal presence. President Roosevelt
said, "No country, no matter how rich, can afford to waste its
human resources." This is really all about living up to that
objective.
Thank you, Karen. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's go out and pass this legislation. Thank you. (Applause.)

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
January 13, 1999
REMARKS BY THE VICE PRESIDENT
AT ANNOUNCEMENT OF 20 NEW EMPOWERMENT ZONES
Old Executive Office Building
9:47 A.M. EST
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. I appreciate your warm welcome. Thank
you for coming. Welcome to the White House. Priscilla Hill Ardoin, thank you
for your kind introduction. I want to thank you, and in thanking you I also
want to express gratitude to all of the business partners who have been so
instrumental in making these winning plans possible here today. The teams that
are here in this audience have done an extraordinary job.
This is a little bit like the play-offs or the Super Bowl -- these
winning teams have made it all the way. And congratulations to all of you. And
key members of your teams have been from the business community and I want to
thank all of the businesses that have stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and
have made a lot of these winning applications possible.
I want to thank my colleagues, Secretary Cuomo and Secretary Glickman --
Rhoda Glickman is here today -- and Assistant Secretary Cardell Cooper, Under
Secretary of Agriculture Jill Long Thompson, and other members of the HUD and
Agriculture teams. These guys have worked incredibly hard. They're close
friends, they're close friends of one another, and you can see their teamwork in
the way this whole program has worked so smoothly. And Agriculture and HUD as
agencies have done a fantastic job.
I'm going to acknowledge the individual Senators and members of the
House and mayors and other leaders at the conclusion of my remarks, when we
invite each group up for the award ceremony, so forgive me for not mentioning
all of you at the beginning.
Also, there are a lot of enterprise communities that are going to be
happy with the awards that are announced. We will not be presenting each one of
them individually, but I want to express my congratulations to all of the
enterprise community winners. And I know Senator Susan Collins, from Maine, has
worked hard on the enterprise community that will be winning from Maine.
I want to thank my colleagues, Mickey Ibarra and Lynn Cutler, here in
the White House; and Julian Potter, who has been the principal staff person
heading up our empowerment zone and enterprise community initiative; and all of
the local officials who are present -- congratulations and welcome.
This really is an extraordinary time for our country,
because the excitement that you feel and the communities that
have won here today is matched in communities all across the
United States of America. Even in those communities that
competed for these coveted awards, but did not receive the awards
today -- they've come together in order to apply for the award
and they found out a lot about themselves in the process. We
tried to design the application process in a way that would
encourage communities to come together and develop a common
vision of what the brightest future for that community might be.
I remember those early meetings six years ago, and I
recall in one of those first meetings a little children's story
that Disney came up with years ago -- you remember the story of
Dumbo, the Elephant, with the big ears -- but he could only fly
with his magic feather. And then in a moment of crisis, the
feather was nowhere to be found and, of course, the feather was
not ultimately necessary at all.
In a sense, the communities that have won these awards
could have done most of what you have done without the award --
you could fly, so to speak, toward this brighter future even
without this process. But the process, in many cases you've told
us, has made it easier for you to get some of the sectors of the
communities, some of your partners to come to the table and
really pay close attention to what the whole community has at
stake. And I think really the biggest success of this whole
Empowerment Zone Enterprise Community program has been the way it
has encouraged communities to come together. It's been a
privilege for me to be a part of it and I am very excited at
these awards today.
You know, I do want to say this -- both my colleagues
had some kind words about the way the White House has steered
this I want to make it very clear. A few days ago we passed
an historic milestone in America. This is now the longest and
strongest economic recovery in the entire history of the United
States of America. (Applause.) And there's one man principally
responsible for it, and that is President Bill Clinton.
(Applause.) And we want to thank President Clinton for his
leadership and policies that have made it possible. (Applause.)
And from the beginning the President and I have tried
to design policies that not only would give our country a chance
to have this strong, sustained economic growth, but would also
make it possible for those communities that have been left out in
the past, left behind during previous economic booms, to fully
participate and to be a part of the prosperity. And the
Empowerment Zone Enterprise Community program has been one of the
central components of a whole set of policies that have been
designed to make sure that people are not left behind.
The good news is that these policies are working.
We're allowing everyone to participate. We can see our shining
success in neighborhoods and communities and schools across
America. We can see it in parents who are hopeful, who dream of
a better future for their children and then for their
grandchildren -- people who refuse to accept that the way things
are is the way they will always be in the future. We see it in
local residents, who are bridging the barriers that have divided
neighborhoods and groups in the past instead of reaching out
their hands across those barriers and joining in common dreams
for a brighter future.
It's true that when President Clinton and I first took
office there were many willing to throw in the towel on our
distressed communities. There were a lot of reasons for that --
prejudice played a role; historic development patterns played a
role -- there are many causes. But we knew that if America is
going to be strong, our cities and distressed rural communities
have to be strong, as well.
Today, in a world more connected than ever before, we
really do need the talent and the skill of every single American
if we're going to succeed as a nation. We really cannot afford
to leave anybody behind.
Time and again we heard from mayors and community
leaders who told us that one of the keys to a successful formula
was to avoid what the federal government has sometimes done in
the past, and that is to come into cities and tell the cities
what to do. Instead, what we heard was, listen to us and work
with us and give us what we need to do -- in the way that we know
how to do it. And so we designed this whole program as a
partnership catalyzing program, to help bring jobs back to
distressed communities, to help bring private business partners
in and get them involved and prideful and committed to the kind
of progress that they want to help produce in the communities
that they serve.
We wanted, also, to make sure that rural communities
would no longer be abandoned. There are so many rural
communities where you can go into the high school senior class
and ask how many of them are going to stay there, and practically
none plan to. We want to change that. And new development
patterns make it possible to create hope right in those rural
communities. We wanted to encourage entrepreneurs to come back
into the community and build their futures there.
Well, we know that there are a lot of other pieces to
the puzzle and we've worked on community policing and bringing
the crime rate down, transportation policies that make it
possible for people going off welfare to get to jobs and back and
forth; child care; strong family policies; an effective battle
against drugs -- all of the parts of the puzzle do fit together.
But economic opportunity and moving communities in the right
direction is really at the heart of it.
And I'm proud to tell you today that of the first round
winners in our Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community
competition, virtually all of them have shown tremendous
progress; tens of thousands of jobs have been created. And now
for the first time in more than a generation, our central cities
and rural communities are sharing in America's success.
One reason is that this program does work in
partnership with other efforts to bring money back to where it
needs to be invested -- such as the Community Reinvestment Act,
which has inspired the private sector to pledge more than $1
trillion in loans to distressed communities, more than 95 percent
of which have been made since 1993. That is why President
Clinton and I are going to make sure that the Community
Reinvestment Act remains strong for the 21st century.
I have personally been to every single one of these
empowerment zones, several of them repeatedly. I've been to
quite a few of the enterprise communities, and I've seen what's
happening with my own eyes. I recognize a lot of faces in this
room from people who have been at our annual White House
conferences on empowerment zones. And, indeed, in the last one
the applicant communities were invited to come in and have an
intensive dialogue with the first round winners, so, as Secretary
Glickman said, we could learn from what happened before -- and
Secretary Cuomo emphasized this.
And if you go to some of these zones you'll be
astonished. If you go to Detroit, Mayor Archer will tell you
about the $2 billion in new private investment that has been
leveraged right into the heart of the Detroit zone because of the
empowerment zone process.
Go to Keysville, Georgia, and they'll tell you quickly
about their innovative computer network that links small towns to
promote the entire region with stunning success. Go to Kansas
City, and Mayor Cleaver will show you how the incentives have
helped to renovate the historic jazz district. All across
America communities are even reconnecting to their neighboring
communities not just to bring jobs and opportunity back, but
to find common solutions to shared problems, to build more
liveable communities and to improve their quality of life.
So now we're about to spark even more growth in jobs,
because today we are awarding 20 brand new empowerment zones, 15
urban zones and 5 rural zones all across our country. The second
round builds on the first round by providing new opportunity in
new and creative ways. At a time when many communities across
America are reaching across borders to come up with regional
solutions to problems, more than one-third of the urban zones are
being awarded to cities that came together to form regional
partnerships. And also for the first time, round two allowed
Indian tribes with high poverty to qualify for and receive
designation. And we're awarding one today.
And that's just the beginning. I'm pleased to announce
that in the budget we will submit to Congress next month we are
seeking an additional $1.6 billion in grants to help create jobs,
leverage private investment, and bring businesses back to these
20 award winning communities today. We'll need your help.
(Applause.)
And let me say, we need your help in building upon the
strong bipartisan base of support in the Congress, by magnifying
the message that this is a bipartisan approach. There was zero
consideration given to whether these communities have been led by
Democrats or Republicans or what areas they were in. This is
about people, not politics. This is about the future of our
country. And you can help us deliver that message loudly and
clearly, and that the program works, in order to secure approval
of that particular provision I just mentioned. Because if
Congress approves full funding for our new empowerment zones, it
will help create and retain about 90,000 jobs and stimulate more
than $20 billion in new private and public investment. That's a
down payment on extending the American Dream to millions of
Americans.
I mentioned that we're going to have 20 rural
enterprise communities. This, too, is an investment that pays
off; 11 of the empowerment zones that we're naming today started
out as enterprise communities four years ago. We estimate that
they will create and retain 16,000 jobs and stimulate $500
million in public and private investment. And, incidentally,
these estimates are not pie-in-the-sky figures, they're based on
the real experience that we've already had with the winning
communities. These are real numbers.
And there are no losers, because the communities that
have gone through this process have felt that it has been a very,
very successful one, because groups that have never talked to one
another came together for the first time and real progress was
made. And that's why I'm proud to announce, as Secretary Cuomo
mentioned, that we're going to seek $45 million in special grants
to be awarded to the 15 runner-up communities, and we're going to
call them strategic planning communities that were finalists in
the competition for urban empowerment zones.
The more we can invest in the dreams that are nurtured
in these communities, the more we can give them the tools to
reach those dreams and reach their goals, turn their dreams into
reality. And the stronger our communities will be and the
stronger our nation will be.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank all of you
for being the dreammakers. And now it's my pleasure to present
the 20 award winners here today. I'm going to ask each
delegation to join me on stage as I read off their names. We're
going to go with the urban awards first, and then the rural
awards. And then I'll make some very brief concluding comments.
(The awards were presented.)
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Now, ladies and gentlemen, just a
brief closing comment. Again, I want to congratulate all of the
award winners here today. The only way we're going to meet the
challenges of our distressed urban and rural communities is if we
work together, and that is exactly what we are doing.
Now, one final word. This award today is the beginning
of a new era in these communities. I want you to know that our
role as your partner is not over with the giving of this award
and the resources that go along with it. We will continue to
have our regular White House conferences, with the detailed
break-out sessions on how to address and solve all the various
problems that you've come across that you would like us to be
teammates with you in solving. And we will continue to be
available to you on a regular ongoing basis to facilitate
communication with your peers and colleagues, and to identify
other opportunities. As many of you know, along with this award
designation comes not only the resources and the prestige, but
also some extra help in various programs and the identification
of opportunities.
So I want you to know that this is just the beginning
and it's just the beginning for our efforts to be good partners
with you, as well.
To one and all, once again, congratulations.
(Applause.)

Re: electricity deregulation
Yes and no. Here's where we are.
After meeting internally on possible labor provisions, we deployed Bill
Samuels to get a quiet "gut check" from labor on our ideas before a airing
them in a formal meeting. After getting that intelligence, he was to set
up a meeting w/ a set of labor leaders and our team.
Monday, he completed the first step w/ IBEW. It went well enough for him
to get the larger meeting together, and I know we need to move fast.
We'll make it happen ASAP this week.
On substance, Bill says they like a couple of our ideas, but they've got
at least one concern that he believes isn't adequately covered by our
current set of options (deals w/ reliability -- we're checking on
possible responses as I write -- I'm not sure his idea works, but we
should be able to construct something that will).
On schedule, Ron Minsk has slated labor issues for discussion in the NEC
process -- we're on one week from today.

TEXT:
I suspect this is Hagel spouting off, but we need to find out. I talked
to Julie. We should set up a mtg with Lisa immediately and use the hook
of budget/sotu as reason for immediacy. We should raise the issue
directly, but not as purpose of the meeting. It should be along the lines
of -- we have heard what hagel said, it is obviously of tremendous concern
to us and it only makes us more intent on addressing your concerns and
getting the Senator comfortable with what we are doing. In that regard,
we need Dirk ready to discuss and say something positive about coal, and
we may want Elgie or someone else to discuss budget. This meeting will
deserve an all-star cast.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
January 12, 1999
PRESS BRIEFING BY
JOE LOCKHART
The Briefing Room
1:40 P.M. EST
MR. LOCKHART: Let's see. I have one travel announcement to make
before
we get to questions. As the President has done in past years, he will
travel
the day after the State of the Union to amplify on the themes and policies
of
that speech. This year, the President will travel to Buffalo, New York
and to
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on January 20th.
The Vice President and the First Lady will accompany the President
on
this trip. It's a one-day trip. We'll be back by the evening.
Q
What are the events?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, it would be hard to sort of amplify on themes
we
haven't articulated yet. We plan to deliver the speech.
Q
Is he going because Buffalo was declared a local emergency
this
morning? They've had 41 inches of snow since January 1st, they've called
out
the National Guard. (Laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: I am personally now offering my staff to go up and
shovel
off the site. (Laughter.)
Q
Who is going with him?
MR. LOCKHART: The Vice President and the First Lady.
Q
Why are they going? Is that part of the theme or what?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. No, the Vice President and First Lady went
last
year when we went to University of Illinois and to Wisconsin.
Q
Where in --
MR. LOCKHART: I don't have a city yet.
Q
Joe, why does the President think it important that he
deliver
the speech as scheduled on Tuesday?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think as we've said before, what's going on
in
the Senate right now is important. The Senate needs to take care of the
business before them; but the agenda and the policies that the President
pursue,
the people's business, also has to go forward, and the President believes
that
it's proper that he give the speech on the 19th and lay out his agenda for
this
year.
Q
Does he find it awkward?
MR. LOCKHART: I think that there are certainly issues -- the
issue
before the Senate, as I've said, is important. It's certainly not
something
that the President or anybody here looks
forward to, but I don't think the President has the ability to be
distracted.
The public expects him to stay focused on his work and he intends to do
that.
Q
Do you think he will acknowledge the proceedings during
his
speech?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know.
Q
Is the decision to go ahead on the 19th firm, or is the
White
House still open to changing it if it need be?
MR. LOCKHART: The decision is firm.
Q
I understand what you say, it's not something the
President
looks forward to it's the impeachment trial or the speech in the
uncomfortable circumstances?
MR. LOCKHART: The President always looks forward to the State of
the
Union speech as a chance to lay out his agenda. He has enjoyed the work
he's
done to date on it, which has been rather extensive, and I think he'll
look
forward to the evening.
Q
Despite the uncomfortable circumstances?
MR. LOCKHART: Despite them.
Q
Joe, is the President going to keep out of the limelight
for the
duration of the trial? Is he not going to hold any direct formal news
conferences? I mean, he is a criminal defendant. Is he going to speak
out?
MR. LOCKHART: If holding a formal news conference was the
criteria for
keeping out of the limelight, we would have kept a pretty low profile here
lately.
Q
Once it starts?
MR. LOCKHART: But the answer is no, the President will continue
on a
bigger schedule of events as he has over the last few months.
Q
And you don't preclude a formal news conference?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't preclude anything. I'm certainly not
giving any
guidance on that front, though.
Q
Just for the record, what do you make of the House brief
on the
impeachment articles, and could you give us some insight as to what you
plan to
file tomorrow?
MR. LOCKHART: I think what we'll file tomorrow is a longer
version of
the answer to the charges; it's actually the trial brief that will go
through
the factual and evidence -- the facts and the evidence that have been put
forward, and the constitutional and legal issues and a much more expanded
version of what you saw yesterday.
As far as the House brief, I think, as I told you this morning,
that it
is, at times, a hallmark of what is a weak factual and constitutional
case, that
the allegations continue to shift and that the rhetoric continues to be
overblown. And I think those are the two things that come out of that
document.
We have a new bundling and interpretations of the allegations
against
the President, at this late date. I think -- as someone who is trying to
defend
themselves, you have a point
where you should understand what the charges are, and where you should
understand how they are put together and what the bases of them are. And
I
think we saw some shifting in the documents,
,
just yesterday.
Q
Joe, the articles haven't changed since they were voted on
by
the House. Why do you say they are being rebundled?
MR. LOCKHART: The articles haven't changed, but if you look at
the
legal brief, they have now sought to bring back in the article that failed
to
get a majority vote. You have members telling the media that, we've got a
whole
bunch of new stuff that we're ready to spring on them. I think we're
beyond the
point of playing those kind of games, and they should just argue their
case.
Q
Given this limiting of the charges, do you still stand by
what
you stated this morning of how the brief reads?
MR. LOCKHART: Sure. I think there is overblown rhetoric in there
about
sinister plots, and I think that it detracts from the argument they're
trying to
make.
Q
And "cheap mystery" as well?
MR. LOCKHART: That's a good phrase. (Laughter.)
Q
How would you describe the administration response to
that, that
has got to be in by, I think, 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning?
MR. LOCKHART: Detailed, well-argued and compelling.
Q
But what kind of tone would it have, compared, for
instance, to
the
MR. LOCKHART: I think it will be based on the facts and the law.
I
think those of you who have followed our submissions over the last few
months
will see things that you've seen before. But it will basically make the
case
that, on the facts and the evidence, the articles are not supported, based
on
the facts. They're not supported based on the Constitution, or do they
have a
sufficient legal foundation.
Q
Were any Senators consulted for their opinions on the
document?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
Q
Joe, what was the President doing today vis-a-vis the
State of
the Union, and preparing?
MR. LOCKHART: He's got a meeting this afternoon, I believe. I
think
sometime in the next hour of so, I think he's got a couple of hours
blocked off
for a meeting with his team.
Q
What's going to be new, Joe, in the submission? What are
we
likely to see that we haven't heard before?
MR. LOCKHART: If I told you what was going to be new today, it
wouldn't
be new tomorrow.
Q
All right, then let me come at it a different way. Is
there
likely to be anything in this submission that we have not seen before?
MR. LOCKHART: I am not going to signal what's in the submission,
just
to give you a broad outline of what I expect it to look like. You can
wait
until tomorrow, it will be out tomorrow morning.
Q
Well, I mean, you've said it will be an expanded version
of what
the President has submitted so far --
MR. LOCKHART: Correct.
Q
-- which, to the President's critics -- granted, they're
his
critics -- has been totally insufficient, so what's the point?
MR. LOCKHART: The point is, is there's a process here. And the
process
calls for you to answer the charges formally and then to file a trial
brief
formally. And we intend to respond in a way that conforms with the rules
and
procedures of the Senate trial.
Q
And you expect it to be effective?
MR. LOCKHART: I do.
Q
You still don't know who is going to argue for the
President?
MR. LOCKHART: I still don't. I know the universe of people; I
don't
know how it's all going to be done.
Q
Is it the President's decision to dodge reporters and duck
us,
to run off stages and so forth, for the millennium?
MR. LOCKHART: You can blame it on me.
Q
Or is it your decision and the spinmeisters who are
keeping him
away from us?
MR. LOCKHART: Is that a pejorative term? Spinmeisters?
Q
Yes. It is pejorative.
MR. LOCKHART: I thought so. I know.
Q
Whose is it?
Q
To what extent, at this point in the proceeding, is the
White
House making its case to individual Senators? In other words, as the
question
came up this morning, the House prosecutors gave individual copies of
their
presentation to individual Senators. Is the White House going to that
extent --
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, I didn't look into the logistics, but I'm sure
that
our documents will get into the hands of all the Senators, either through
the
leadership structure or directly. We believe that all of them will read
it and
hope that they will find it to be a persuasive document.
Q
Does that go for everything that you're going to send up
there,
like the rebuttal tomorrow?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes.
Are you anticipating anything in the State of the Union
that
touches on impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I think I answered that before in saying that I
didn't
know.
Q
Joe, to follow up the earlier question, is Senator
Mitchell
playing any role behind the scenes -- in an advisory capacity, a
consultative
capacity?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. A behind-the-scenes advisory and in a
consultative
basis.
Is he talking to other Senators on your behalf?
MR. LOCKHART: I have not talked to Senator Mitchell. I wouldn't
preclude that he is talking to his old friends. I know that his advice on
how
to proceed here has proved invaluable to the legal team and the political
team
here, based on his knowledge of the Senate.
Anyone else?
Q
Will he be on the team that is before the
Senate --
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
Q
Joe, is the President talking to individual Senators even
now
about impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I know that the President talks to Senators. I
know he
spoke to -- he had Senators at the State Dinner last night, but I haven't
checked into the details of any of the conversations.
Q
Does the President consider it appropriate for him to talk
to
Senators about impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the President believes that the Senators
are
sophisticated enough to not engage in an inappropriate conversation.
Q
Joe, is Mitchell -- I'm going to clarify this -- is he
consulting with the legal team, is he consulting directly with the
President?
MR. LOCKHART: I'd say he's consulting -- I'm certain that he's
spoken
to the President -- I don't know when the last time was. But it's mostly
the
legal and political team that are charged with this.
Q
And this is mainly on Senate procedures and his knowledge
of the
individual personalities up there, or what?
MR. LOCKHART: It's basically moving on the Senate trial. He's an
accomplished and gifted lawyer, as well as someone who probably knows as
much
about how the Senate works as anybody in town.
Q
Anyone else in that category?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I know -- I mean, it is informal, but I
know
that they talk to him on a pretty regular basis. I don't know if there's
other
people. There are other former senators who have called to inquire as to
what
they could do to help. But I don't know that there's anything on any
basis
that's going forward there.
Q
Any Republicans that you've been able to enlist to help
you?
Q
Bumpers?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of. I know that there have been
a
variety of former Republican senators who have made public statements
about
trying to shorten the process and find some way to short-circuit this, but
I
don't know that we're in any way in touch with them.
So Senator Dole isn't involved in this at all anymore?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Joe, now that you've had the House brief, what motions are
you
considering?
MR. LOCKHART: If we have motions, we will discuss them at the
appropriate time, which is not until the end of the Q&A session.
Q
What kind of reception do you feel yesterday's filing
received?
Joe, what's your sense of how it was received by the Senate?
MR. LOCKHART: I will leave that up to the 100 senators who have
to
decide that. I haven't gotten any feedback one way or the other.
Is that to say that you all are not gauging the reception
of
your filing? Surely you are.
MR. LOCKHART: I'm going to leave it up to the 100 senators who
will sit
in judgment of this to render an opinion. I've seen a lot of them on a
lot of
your channels, so you can ask them directly.
Joe, yesterday's submission said that the charges were
vague.
After reading the House response or the House game plan, do you still feel
like
the charges are vague, or did they answer the questions that you had?
MR. LOCKHART: That actually would probably be a better one to put
to
the lawyers. I didn't ask them that specifically. I was not made aware
that
anyone feels that they're any more specific than they are now. It does go
a
little bit to the point that I said before, that with each submission the
charges change, and it's difficult enough to defend yourself against a set
of
charges in these circumstances; but when they change consistently, it
makes it
even more difficult.
Q
Joe, you said this morning that the Republican brief read
like a
bad mystery novel.
MR. LOCKHART: I did.
Q
And what's the mystery? (Laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: I think it was more the language that was employed.
Joe, can you explain to us the press arrangements for
today's
speech? I understand it took place in a rather large auditorium, but it
was
pool press --
MR. LOCKHART: No, I can't, because I wasn't involved in those
arrangements. You should ask my staff that does --
Well, I thought you said to blame you for the fact that he
wasn't --
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, if you all are sitting out there thinking
that I
sit and decide whether something is pool or isn't, you know that isn't the
case,
so ask the people who know. Is that not clear, Josh?
No, it's not entirely.
MR. LOCKHART: Okay, then follow up.
I'm not clear. Who is making the decisions, then?
Apparently,
it was a rather elaborate thing where there was a plastic shield where
people
couldn't see the President.
MR. LOCKHART: Apparently? I don't know, I wasn't there. Were
you
there?
Q
I wasn't there. It was pool only, Joe. What am I
supposed to
tell you?
MR. LOCKHART: Okay. I think you should, if you have a problem,
take it
up with the Correspondents Association and we'll be glad to look at it.
The Correspondents Association doesn't make these
arrangements.
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, you're asking me a question I don't know
the
answer to. If you'd like, we'll take a filing break, I'll go talk to my
staff
and come back with information. Is that what we want to do?
Joe, let me just ask a general question, which is, is
there a
decision here, or has the press operation or others here made a decision
that
until the impeachment matter is resolved the President won't get into a
back and
forth with the press corps?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Q
No, no decision, or no what?
That's bad.
MR. LOCKHART: What's bad?
Q
It's bad to keep reporters away from the President.
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, if you seriously want to have a serious
conversation, come up to my office, we'll talk about it. If you want to
stand
there and try to talk to me about something you know I don't have
knowledge of
in a way to embarrass me, I don't think that's productive. So let's move
on.
Q
You have no control over whether something is pool or open?
MR. LOCKHART: I do; it's my office. But I'm telling you that I
don't
make these decisions on a case-by-case basis. And if you're asking me to
look
into this, I'll be glad to look into it.
Q
We are trying to say to you that the President --
MR. LOCKHART: I understand what you're trying to say to me.
Q
-- that the President is being kept away from reporters.
MR. LOCKHART: I take your point. I take your point.
Q
For those of us who have covered this man since the day he
arrived in the White House, there has been a distinct lack of access --
not just
for the time that you've been press secretary, but starting before that
where
the chance to regularly engage the President in questions and answers,
either
informally in the Oval Office or in the Roosevelt Room has been gone, and
it's
not just by coincidence.
MR. LOCKHART: That is a different question than asking me about
an
event I didn't go to and whether we purposely took a big auditorium and
made it
pool. I will look into it. I will address that question because that's,
I
believe, a legitimate question -- which is, we try to make the President
available, there are times when we, either through news conferences or in
pool
spray settings that he is available. There are times that we go sometime
where
he's not. And we have to make that judgment on a day-by-day basis --
which is,
I think, a different thing than whether he's in a room that should be pool
or
not.
Q
Would you acknowledge that for the last several weeks
access to
the President has been non-existent.
MR. LOCKHART: Certainly I'll acknowledge --
Why? Can you explain why?
Q
When you said, you can blame me -- when asked whether the
President was trying to dodge the press and you said, you can blame me --
we
want to know whether this was a specific incident in which we can blame
you.
MR. LOCKHART: It was not. It was not. Okay, "the entourage
proceeded
to a small" -- the pool report reports -- "a small, as in about 100 seats,
auditorium with a pale terrazzo floor and a dark wood-slated walls."
Q
Joe, have the President's attorneys advised him
specifically
that he should not take questions from reporters, especially vis-a-vis the
impeachment trial?
MR. LOCKHART: No, they have not.
They have not advised him to keep quiet about the trial?
MR. LOCKHART: They have not.
He is free to talk?
MR. LOCKHART: He is free to talk.
Q
Has he said he is not interested in talking? Has he given
any
instructions?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think he has said to you on numerous
occasions that
he doesn't know anything more productive he can say on this subject. He'd
love
to talk about some other subjects, some important things he's doing. It's
hard
for me to remember when the last question like that was posed to him, but
that's
not our job. Your job is to pose the questions; our job is to try to
answer
them in the best way we know how.
Q
Joe, is he afraid of answering questions at this point?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Q
But I guess what you said to Wendell was that it's clear
that in
the last couple of weeks there's been less access and you're aware of
that, and
then I guess you would be responsible for that, at least in part.
MR. LOCKHART: That's how we started this conversation.
Q
What is the thinking behind that? Is the sense that it's
just
MR. LOCKHART: As I said yesterday, it's unproductive right now to
get
into -- for the President to get into a long Q&A on this subject, which I
think
is self-evident. But if it's not, then we'll have to agree to disagree.
Q
Joe, I know you're asked periodically about his health and
his
mood. From what we see on television, he doesn't look very good. Can you
give
us an idea of his mood, and is he taking any sort of medication?
(Laughter.)
Seriously --
MR. LOCKHART: That's not a serious question, that's --
Q
It's a very serious question, he's the leader of the free
world.
MR. LOCKHART: Yeah, but I don't think you have any basis to ask
that
question, so we'll move on.
Q
Well, why can't you tell us --
MR. LOCKHART: We'll move on.
Q
-- if he's taking any sort of medication?
MR. LOCKHART: We'll move on.
Q
Is the President well?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, he's very well. He had a very energized and
animated conversation on the way over to the event with the Vice President
about
both the event the Vice President did yesterday and the event that the
President
did today, about how important these initiatives are, and how it really is
a
kind of fundamental shift in the way the government is going to approach
growth
out in this country, as we move into the next millennium. So he's, again,
focused on what he is supposed to be doing.
Q
Are there plans for the President to undergo any medical
procedures in the next few weeks?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
I'm dead serious.
MR. LOCKHART: I have no reason to doubt you're not, Wendell.
Q
Do you think it's at all hypocritical, for example, to
announce
the President's going to go on this long trip after the State of the Union
to
see the public and travel around and be seen as being out in the public,
and
yet, at the same time, you're saying you're keeping him isolated from us?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm not saying I'm keeping him isolated. The
President
goes out and speaks in public, through you, every day. It's not every day
that
the President decides to enter a Q&A with you, and that's a decision we
make.
Q
But it was fairly regular until recently.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, so be it. I don't view it as hypocritical,
though.
Q
May I ask you an international question --
MR. LOCKHART: Sure.
Q
-- there's been nothing on this. Since the APEC
Conference is
in New Zealand next year and the Prime Minister of New Zealand is here for
two
days starting tomorrow, does the President have any intention of meeting
with
her? She's going to be with Al Gore.
MR. LOCKHART: As David informs me, the Secretary of State plans a
meeting, as does the Vice President.
Q
But the President has no plans --
MR. LOCKHART: No. If that changes, I'll let you know.
Q
I'd appreciate it.
Q
Joe, Larry Flynt says he's a supporter of the President,
says he
just wants to help the President. Are these revelations helping the
President's
case at all?
MR. LOCKHART: Absolutely not. I think the President has been very
clear, from before he even came to Washington -- I think, on one of the
Sunday
shows from last week, they played a clip from '92 of the President railing
against the politics of personal destruction -- the President's been very
clear
the whole time he's been here that there's no place in this town for this
kind
of politics, and it ought to come to an end. And I think that there is
responsibility to go all the way around on this and, frankly, if the news
media
stopped covering some of this stuff -- I'm not arguing about one story in
particular, because judgments have to be made on a case-by-case basis --
that
maybe there wouldn't be such a market for it. But the President doesn't
believe
that this has any place in our politics, and has said so.
Q
Has he talked to Larry Flynt?
MR. LOCKHART: No. I'm not sure he's ever spoken to Larry Flynt.
Q
Well, I thought he might want to convey that message.
Q
The RNC is saying that the White House is helping Mr.
Flynt.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, the RNC ought to stop practicing the politics
of
innuendo, which is just about as sleazy as the politics of personal
destruction.
If they've got evidence, they ought to bring it forward. If not, they
ought to
knock it off. And people should stop carrying their water by printing
things
without any foundation.
Q
Has the White House talked to the RNC about that?
MR. LOCKHART: No. We don't have an open line of communication to
that
organization.
Q
Joe, you've been clear that the President's State of the
Union
address is firm and going forward. Has the senior staff or the President
spoken
to the Senate leadership in the last few days about their feelings,
whether it's
appropriate?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, I think we've made it clear, both on the staff
level
and whatever contacts we've had with senators, that we plan to go
forward.
There are certainly different opinions, even among the parties, about
whether
the President should go forward, but we believe that the appropriate thing
to do
is go forward and give the speech.
Q
He was invited, wasn't he?
MR. LOCKHART: That's correct.
Q
Not to put too fine a point on it, Joe, but I -- has some
scenario similar to Podesta calling Lott and saying, look, we're coming,
we're
firm on this -- has there been some communication back to the Senate,
other than
from the podium, that sort of thing?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm not aware that there's been any formal
communication.
I don't know that anyone has spoken to Senator Lott in the last few days.
But I
think, in the conversations, the informal conversations we have had with
staff
and Senate and -- I think most of those are with Democratic staff, but not
exclusive -- we've indicated that it's our intention to accept the
invitation
and come up on the 19th.
Q
Is there any chance at all that he could change his mind,
Joe?
MR. LOCKHART: I think I have said several times here that we
intend to
be there on the 19th.
Q
Your comments on the Flynt news interview and news
conference
and such -- did the President say anything to you, specifically, about
Larry
Flynt and what he's been doing?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Q
Or the senior staff --
MR. LOCKHART: He has said to us repeatedly, on the broader
subject,
that he has no tolerance for this kind of activity, won't tolerate it with
anybody on his staff, and believes that we have come to a point where
somebody
has to stand up and try to put an end to this. And we can't condone this
kind
of politics.
But he hasn't said anything specifically about this?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I haven't talked to him about this in the last
day or
so. Certainly not in relation to any specific news or any specific event
in the
last day.
Q
Well, Joe, do you think that if the President issued,
perhaps, a
very specific statement -- didn't pick up the phone but issued a very
specific
public statement, addressing Flynt, that perhaps Flynt would be shamed
into
stopping it?
Q
"Dear Larry" -- (laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: It's hard for me to understand or to calibrate what
it
would take to shame him into doing something. (Laughter.) But let me say
this,
that I've said repeatedly from here where the President is, and I think
that if
you go back over the last 10 years, you will not find a political figure
in this
country who has been more consistent and more outspoken on this subject
than the
President.
Q
Joe, you said that the President is not afraid to answer
questions, but it's not prudent, or whatever word you used, to do it at
this
time --
MR. LOCKHART: "Productive" was the word I used.
Q
-- so can't we infer that during the course of the trial
it's
not going to be productive as well, and that we won't get a question in?
MR. LOCKHART: No, maybe we'll change our minds.
Q
It's a concern that he might say something that would
antagonize
the jurors?
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, I think we've done enough on this. I
understand
your concern, I understand where you're all coming from. I am not trying
to be
contentious here. We make our decisions, we live with them, and I don't
think
it would be productive to keep going around and around on this.
Q
Joe, what does the President hope these sanctions that
Sandy
Berger announced against Russian institutions accomplish?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think we have a broad and wide-ranging
non-proliferation regime, particularly when it comes to working with the
Russians on moving technology or expertise on weapons of mass
destruction. This
is one part of it, where he can take administrative action, and it will
put
these three companies out of business as far as dealing with the United
States
government. We continue to work with the Russians on a broader range of
issues.
They've enacted some tough new laws, but there's more work that they need
to be
doing, and we will continue to work with them.
Q
Well, isn't the U.S. argument really with the Kremlin and
not
with three individual companies or institutions?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think that we continue to work with the
Russian
government. They have taken some steps; we believe they need to take
further
steps. I can't get into the details of these particular companies and
what they
may or may not have been doing, but these companies, we believe, were
taking
steps that made it impossible for the United States government to work
with
them.
Q
Joe, what's the latest development on the situation over
the
incident over Iraq this morning?
MR. LOCKHART: I would actually defer to the Pentagon -- let me
see
if I have something on that -- as I think they reported this morning,
there was
an F-16 that was tracked by early-warning radar. The pilot of that plane
took
the appropriate response of firing a HARM missile, and returned safely to
base.
Q
Is the U.S. sending more planes to Iraq, I mean, to the
area?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of. I'd put that question to
the
Pentagon, though. It's not something that I've been briefed on.
Q
Joe, many people at the White House say that James
Carville is
his own person and he does his own thing. Is the White House standing
firm
that, while it did not aid Larry Flynt in --
MR. LOCKHART: I've never been asked the question. I have no idea
what
James is doing. The President has been clear on this subject. You'd have
to
ask that question of James.
Q
The RNC has strictly said -- well, it's specifically
saying that
Carville is the one, on advice of the White House to put this out --
MR. LOCKHART: That's an absolutely baseless charge and at some
point
there ought to be a price to pay for making baseless charges and
practicing the
politics of innuendo.
Q
And what's that price?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know. I think you are all in a better
position
to decide whether these are credible news sources that you get your
information
from.
Joe, once the President's budget comes out in early
February, is
it the administration's assumption that the individual proposals will not
be
able to run on a simultaneous track with the Senate trial and that
everything is
basically going to be held hostage until that trial ends? I mean, are you
running under that assumption?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't think we've made any firm assumptions. We
plan
to put forward an agenda and hope that the House and the Senate will move
forward as quickly as they see possible in implementing that agenda.
Q
Is it possible to do that on an abbreviated schedule, when
from
noon on every day there would be a trial?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think that's a question better put to the
Senate.
I mean, it is still our hope that we can wrap the trial up in the Senate
in an
expeditious way and that this won't -- that the two won't necessarily
conflict.
Q
Thank you.
MR. LOCKHART: Thank you.

PRESIDENT CLINTON AND VICE PRESIDENT GORE UNVEIL NEW INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES
January 13, 1999
Today, President Clinton will unveil a historic new initiative that will
remove significant barriers for people with disabilities to go back to
work. This three-part budget initiative, which invests more than $2
billion over five years, includes: (1) full funding of the Work Incentives
Improvement Act which will be introduced by Senators Jeffords, Kennedy,
Roth, and Moynihan next week; (2) a new $1,000 tax credit to cover
work-related costs for people with disabilities; and (3) expanded access
to information and communications technologies. With these new proposals,
the Administration will have taken action on every recommendation made in
the report of the President,s Task Force on the Employment of Adults with
Disabilities, which the Vice President accepted last month. Justin Dart,
one of the foremost leaders of the disability community, stated in
response to today,s proposals: "The Clinton-Gore Administration has a
long history of supporting the disability community. This policy
initiative is one of the boldest since the landmark passage of the ADA."
CRITICAL NEED TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO WORK
Since President Clinton took office, the American economy has added 17.7
million new jobs, and unemployment is at a 29-year low of 4.3 percent.
The unemployment rate among all working-age adults with disabilities,
however, is nearly 75 percent. According to current estimates, about 1.6
million working-age adults have a disability that leads to functional
limitations and 14 million working-age adults have less severe but still
significant disabilities.
People with disabilities can bring tremendous energy and talent to the
American workforce, but institutional barriers often limit their ability
to work. Most critically, people with disabilities often become
ineligible for Medicaid or Medicare if they work. This means that many
people with disabilities are put in the untenable position of choosing
between health care coverage and work. In addition, advances in
technology and communications are often not accessible to people with
disabilities.
THREE-PART INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMERICANS WITH
DISABILITIES
Funding the Work Incentives Improvement Act in the President,s budget.
Health care -- particularly prescription drugs and personal assistance
is essential for people with disabilities to work. Today, the President
is announcing that his FY 2000 budget will fund the full cost of the Work
Incentives Improvement Act. This proposal, which costs $1.2 billion over
5 years, would:
-
Improve access to health care by:
--
Expanding states, ability to provide a Medicaid buy-in to
people with disabilities who return to work. This provision would enable
states to offer the buy-in to people whose assets and/or income exceed
current limits. It also would give states the option of offering the
buy-in to people with medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis,
who do not meet the current disability standard, but who can work only
because of medical treatment. Finally, this provision would give health
care grants to those states that do so.
-more-
Extending Medicare coverage, for the first time, for people with
disabilities who return to work. Although Medicare does not provide as
comprehensive a benefit as Medicaid, this aspect of the proposal ensures
that all people with disabilities who return to work have access to health
care coverage, even if they live in a state that does not take the
Medicaid option.
Creating a new Medicaid buy-in demonstration to help people with a
specific physical or mental impairment that is not yet severe enough to
qualify for health care assistance, but that is reasonably expected to
lead to a severe disability in the absence of medical treatment. This
demonstration could help people with muscular dystrophy, Parkinson,s
Disease, HIV or diabetes who are able to work with appropriate health
care.
-
Modernize the employment services system by creating a "ticket" that
will enable SSI or SSDI beneficiaries to go to any of a number of public
or private providers for vocational rehabilitation. If the beneficiary
goes to work and achieves substantial earnings, providers would be paid a
portion of the benefits saved.
-
Create a Work Incentive Grant program to provide benefits planning and
assistance, facilitate access to information about work incentives, and
better integrate services for people with disabilities working or
returning to work.
Providing a $1,000 tax credit for work-related expenses for people with
disabilities. The daily costs of getting to and from work, and being
effective at work, can be high if not prohibitive for people with
disabilities. Under this new proposal, workers with significant
disabilities would receive an annual $1,000 tax credit to help cover the
formal and informal costs that are associated with employment, such as
special transportation and technology. Like the
Jeffords-Kennedy-Roth-Moynihan Work Incentive Act, this tax credit, which
will assist 200,000 to 300,000 Americans, will help ensure that people
with disabilities have the tools they need to return to work. The credit
will cost $700 million over 5 years.
Improving access to assistive technology. Technology is often not adapted
for people with disabilities and, even when it is, people with
disabilities may not be able to afford it. This new initiative would
accelerate the development and adoption of information and communications
technologies that can improve the quality of life for people with
disabilities and enhance their ability to participate in the workplace.
The initiative would: (1) help make the Federal government a model user of
assistive technology; (2) support new and expanded state loan programs to
make assistive technology more affordable for Americans with disabilities;
and (3) invest in research and development and technology transfer in
areas such as text to speech for people who are blind, automatic
captioning for people who are deaf, and speech recognition and eye
tracking for people who can,t use a keyboard. It would provide $35
million in FY 2000, more than double the government,s current investment
in deploying assistive technology.
With these steps, the Administration has taken action on all Task Force
Recommendations. In December, the Vice President accepted the report of
the President,s Task Force on the Employment of Adults with Disabilities,
took action on some of their recommendations, and pledged that the
Administration would review others in the budget process. With the new
steps taken today, as well as an announcement that Mrs. Gore will make
tomorrow, the Administration has taken action on all the Task Force formal
recommendations:
-more-
Work to pass the Work Incentive Improvement Act.
--
Work to pass a strong Patients, Bill of Rights.
Examine tax options to assist with expenses of work.
Foster interdisciplinary consortia for employment services.
Accelerate development and adoption of assistive technology.
Direct Small Business Administration to expand outreach.
Remove Federal hiring barriers for people with mental illness
Mrs. Gore will unveil this tomorrow.
Direct OPM to develop model plan for Federal hiring of people
with disabilities.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
January 12, 1999
PRESS BRIEFING BY
JOE LOCKHART
The Briefing Room
1:40 P.M. EST
MR. LOCKHART: Let's see. I have one travel announcement to make before
we get to questions. As the President has done in past years, he will travel
the day after the State of the Union to amplify on the themes and policies of
that speech. This year, the President will travel to Buffalo, New York and to
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on January 20th.
The Vice President and the First Lady will accompany the President on
this trip. It's a one
-day trip. We'll be back by the evening.
Q
What are the events?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, it would be hard to sort of amplify on themes we
haven't articulated yet. We plan to deliver the speech.
Q
Is he going because Buffalo was declared a local emergency this
morning? They've had 41 inches of snow since January 1st, they've called out
the National Guard. (Laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: I am personally now offering my staff to go up and shovel
off the site. (Laughter.)
Q
Who is going with him?
MR. LOCKHART: The Vice President and the First Lady.
Q
Why are they going? Is that part of the theme or what?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. No, the Vice President and First Lady went last
year when we went to University of Illinois and to Wisconsin.
Q
Where in
MR. LOCKHART: I don't have a city yet.
Q
Joe, why does the President think it important that he deliver
the speech as scheduled on Tuesday?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think as we've said before, what's going on in
the Senate right now is important. The Senate needs to take care of the
business before them; but the agenda and the policies that the President pursue,
the people's business, also has to go forward, and the President believes that
it's proper that he give the speech on the 19th and lay out his agenda for this
year.
Q
Does he find it awkward?
MR. LOCKHART: I think that there are certainly issues -- the issue
before the Senate, as I've said, is important. It's certainly not something
that the President or anybody here looks
BOTTOM EVEN

forward to, but I don't think the President has the ability to be distracted.
The public expects him to stay focused on his work and he intends to do that.
Q
Do you think he will acknowledge the proceedings during his
speech?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know.
Is the decision to go ahead on the 19th firm, or is the White
House still open to changing it if it need be?
MR. LOCKHART: The decision is firm.
Q
I understand what you say, it's not something the President
looks forward to it's the impeachment trial or the speech in the
uncomfortable circumstances?
MR. LOCKHART: The President always looks forward to the State of the
Union speech as a chance to lay out his agenda. He has enjoyed the work he's
done to date on it, which has been rather extensive, and I think he'll look
forward to the evening.
Q
Despite the uncomfortable circumstances?
MR. LOCKHART: Despite them.
Q
Joe, is the President going to keep out of the limelight for the
duration of the trial? Is he not going to hold any direct formal news
conferences? I mean, he is a criminal defendant. Is he going to speak out?
MR. LOCKHART: If holding a formal news conference was the criteria for
keeping out of the limelight, we would have kept a pretty low profile here
lately.
Q
Once it starts?
MR. LOCKHART: But the answer is no, the President will continue on a
bigger schedule of events as he has over the last few months.
Q
And you don't preclude a formal news conference?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't preclude anything. I'm certainly not giving any
guidance on that front, though.
Q
Just for the record, what do you make of the House brief on the
impeachment articles, and could you give us some insight as to what you plan to
file tomorrow?
MR. LOCKHART: I think what we'll file tomorrow is a longer version of
the answer to the charges; it's actually the trial brief that will go through
the factual and evidence the facts and the evidence that have been put
forward, and the constitutional and legal issues and a much more expanded
version of what you saw yesterday.
As far as the House brief, I think, as I told you this morning, that it
is, at times, a hallmark of what is a weak factual and constitutional case, that
the allegations continue to shift and that the rhetoric continues to be
overblown. And I think those are the two things that come out of that document.
We have a new bundling and interpretations of the allegations against
the President, at this late date. I think - as someone who is trying to defend
themselves, you have a point BOTTOM ODD

where you should understand what the charges are, and where you should
understand how they are put together and what the bases of them are. And I
think we saw some shifting in the documents,
TOP ODD

just yesterday.
Q
Joe, the articles haven't changed since they were voted on by
the House. Why do you say they are being rebundled?
MR. LOCKHART: The articles haven't changed, but if you look at the
legal brief, they have now sought to bring back in the article that failed to
get a majority vote. You have members telling the media that, we've got a whole
bunch of new stuff that we're ready to spring on them. I think we're beyond the
point of playing those kind of games, and they should just argue their case.
Q
Given this limiting of the charges, do you still stand by what
you stated this morning of how the brief reads?
MR. LOCKHART: Sure. I think there is overblown rhetoric in there about
sinister plots, and I think that it detracts from the argument they're trying to
make.
Q
And "cheap mystery" as well?
MR. LOCKHART: That's a good phrase. (Laughter.)
Q
How would you describe the administration response to that, that
has got to be in by, I think, 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning?
MR. LOCKHART: Detailed, well
-argued and compelling.
Q
But what kind of tone would it have, compared, for instance, to
the
MR. LOCKHART: I think it will be based on the facts and the law. I
think those of you who have followed our submissions over the last few months
will see things that you've seen before. But it will basically make the case
that, on the facts and the evidence, the articles are not supported, based on
the facts. They're not supported based on the Constitution, or do they have a
sufficient legal foundation.
Were any Senators consulted for their opinions on the document?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
Q
Joe, what was the President doing today vis
-a
-vis the State of
the Union, and preparing?
MR. LOCKHART: He's got a meeting this afternoon, I believe. I think
sometime in the next hour of so, I think he's got a couple of hours blocked off
for a meeting with his team.
Q
What's going to be new, Joe, in the submission? What are we
likely to see that we haven't heard before?
MR. LOCKHART: If I told you what was going to be new today, it wouldn't
be new tomorrow.
Q
All right, then let me come at it a different way. Is there
likely to be anything in this submission that we have not seen before?
MR. LOCKHART: I am not going to signal what's in the submission, just
to give you a broad outline of what I expect it to look like. You can wait
until tomorrow, it will be out tomorrow morning.

Q
Well, I mean, you've said it will be an expanded version of what
the President has submitted so far
MR. LOCKHART: Correct.
Q
-- which, to the President's critics granted, they're his
critics has been totally insufficient, so what's the point?
MR. LOCKHART: The point is, is there's a process here. And the process
calls for you to answer the charges formally and then to file a trial brief
formally. And we intend to respond in a way that conforms with the rules and
procedures of the Senate trial.
Q
And you expect it to be effective?
MR. LOCKHART: I do.
Q
You still don't know who is going to argue for the President?
MR. LOCKHART: I still don't. I know the universe of people; I don't
know how it's all going to be done.
Q
Is it the President's decision to dodge reporters and duck us,
to run off stages and so forth, for the millennium?
MR. LOCKHART: You can blame it on me.
Or is it your decision and the spinmeisters who are keeping him
away from us?
MR. LOCKHART: Is that a pejorative term? Spinmeisters?
Yes. It is pejorative.
MR. LOCKHART: I thought so. I know.
Whose is it?
To what extent, at this point in the proceeding, is the White
House making its case to individual Senators? In other words, as the question
came up this morning, the House prosecutors gave individual copies of their
presentation to individual Senators. Is the White House going to that extent
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, I didn't look into the logistics, but I'm sure that
our documents will get into the hands of all the Senators, either through the
leadership structure or directly. We believe that all of them will read it and
hope that they will find it to be a persuasive document.
Q
Does that go for everything that you're going to send up there,
like the rebuttal tomorrow?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes.
Q
Are you anticipating anything in the State of the Union that
touches on impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I think I answered that before in saying that I didn't
know.
Q
Joe, to follow up the earlier question, is Senator Mitchell
playing any role behind the scenes -- in an advisory capacity, a consultative
capacity?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. A behind
-the
-scenes advisory and in a consultative
basis.
Q
Is he talking to other Senators on your behalf?
MR. LOCKHART: I have not talked to Senator Mitchell. I wouldn't
preclude that he is talking to his old friends. I know that his advice on how
to proceed here has proved invaluable to the legal team and the political team
here, based on his knowledge of the Senate.
Anyone else?
Will he be on the team that is before the
Senate
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
Q
Joe, is the President talking to individual Senators even now
about impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I know that the President talks to Senators. I know he
spoke to he had Senators at the State Dinner last night, but I haven't
checked into the details of any of the conversations.
Q
Does the President consider it appropriate for him to talk to
Senators about impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the President believes that the Senators are
sophisticated enough to not engage in an inappropriate conversation.
Q
Joe, is Mitchell -- I'm going to clarify this -- is he
consulting with the legal team, is he consulting directly with the President?
MR. LOCKHART: I'd say he's consulting -- I'm certain that he's spoken
to the President I don't know when the last time was. But it's mostly the
legal and political team that are charged with this.
Q
And this is mainly on Senate procedures and his knowledge of the
individual personalities up there, or what?
MR. LOCKHART: It's basically moving on the Senate trial. He's an
accomplished and gifted lawyer, as well as someone who probably knows as much
about how the Senate works as anybody in town.
Q
Anyone else in that category?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I know -- I mean, it is informal, but I know
that they talk to him on a pretty regular basis. I don't know if there's other
people. There are other former senators who have called to inquire as to what
they could do to help. But I don't know that there's anything on any basis
that's going forward there.
Any Republicans that you've been able to enlist to help you?
Bumpers?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of. I know that there have been a
variety of former Republican senators who have made public statements about
trying to shorten the process and find some way to short
-circuit this, but I
don't know that we're in any way in touch with them.
Q
So Senator Dole isn't involved in this at all anymore?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Q
Joe, now that you've had the House brief, what motions are you
considering?
MR. LOCKHART: If we have motions, we will discuss them at the
appropriate time, which is not until the end of the Q&A session.
Q
What kind of reception do you feel yesterday's filing received?
Joe, what's your sense of how it was received by the Senate?
MR. LOCKHART: I will leave that up to the 100 senators who have to
decide that. I haven't gotten any feedback one way or the other.
Q
Is that to say that you all are not gauging the reception of
your filing? Surely you are.
MR. LOCKHART: I'm going to leave it up to the 100 senators who will sit
in judgment of this to render an opinion. I've seen a lot of them on a lot of
your channels, so you can ask them directly.
Q
Joe, yesterday's submission said that the charges were vague.
After reading the House response or the House game plan, do you still feel like
the charges are vague, or did they answer the questions that you had?
MR. LOCKHART: That actually would probably be a better one to put to
the lawyers. I didn't ask them that specifically. I was not made aware that
anyone feels that they're any more specific than they are now. It does go a
little bit to the point that 1 said before, that with each submission the
charges change, and it's difficult enough to defend yourself against a set of
charges in these circumstances; but when they change consistently, it makes it
even more difficult.
Joe, you said this morning that the Republican brief read like a
bad mystery novel.
MR. LOCKHART: I did.
Q
And what's the mystery? (Laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: I think it was more the language that was employed.
Q
Joe, can you explain to us the press arrangements for today's
speech? I understand it took place in a rather large auditorium, but it was
pool press
MR. LOCKHART: No, I can't, because I wasn't involved in those
arrangements. You should ask my staff that does
Q
Well, I thought you said to blame you for the fact that he
wasn't
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, if you all are sitting out there thinking that I
sit and decide whether something is pool or isn't, you know that isn't the case,
so ask the people who know. Is that not clear, Josh?
No, it's not entirely.
MR. LOCKHART: Okay, then follow up.
Q
I'm not clear. Who is making the decisions, then? Apparently,
it was a rather elaborate thing where there was a plastic shield where people
couldn't see the President.
MR. LOCKHART: Apparently? I don't know, I wasn't there. Were you
there?
Q
I wasn't there. It was pool only, Joe. What am I supposed to
tell you?
MR. LOCKHART: Okay. I think you should, if you have a problem, take it
up with the Correspondents Association and we'll be glad to look at it.
Q
The Correspondents Association doesn't make these arrangements.
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, you're asking me a question I don't know the
answer to. If you'd like, we'll take a filing break, I'll go talk to my staff
and come back with information. Is that what we want to do?
Q
Joe, let me just ask a general question, which is, is there a
decision here, or has the press operation or others here made a decision that
until the impeachment matter is resolved the President won't get into a back and
forth with the press corps?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
No, no decision, or no what?
That's bad.
MR. LOCKHART: What's bad?
Q
It's bad to keep reporters away from the President.
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, if you seriously want to have a serious
conversation, come up to my office, we'll talk about it. If you want to stand
there and try to talk to me about something you know I don't have knowledge of
in a way to embarrass me, I don't think that's productive. So let's move on.
Q
You have no control over whether something is pool or open?
MR. LOCKHART: I do; it's my office. But I'm telling you that I don't
make these decisions on a case
-by
-case basis. And if you're asking me to look
into this, I'll be glad to look into it.
We are trying to say to you that the President --
MR. LOCKHART: I understand what you're trying to say to me.
Q
that the President is being kept away from reporters.
MR. LOCKHART: I take your point. I take your point.
Q
For those of us who have covered this man since the day he
arrived in the White House, there has been a distinct lack of access -- not just
for the time that you've been press secretary, but starting before that -- where
the chance to regularly engage the President in questions and answers, either
informally in the Oval Office or in the Roosevelt Room has been gone, and it's
not just by coincidence.
MR. LOCKHART: That is a different question than asking me about an
event I didn't go to and whether we purposely took a big auditorium and made it
pool. I will look into it. I will address that question because that's, I
believe, a legitimate question which is, we try to make the President
available, there are times when we, either through news conferences or in pool
spray settings that he is available. There are times that we go sometime where
he's not. And we have to make that judgment on a day
-by
-day basis which is,
I think, a different thing than whether he's in a room that should be pool or
not.
Q
Would you acknowledge that for the last several weeks access to
the President has been non
-existent.
MR. LOCKHART: Certainly I'll acknowledge --
Why? Can you explain why?
When you said, you can blame me -- when asked whether the
President was trying to dodge the press and you said, you can blame me we
want to know whether this was a specific incident in which we can blame you.
MR. LOCKHART: It was not. It was not. Okay, the entourage proceeded
to a small the pool report reports a small, as in about 100 seats,
auditorium with a pale terrazzo floor and a dark wood
-slated walls.
Q
Joe, have the President's attorneys advised him specifically
that he should not take questions from reporters, especially vis
-a
-vis the
impeachment trial?
MR. LOCKHART: No, they have not.
Q
They have not advised him to keep quiet about the trial?
MR. LOCKHART: They have not.
He is free to talk?
MR. LOCKHART: He is free to talk.
Q
Has he said he is not interested in talking? Has he given any
instructions?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think he has said to you on numerous occasions that
he doesn't know anything more productive he can say on this subject. He'd love
to talk about some other subjects, some important things he's doing. It's hard
for me to remember when the last question like that was posed to him, but that's
not our job. Your job is to pose the questions; our job is to try to answer
them in the best way we know how.
Q
Joe, is he afraid of answering questions at this point?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Q
But I guess what you said to Wendell was that it's clear that in
the last couple of weeks there's been less access and you're aware of that, and
then I guess you would be responsible for that, at least in part.
MR. LOCKHART: That's how we started this conversation.
Q
What is the thinking behind that? Is the sense that it's just
MR. LOCKHART: As I said yesterday, it's unproductive right now to get
into -- for the President to get into a long Q&A on this subject, which I think
is self
-evident. But if it's not, then we'll have to agree to disagree.
Q
Joe, I know you're asked periodically about his health and his
mood. From what we see on television, he doesn't look very good. Can you give
us an idea of his mood, and is he taking any sort of medication? (Laughter.)
Seriously
MR. LOCKHART: That's not a serious question, that's
Q
It's a very serious question, he's the leader of the free world.
MR. LOCKHART: Yeah, but I don't think you have any basis to ask that
question, so we'll move on.
Q
Well, why can't you tell us
MR. LOCKHART: We'll move on.
Q
if he's taking any sort of medication?
MR. LOCKHART: We'll move on.
Q
Is the President well?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, he's very well. He had a very energized and
animated conversation on the way over to the event with the Vice President about
both the event the Vice President did yesterday and the event that the President
did today, about how important these initiatives are, and how it really is a
kind of fundamental shift in the way the government is going to approach growth
out in this country, as we move into the next millennium. So he's, again,
focused on what he is supposed to be doing.
Q
Are there plans for the President to undergo any medical
procedures in the next few weeks?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
Q
I'm dead serious.
MR. LOCKHART: I have no reason to doubt you're not, Wendell.
Q
Do you think it's at all hypocritical, for example, to announce
the President's going to go on this long trip after the State of the Union to
see the public and travel around and be seen as being out in the public, and
yet, at the same time, you're saying you're keeping him isolated from us?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm not saying I'm keeping him isolated. The President
goes out and speaks in public, through you, every day. It's not every day that
the President decides to enter a Q&A with you, and that's a decision we make.
Q
But it was fairly regular until recently.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, so be it. I don't view it as hypocritical, though.
Q
May I ask you an international question
MR. LOCKHART: Sure.
Q
there's been nothing on this. Since the APEC Conference is
in New Zealand next year and the Prime Minister of New Zealand is here for two
days starting tomorrow, does the President have any intention of meeting with
her? She's going to be with Al Gore.
MR. LOCKHART: As David informs me, the Secretary of State plans a
meeting, as does the Vice President.
Q
But the President has no plans
MR. LOCKHART: No. If that changes, I'll let you know.
I'd appreciate it.
Q
Joe, Larry Flynt says he's a supporter of the President, says he
just wants to help the President. Are these revelations helping the President's
case at all?
MR. LOCKHART: Absolutely not. I think the President has been very
clear, from before he even came to Washington I think, on one of the Sunday
shows from last week, they played a clip from '92 of the President railing
against the politics of personal destruction the President's been very clear
the whole time he's been here that there's no place in this town for this kind
of politics, and it ought to come to an end. And I think that there is
responsibility to go all the way around on this and, frankly, if the news media
stopped covering some of this stuff I'm not arguing about one story in
particular, because judgments have to be made on a case
-by
-case basis that
maybe there wouldn't be such a market for it. But the President doesn't believe
that this has any place in our politics, and has said so.
Q
Has he talked to Larry Flynt?
MR. LOCKHART: No. I'm not sure he's ever spoken to Larry Flynt.
Well, I thought he might want to convey that message.
The RNC is saying that the White House is helping Mr. Flynt.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, the RNC ought to stop practicing the politics of
innuendo, which is just about as sleazy as the politics of personal destruction.
If they've got evidence, they ought to bring it forward. If not, they ought to
knock it off. And people should stop carrying their water by printing things
without any foundation.
Q
Has the White House talked to the RNC about that?
MR. LOCKHART: No. We don't have an open line of communication to that
organization.
Q
Joe, you've been clear that the President's State of the Union
address is firm and going forward. Has the senior staff or the President spoken
to the Senate leadership in the last few days about their feelings, whether it's
appropriate?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, I think we've made it clear, both on the staff level
and whatever contacts we've had with senators, that we plan to go forward.
There are certainly different opinions, even among the parties, about whether
the President should go forward, but we believe that the appropriate thing to do
is go forward and give the speech.
Q
He was invited, wasn't he?
MR. LOCKHART: That's correct.
Q
Not to put too fine a point on it, Joe, but I -- has some
scenario similar to Podesta calling Lott and saying, look, we're coming, we're
firm on this has there been some communication back to the Senate, other than
from the podium, that sort of thing?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm not aware that there's been any formal communication.
I don't know that anyone has spoken to Senator Lott in the last few days. But I
think, in the conversations, the informal conversations we have had with staff
and Senate and I think most of those are with Democratic staff, but not
exclusive we've indicated that it's our intention to accept the invitation
and come up on the 19th.
Q
Is there any chance at all that he could change his mind, Joe?
MR. LOCKHART: I think I have said several times here that we intend to
be there on the 19th.
Q
Your comments on the Flynt news interview and news conference
and such did the President say anything to you, specifically, about Larry
Flynt and what he's been doing?
MR. LOCKHART: No.
Q
Or the senior staff
MR. LOCKHART: He has said to us repeatedly, on the broader subject,
that he has no tolerance for this kind of activity, won't tolerate it with
anybody on his staff, and believes that we have come to a point where somebody
has to stand up and try to put an end to this. And we can't condone this kind
of politics.
Q
But he hasn't said anything specifically about this?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I haven't talked to him about this in the last day or
so. Certainly not in relation to any specific news or any specific event in the
last day.
Q
Well, Joe, do you think that if the President issued, perhaps, a
very specific statement didn't pick up the phone but issued a very specific
public statement, addressing Flynt, that perhaps Flynt would be shamed into
stopping it?
Q
"Dear Larry" (laughter.)
MR. LOCKHART: It's hard for me to understand or to calibrate what it
would take to shame him into doing something. (Laughter.) But let me say this,
that I've said repeatedly from here where the President is, and I think that if
you go back over the last 10 years, you will not find a political figure in this
country who has been more consistent and more outspoken on this subject than the
President.
Q
Joe, you said that the President is not afraid to answer
questions, but it's not prudent, or whatever word you used, to do it at this
time
MR. LOCKHART: "Productive" was the word I used.
Q
-- so can't we infer that during the course of the trial it's
not going to be productive as well, and that we won't get a question in?
MR. LOCKHART: No, maybe we'll change our minds.
Q
It's a concern that he might say something that would antagonize
the jurors?
MR. LOCKHART: Listen, I think we've done enough on this. I understand
your concern, I understand where you're all coming from. I am not trying to be
contentious here. We make our decisions, we live with them, and I don't think
it would be productive to keep going around and around on this.
Q
Joe, what does the President hope these sanctions that Sandy
Berger announced against Russian institutions accomplish?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think we have a broad and wide
-ranging
non
-proliferation regime, particularly when it comes to working with the
Russians on moving technology or expertise on weapons of mass destruction. This
is one part of it, where he can take administrative action, and it will put
these three companies out of business as far as dealing with the United States
government. We continue to work with the Russians on a broader range of issues.
They've enacted some tough new laws, but there's more work that they need to be
doing, and we will continue to work with them.
Q
Well, isn't the U.S. argument really with the Kremlin and not
with three individual companies or institutions?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think that we continue to work with the Russian
government. They have taken some steps; we believe they need to take further
steps. I can't get into the details of these particular companies and what they
may or may not have been doing, but these companies, we believe, were taking
steps that made it impossible for the United States government to work with
them.
Q
Joe, what's the latest development on the situation over the
incident over Iraq this morning?
MR. LOCKHART: I would actually defer to the Pentagon -- let me see
if I have something on that -- as I think they reported this morning, there was
an F
-16 that was tracked by early
-warning radar. The pilot of that plane took
the appropriate response of firing a HARM missile, and returned safely to base.
Q
Is the U.S. sending more planes to Iraq, I mean, to the area?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of. I'd put that question to the
Pentagon, though. It's not something that I've been briefed on.
Q
Joe, many people at the White House say that James Carville is
his own person and he does his own thing. Is the White House standing firm
that, while it did not aid Larry Flynt in
MR. LOCKHART: I've never been asked the question. I have no idea what
James is doing. The President has been clear on this subject. You'd have to
ask that question of James.
Q
The RNC has strictly said well, it's specifically saying that
Carville is the one, on advice of the White House to put this out --
MR. LOCKHART: That's an absolutely baseless charge and at some point
there ought to be a price to pay for making baseless charges and practicing the
politics of innuendo.
Q
And what's that price?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know. I think you are all in a better position
to decide whether these are credible news sources that you get your information
from.
Q
Joe, once the President's budget comes out in early February, is
it the administration's assumption that the individual proposals will not be
able to run on a simultaneous track with the Senate trial and that everything is
basically going to be held hostage until that trial ends? I mean, are you
running under that assumption?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't think we've made any firm assumptions. We plan
to put forward an agenda and hope that the House and the Senate will move
forward as quickly as they see possible in implementing that agenda.
Q
Is it possible to do that on an abbreviated schedule, when from
noon on every day there would be a trial?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think that's a question better put to the Senate.
I mean, it is still our hope that we can wrap the trial up in the Senate in an
expeditious way and that this won't that the two won't necessarily conflict.
Q
Thank you.
MR. LOCKHART: Thank you.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
January 13, 1999
PRESS BRIEFING BY
SECRETARY OF LABOR ALEXIS HERMAN
DOMESTIC POLICY ADVISOR BRUCE REED,
AND GENE SPERLING, NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL
The Briefing Room
1:37 P.M. EST
MS. WEISS: Just moments ago, the President unveiled a
three-part budget initiative to improve the economic opportunities
for Americans with disabilities. To further outline this proposal,
we have Bruce Reed, the President's chief Domestic Policy Advisor;
Gene Sperling, the President's National Economic Council Advisor; and
Secretary of Labor Alexis Herman. We also have in the audience
former Congressman Tony Coelho and Becky Ogle, who is the Executive
Director of the task force.
SECRETARY HERMAN: Thank you very, very much, Amy. I
would just like to briefly outline the mission and work of the task
force that put forward the recommendations that resulted in the
policy announcements that the President just unveiled in the East
Room; and then, of course, ask my colleagues to join me for any
questions and answers that you may have.
The recommendations that were put forward to the
President were the result of a task force that was created by the
President last March in an executive order on the employment of
adults with disabilities. The specific mission of the task force was
to have a coordinated federal policy to do all that was possible to
remove the barriers to the employment of people with disabilities,
and to do it in a way so that we would have a Cabinet-led,
Cabinet-level task force that would engage in this work.
I've been pleased to have served as the chair of this
task force. The vice-chair is with me, Tony Coelho, who is here
today. And together we have worked at the direction of the President
and the Vice President to work with our Cabinet colleagues to examine
what we can do to remove those barriers.
This is an effort that is a four-year effort, that was
commissioned in this executive order by the President. We made eight
recommendations at the conclusion of last year; the announcements
that the President made today included five of those recommendations.
The highlight, of course, includes the fact that in these policy
recommendations today, no longer will people with disabilities have
to choose between work and their health care. Secondly, they will
have the opportunity to receive a tax credit in order to get,
oftentimes, the assistance that they need to go to work. That could
involve everything from
transportation to someone to assist them with dressing in the
morning for work. And thirdly, the other aspect of this
proposal, of course, is all of the increased funding that the
President is proposing for new assistive technology in the
workplace that can make a difference.
We are very excited by the fact that the President and
the Vice President accepted all of the recommendations in this
first interim report of the task force to the President, and we
look forward to further action, to further work, in the months
and the years ahead.
At this time I will be happy to entertain any questions
that you have and ask the head of our Economic Council, Gene
Sperling, and Bruce Reed, the leader of our domestic policy team,
to please join me.
Q
Do you expect this to go through, do you think it
will pass?
SECRETARY HERMAN: I believe, with the strong
bipartisan support that was announced this morning -- Moynihan
and Roth, Senators Kennedy and Jeffords that the likelihood
for passage is very strong. And I think, as we talk today about
the fact that we don't have a single person to waste in this
economy, that we need everyone, that certainly doing all that we
can to give adults with disabilities the proper tools and skills
they will need to become gainfully employed is in the nation's
best interests.
Q
And the insurance companies and so forth will go
along with all of this?
SECRETARY HERMAN: I believe that once we have the
opportunity to lay out our proposals, to make the case of why
this is a benefit and why in the end this is really a significant
return on investment, that we will have the support of the
insurance industry as well.
Q
Have you identified how you're going to pay for
it?
SECRETARY HERMAN: That is something that obviously
will be a part of the President's budget proposals, but I will
certainly turn that, as well, to my colleague.
MR. SPERLING: The Kennedy/Jeffords/Moynihan/Roth
portion will be within the budget paid for with other offsets on
the mandatory side. On the tax cut that we have here, the tax
credit for workers with disability will be part of an overall
package we have and will give out the details of when we release
our budget February 1st. What you'll see is a package of some of
the tax credits we had last year with this and a few other new
ones, and then there will be a package that will include various
corporate loophole closers, corporate subsidies.
So you will see revenue offsets paying for this and
other of the tax cuts so that the overall package is
revenue-neutral, and the Kennedy/Jeffords/Moynihan/Roth portion
will be paid for within the mandatory side of the budget.
Q
Secretary Herman, have you undertaken any
investigation about why it's the second time in just a few months
the labor statistics were released a day earlier than they should
have been?
SECRETARY HERMAN: Yes. As a matter of fact, we do
have an ongoing investigation that is still tied to the first
glitch that we uncovered in the system; we have now added to that
the early release of the PPI date, and I expect to be briefed on
that.
Q
As far as you've been able to tell, what happened
the last time?
SECRETARY HERMAN: As far as we've been able to tell,
we do know that it was a computer glitch; it was not related to
our Y2K effort. We're trying to ascertain at this point all of
the facts related to just what was involved in the operations of
that.
Q
Do you have any expectation about when those
results will be released or that report will be --
SECRETARY HERMAN: I've asked for that report within 30
days.
Q
Today, or
SECRETARY HERMAN: Thirty days today.
Q
Mr. Sperling, can you address on a different issue
what the White House is doing today in terms of the problems in
Brazil, how you're trying to address them?
MR. SPERLING: Obviously, there has been a lot of
activity monitoring this situation, particularly since yesterday
evening. Secretary Rubin and others of us briefed the President
this morning, around 9:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m., on this. The Treasury
officials are in close contact with Brazilian authorities, with
IMF authorities, as well as G-7 partners and, indeed, have also
been in contact with other emerging markets.
At this point I would just say that we're monitoring it
very closely. I would expect, within the next couple of hours,
that Secretary Rubin will have a written statement that will be
out. We're discussing at this moment. There is active efforts on
all of those fronts. Obviously, we think it's important that
Brazil implement strong policies and I'll leave it to the
statement from Treasury that should be coming out shortly.
Q
But, Gene, you say at this point it's just
monitoring, there's no intervention contemplated or being --
MR. SPERLING: As I said, I believe we are going to
have a statement out from the Secretary of Treasury, the Treasury
Department, within the next couple of hours. So I think I'll let
that be our next substantive statement.
Q
Share with us your assessment of why it is that
the $40-some billion bail out package that was put together just
a few months ago wasn't able to do the job? What's your
assessment?
MR. SPERLING: Again, this is obviously a sensitive
time. I think the best thing for us to do right now is to be
doing just what we are doing, which is to be gathering
information on all fronts, looking at what the implications of
their action concerning their currency has been. And at this
point, I think the best thing to do would be to wait until we put
together a more specific written statement, which, again, should
be out within an hour or two.
Q
Is there a Deputy G-7 Finance Ministers' meeting
this Saturday on the subject in Frankfurt?
MR. SPERLING: I know that there have been G-7 calls
and discussions going on today. I do not know whether a specific
meeting on you mean on what's happened today or yesterday?
Q
Perhaps on some other subject where this will come
up.
MR. SPERLING: I'd have to get back to you.
Q
Back on the budget, if I could. There was talk
that the Clinton administration plans again to introduce a
proposal of taxing cigarettes at between 50 cents and 75 cents a
pack to provide some of the revenue for the 2000 spending. Could
you or Bruce either address this issue directly?
MR. SPERLING: We're not going to comment a lot, but
since it's really Bruce's area -- I'll let him not comment.
(Laughter.)
MR. REED: Well, again, without answering the question
-- (laughter) -- as the President said last fall when the states
reached agreement on their settlement, we still believe that
Congress needs to finish the job of passing legislation to reduce
youth smoking; that will be one of our top priorities in the new
Congress, and the President's budget that comes out February 1st
will show some of the details.
Q
Will he be mentioning this in the State of the
Union as he normally tries to?
MR. REED: Yes, I suspect he will.
Q
Can you tell us a little bit more about how you're
going to close -- which corporate loopholes may be closed in the
2000 budget as part of sort of the revenue projections and
revenue generation?
MR. REED: Quite specifically, the way that -- the
process that we went through because we've had target attacks --
credits that we pay for -- is that we put forward some of the tax
credits that we proposed last year that were not passed; most
specifically, the school construction, which will be part of our
new budget. We also then had processes where we developed some
additional tax credits.
At the same time, we go through the list of offsets and
do what any wise budgeting would do; see if the benefits of new
proposals are worth the cost of the raisers. I think what you'll
see is that you will see some measures that we tried last year
that were not passed that we think we could still pass in the
target tax credit. And I think there will be some new measures
that we think fit the mode of being loophole close and reductions
in corporate subsidies that we think are justified on economic
basis in order to have some additional tax incentives that we're
announcing today. And there will be another one that we'll be
talking about concerning getting capital into underserved areas,
that we'll be talking about on Friday, and a few others that
we'll roll out between now and the budget.
Q
If you can't be more specific, can you tell us
what the sort of general size of the total --
MR. SPERLING: Again, this will be highly specific.
It's just that we will put it out with the whole package. It
will be mind-numbingly specific and you will see the exact
package of tax cuts that we have, what the total cost of them are
and then you will see what the loophole closers and revenue
raisers we have. And you'll see that it will be a targeted tax
cut package as we have that is fully offset with revenue raisers
in areas that we feel are economically justifiable in the sense
that they are closing what we think are unjustified subsidies or
loopholes.
Q
Any examples?
MR. SPERLING: Not at this point.
Q
Gene, Social Security was at the cornerstone of
the President's State of the Union address last January. How big
of a part of this speech will it be? And would you raise or
lower our expectations that the President would lay out some
specific formula, guidelines or ideas about reforming Social
Security in the State of the Union address?
MR. SPERLING: It's certainly going to be an important
part of his State of the Union, as it was last year. Truthfully,
we are working, have been working and, in fact, have a meeting
within the next day or two specifically to talk about what our
strategy is for the State of the Union. I believe that as we
have talked with people about what is the best way for the
President to help lead in getting a partisan Social Security
reform, we feel that he needs to continually make efforts to move
the ball forward, but, on the other hand, that we need to make
sure that we have a framework that we can work with members of
Congress in looking for areas of consensus. So I would not
expect a detailed, comprehensive plan or anything of that sort,
but I think you can also expect that the President will address
the issue in a serious way.
Q
Why do you want Wall Street to get a bite of a
program that's worked for so many years, especially considering
what Wall Street is?
MR. SPERLING: What I said following the White House
Social Security Conference is that one of the things the
President was exploring is how Social Security could get some of
the higher returns that virtually any pension or state pension
plan does, and that means having a system that would allow for
some form of investment in --
Q
At a cost of stability that it's had?
MR. SPERLING: No, no. In fact, the President's
principles are very clear, that one of this clear principles is
that Social Security reform must have a clear guaranteed benefit
that is not based on the ups and downs of the market.
Q
Have you decided to include some form of
individual retirement account -- whether it's voluntary or
supplemental?
MR. SPERLING: I'll let the President speak on January
19th. I think there is obviously a question of how we move
forward, how much we talk about in the State of the Union. Those
are still issues that the President's working on and we're
discussing right now, as -- over these next few days critically.
Q
So you don't rule that out?
Q
Just to be clear, when you said that you would not
expect a detailed plan on Social Security, do you mean for the
State of the Union, or you mean that there's been a fundamental
decision that the President's not going to offer his own --
MR. SPERLING: He asked me, at the State of the Union.
I was responding -- he asked what the expectation should be for
the State of the Union. What the President has said is that he
will do whatever he feels is most productive in leading to a
bipartisan Social Security reform package. If at some point we
feel that the President putting forward more details, more
specific principles, guideposts, any of those things we feel are
most helpful in moving the ball forward, and that is what we will
do.
I do think that the broad number of members of Congress
that we have talked to feel it's very important that the
President take the time over the next couple of months to work
closely with members to find out what their views are, what their
concerns are, so that as he does go forward he has a strong sense
of where the basis for support and, ultimately, bipartisan
consensus can be.
Q
Was there support for individual retirement
accounts in the President's meeting today with labor union
leaders?
MR. SPERLING: I'll let them express, but I think if
anybody following the debate knows that their position
Q
You were there. Did it come up in the discussions
between the labor union leaders?
MR. SPERLING: Yes, there was some -- it wasn't
necessarily the predominant issue, but it was one of the major
issues that was discussed there. And, again, the President is
going to look at things that fit his five principles and is
keeping an open mind. But as time goes by I think he will start
to give more and more indication of what he thinks would be the
best basis for having a strong Social Security reform that
modernizes and protects the solvency of Social Security, but also
ensures that the basic guarantee benefit that people have counted
on is still a basic guaranteed benefit that is not contingent on
the ups and downs or volatility of the market.
That does not mean one can close down the door in a
safe and prudent and non-political way looking for Social
Security to get some of the higher returns that virtually every
pension plan in the United States is able to achieve.
Q
What's impeachment going to do with the
President's initiatives? Have you had any soundings on the Hill,
because there are many statements made that your programs won't
go anywhere as long as this prevails.
MR. SPERLING: If I've learned anything over the last
year it's that I don't see why anybody has any confidence they
can predict anything that's going to happen. And what that
really means for us is that we just go forward with our policy
proposals. There has always been serious interest in Social
Security on both the Democrat and Republican side, and that's for
a simple reason: Because our constituents, the people who
elected the President and elected the members of Congress feel
this is one of, if not the most critical, domestic issue facing
this country over the next few decades, and I think there will be
a strong demand for us to deal with this in a productive and
comprehensive and bipartisan fashion.
Q
As far as timing goes, would it be productive to
introduce any details to a proposal prior to the ending of the
Senate trial, or should something like that wait until the
conclusion of the process?
MR. SPERLING: I really have nothing to add to what
I've already said.
Q
Gene, there's been articles recently that the
President might favor using the surplus, tying the surplus
directly to private savings accounts. How is that being viewed
at this point?
MR. SPERLING: Again, I'm going to do what any good
staffer should do, which is I'll let the President speak on the
issue in the State of the Union on January 19th. I think what
has been reported is that we are certainly looking
comprehensively and certainly we have as we have always done
for the last few years, are looking not only at Social Security
reform, but ways to strengthen the other two legs of the
retirement policy stool, which certainly include strengthening an
increase of access of pensions and individual savings, but that
has been a policy we have had for several years, just to look
across the board. So there are a number of things that the
President is reviewing now.
Q
Thank you.
