9to5, National Association of Working Women endorses President Clinton's
Economic Plan. We believe the emphasis of the plan is where it belongs, focused on
working families. We support the plan's expressed interest in expanding the Earned
Income Tax Credit, health care reform and investment in education. We are also in
favor of shifting the tax burden to the wealthiest Americans, creating a new sense of
economic equity and faimess.

Dear Senator Moynihan:
As you know, the Hollywood Women's Political Committee worked incredibly hard in
the 1992 election cycle to help elect President Clinton as well as a Democratic
Congress.
Before the elections, we knew that the road to recovery after twelve years of
Republican rule would not be swift or easy. We knew there would be many tough
choices and sacrifices to be made.
Last night, in his economic address, President Clinton took the first step to real
recovery by telling the American people the truth. We applaud his call to invest in
the economy, lower the deficit and increase taxes on those who have benefited most
from the last twelve years under Bush and Reagan. Moreover, we commend
Clinton's veracity and his willingness to tackle the difficult issues in the name of real
and practical long term solutions. President Clinton has not chosen a comfortable or
popular path, but a courageous plan that he believes will bring positive change and
prosperity to our nation.
As his plan moves through Congress, we hope that the divisiveness fomented by
lobbyists, special interest groups and Political Action Committees does not prevail
over a unified nation. We urge you to show your support for the President's
economic agenda and hope that you will work with him to make it a reality.
As President Clinton has so often acknowledged, we all have a responsibility in
fostering a stronger, healthier and more prosperous nation by working and sacrificing
together. We can no longer afford to have infighting undermine progress.
HWC
Please lend the President your support on this vital first step of the Clinton
Administration.
We look forward to further conversations as the specifics of the plan unfold.
Sincerely,

NEWS RELEASE
FOR RELEASE AFTER PRESIDENT CLINTON'S 9 P.M.
STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH
February 17, 1993
STATEMENT BY BECKY CAIN,
PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF THE UNITED STATES,
ON PRESIDENT CLINTON'S PROPOSED ECONOMIC PACKAGE
The President's program is a solid program. It is fair. It will be
effective in getting our country going again.
This plan provides concrete ways to reduce the federal budget deficit, and
insists that all of us pay our fair share toward deficit reduction.
We are especially pleased that 70 percent of all new revenue brought in by
the package will come from Americans earning $100,000 and up. Such
Americans make up the upper five to six percent of all taxpayers. The tax
burden in this plan is fairly placed.
Equally heartening are the President's proposals for programs that improve
and enhance the quality of life. We strongly support the initiatives for
education and training, particularly increased federal funding for Head
Start; preventive health care; and children's vaccination and immunization
programs.
Defense spending will be cut significantly, and this is appropriate and
necessary. The League has long believed that our political leaders should
assess the impact of U.S. military spending on the nation's economy and on
the government's ability to meet social and environmental needs. We
commend the President for strong action in this area.
Under President Clinton's economic plan, middle-class Americans will get
more bang for their tax bucks. They, and indeed all Americans, will
benefit from the increased number of jobs, lower interest rates, and
investments in areas that will vastly improve their lives, and their
children's lives. Deficit reduction will be achieved, with the
accompanying benefits to our economy.

The Woman's National Democratic Club endorses the President's
Economic Plan enthusiastically. We support his core philosophies
of shifting the emphasis in spending from consumption to
investment; of honoring families in reality, not just rhetorically;
of deficit reduction; and fairness overall. The President has
defined the problems we face forthrightly. He has outlined his
vision of what the future can hold for this nation if we come
together and make some tough choices now. We support his vision
and so the members of WNDC are willing to pay higher taxes now to
reduce the deficit - but also to pay for better healthcare,
investment in new productivity enhancing technology, environmental
clean-up, energy efficiency, and programs to provide preventive
care and early support to poor women and children. While noone
likes to pay higher taxes, we feel the potential returns far
outweigh the small sacrifice the President is asking us to make
now.

President Bill Clinton's Requests for Additional AIDS Funding
Statement by Daniel T. Bross
Executive Director, AIDS Action Council
For the first time in the history of the AIDS epidemic, the President of the
United States demonstrated his recognition of the depth of the problem our nation
faces by requesting supplemental AIDS funding as a mid-course correction.
President Clinton's request for $320 million in additional funding for fighting AIDS
through the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources (CARE) Act in FY 1993
and FY 1994, along with additional funds through other programs, is a critical step
in bringing sufficient resources to bear on this terrible crisis.
We welcome President Clinton's leadership. We will work in support of this
proposal and work with Congress to make sure that every aspect of the fight against
AIDS-prevention, care and research-get all the resources that are needed to finally
1875
launch a real fight against this problem.

Washington, DC 20515
Dear Doris:
We haven't had a chance to meet, but I wanted to share hospitals'
statement on the President's address to Congress last evening and
what we are saying to our hospital members.
We are encouraged by the President's commitment to health care
reform and to treat all parties fairly. As Yoshi Honkawa
mentioned, hospitals stand for change and are ready to assist the
Administration with comprehensive reform that control costs,
ensures universal coverage, and organizes care to improve health.
Our vision of health care reform is consistent with yours in many
ways. During the campaign, the President called for the
establishment of local health care networks. Our vision of
community care networks -- local networks of providers, caring for
an enrolled population and paid on a capitated basis -- is
consistent with your view. We believe that networks would put in
place the kinds of incentives that control costs and keep people
healthy.
We would like to initiate a cooperative working relationship with
you and the new Administration. An opportunity for a brief meeting
with you to exchange views and explore ways we can work together
would be appreciated. I know these are hectic times for you and
your staff. But given the importance of health care reform, we
would like to begin a working relationship with you as soon as
possible.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Christine W. McEntee

A Message to AHA Members from Dick Davidson
with his February 17 speech, President Clinton gave the movement
toward health care reform new energy and momentum.
In the context of repairing the national economy, the President
placed an important and difficult challenge before us. He has
asked for shared sacrifice by all Americans, including hospitals.
His goals are goals we share: deficit reduction, more jobs and
economic growth. Hospitals know firsthand the effect the economy
has had on the communities they serve.
President Clinton has challenged us because he has proposed to the
Congress a set of short-term Medicare actions that will cause real
pain, particularly to many small rural and urban institutions
already in financial peril. Two-thirds of the nation's hospitals
must subsidize the cost of treating Medicare patients. We will be
strong and clear in articulating that the effect on some
communities may be additional sacrifice in the form of less access
to care and lost jobs. We are analyzing the President's proposals
to see if they stand the test of fairness in relation to the
overall economic plan.
But by the same token, the President has also challenged us by
directly linking these actions to health care reform. By terming
his Medicare actions "stop-gap," he seems to be signaling that
reform has to mean real change -- more than continuing to try to
make today's badly broken payment system work. What's more
important, he made a public pledge that his reform plan will be --
and these are the President's words -- "fair to providers and
consumers of health care."
We are at the beginning of a long process of working for change in
the way health services in America are paid for and delivered. At
the same time we are vigilant about today's needs and pressures, we
have to keep our eye on the target. We have the best opportunity
ever to make our vision of a reinvented health care system --
community care networks providing access to affordable high quality
care for everyone -- a reality.

AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION STATEMENT
PRESIDENT CLINTON: THE ECONOMIC PLAN
Attribute: Dick Davidson, AHA President
February 18, 1993
with President Clinton's speech, the move toward health care reform
took on new energy and momentum. In the context of repairing the
national economy, the President asked for a shared sacrifice by all
Americans, including hospitals. His goals of deficit reduction,
more jobs, and economic growth are the right ones -- ones hospitals
share. We know first hand the effect the economy has had on the
communities we serve.
In the short-term, the interim measures the President has proposed
to cap increases in Medicare payments to providers will create
genuine hardship, particularly to many rural and urban hospitals
already in financial peril. Today, two thirds of the nation's
hospitals must subsidize the cost of treating Medicare patients.
That proposal will have to stand the test of fairness.
But in the long-term, the most important point is that Mr. Clinton
linked these stop-gap actions directly to the need for health care
reform. The critical message he delivered to the American people
was his steadfast commitment, indeed passion, to real and fair
health care reform.

Cable Address AMHOSP
February 16, 1993
Dear Chief Executive Officer:
I wanted to share with you in advance what we're hearing and our
best reading of how health care providers will be affected when
President Clinton unveils his economic package in his Wednesday,
February 17 address to Congress.
Few details were out over the long weekend and the President's
Monday night speech made only a brief reference to health care.
Press reports have been sketchy and no official documents have
surfaced. But here's what we've been able to learn: President
Clinton's economic plan will include substantial Medicare budget
savings over the next four years. It is possible that a freeze on
the Medicare prospective payment system update factor will be
included for between one and two years.
We also understand that the President is likely to "signal" that
there will be a second stage of his economic plan in the context
of either his budget, to be released in March, or the announcement
of his health reform plan, probably in May or June. It will
contain two parts. First, increased taxes, presumably emphasizing
"sin" taxes to pay for expanded access. And second, private
sector health care cost containment that could be in the form of
insurance premium increase limits.
How should hospitals respond? First, it is in the best interest
of the communities which hospitals serve that the nation's economy
gets back on track. A strong economy generates job growth and
health coverage in the private sector. To achieve deficit
reduction and economic growth, the President has asked for shared
sacrifice from the American people. His Medicare actions are
certain to be part of a wide-ranging set of spending cuts and tax
hikes with no one sector being singled out. We expect him to frame
the Medicare constraints as a first step in cost containment while
Mrs. Clinton's task force puts together the comprehensive reform
plan.
It is essential that we not overreact. Hospitals must not be
isolated from their communities, appearing to want more when
everyone else is being asked to accept less in a national effort
to repair the economy. We must remain focused on the most
important goal: real health care reform.
By the same token, the Administration and the public must
understand how the actions will affect hospitals and communities.
We will analyze the new proposals in the context of other federal
cutbacks and the current, serious shortfall in Medicare payments
With 20 percent of the nation's hospitals in financial peril and
nearly two-thirds of all hospitals subsidizing the cost of treating
Medicare patients, the action could have a serious, harmful impact
in some communities, including hospital closures, job losses and
further erosion of already vulnerable rural and urban institutions.
And we will analyze the details of the President's proposal
thoroughly to determine if we are being treated fairly in the
context of the President's overall plan.
It will be critical to know how the Medicare action deals with
wages and salaries, whether or not it penalizes hospitals for
changes in the general economy, volume shifts or case mix, and if
there is a limited exceptions process to address special
situations. These and other issues will be thoroughly debated in
the Congress, and hospitals will participate vigorously.
Finally, I must emphasize again the need to look at these proposals
in relationship to achieving our vision of health care reform. We
must not look at this action too narrowly. We must assess the
extent to which we are moving toward universal access and the
restructuring of the delivery system around community care
networks.
Hospitals are for reform. We will be skeptical of any actions that
continue the arbitrary ratcheting-down of today's badly-broken
Medicare payment system. They would be in no one's best interest.
We will be communicating with you again directly when more is known
and we've had an opportunity to analyze the President's actions.
Please read AHA News for coverage of the Administration's actions
on the economy, the budget and health reform and for specific news
on AHA's course in the days ahead.

PRESS STATEMENT OF LAWRENCE A. MCANDREWS
PRESIDENT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS
AND RELATED INSTITUTIONS
ON PRESIDENT CLINTON'S EMPHASIS ON CHILDREN
IN TONIGHT'S ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE
February 17, 1993
Children's hospitals applaud President Clinton's emphasis on
investing in children as part of his economic stimulus package to
be previewed this evening. We are encouraged by his clear
understanding of the special needs of America's 64 million
children.
Many details of the President's budget remain to be seen.
But we know from our participation in a briefing for children's
advocates at the White House yesterday that this package will
expand programs like Head Start and WIC that have proven to work
for children and will invest in both preventive health and
economic security for children. We understand that the President
expects to make $150 billion in new investments in children and
families over the next three years.
This is a good beginning for children. Clearly, this
Administration understands that we must pay a little now for
children or we will surely pay more later. In a study of measles
cases admitted to children's hospitals in recent years, charges
averaged $3,761 per child. Total charges for children with
whooping cough admitted to our hospitals exceeded $2.5 million.
These astronomical figures could have been prevented. And now
they will be.
Two years ago our hospitals took to Capitol Hill with
buttons that read, "Don't balance the budget on the backs of
children." Children were nowhere in past public policy debates.
Now we are heartened to see women and children first in
reboarding the ship of state.
We view this package as a harbinger of the future of
children's health. We encourage President Clinton to make this
theme of investing in our children a hallmark of his entire
Administration. And when the criticism begins, the American
people will find out once and for all who's really for kids and
who's just kidding.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 18, 1993
AFGE RESPONDS TO CLINTON'S PROPOSED FEDERAL EMPLOYEE PAY FREEZE
John N. Sturdivant, national president of the American Federation of
Government Employees, AFL-CIO, today issued the following statement concerning
President Clinton's announcement to freeze federal pay:
"Last night President Clinton sent an unnecessarily negative and
demoralizing signal to the same federal employees he will need to succeed.
"The proposed pay freeze asks these dedicated employees to pay more than
their fair share. In fact, President Clinton has asked them to pay twice--
once as citizens paying higher taxes and again as employees who will have
their standard of living reduced by a pay freeze.
"AFGE has always stood firaly in opposition to such proposals. They are
short sighted and counter productive, whether proposed by Republican or
Democratic administrations. We will oppose these as well with the same vigor
and determination we used to defeat the misguided proposals of the past. We
will be making our presence known in Congress as we search for ideas or
alternatives.
"While President Clinton's goals of reducing the deficit and increasing
investment are admirable, be must understand that they will come to pass only
if he can count on the support and creativity of the career workforce, which
even today keeps the government operating as he struggles to fill key
political and policy-making positions.
"Tragically these pay proposals undermine this needed support in that
they only serve to expand by some 2.3 million the number of workers who are
working longer hours for less pay.
"During the transition AFGE repeatedly met with Clinton officials in
response to requests for ideas to send positive signals to the federal
workforce and forge a new partnership between the President and career
employees. We deeply regret that the Clinton administration has decided to
scuttle that approach in favor of business as usual."
The American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, is the largest
union for federal workers, representing some 700,000 government employees in
the United States and overseas, as well as employees of the District of

TEAMSTERS' POSITION
ON
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
Over one hundred years ago the Interstate Commerce Commission
("ICC") was created to regulate transportation services provided by
railroads. In the 1930s the ICC's regulatory authority was
extended to the motor carrier industry. In both instances, the
purposes and intent was the same: the public interest required that
transportation services, which are critical to the growth and
stabilization of our nation's economy, be subject to governmental
oversight. Absent some economic regulation, cutthroat competition
among carriers had led to numerous bankruptcies and discriminatory
and inadequate service. The ICC, pursuant to the Interstate
Commerce Act and the Motor Carrier Act, was established to put an
end to or at least curtail these problems for the betterment of all
Americans.
Economic regulation by the ICC worked. Insofar as motor
carrier transportation was concerned, by exerting some restriction
on entry supply was controlled so that there were an adequate
number of companies to provide efficient and stable service at
rates which allowed them to earn a small but reasonable profit.
Equally important, by requiring all motor carriers to file their
rates with the ICC and adhere to those rates, all industry
participants -- both carriers and shippers -- were insured of
having knowledge of all market prices. This knowledge helped to
create competition. By prohibiting rate discrimination, however,
governmental regulation enabled small business to obtain
transportation rates which allowed them to compete against the
larger more powerful companies.
Transportation is critical to the operation of all businesses.
Indeed, that is why government insists upon modern highways that
are open to all users. Through taxes all individuals and
businesses contribute towards the creation and maintenance of an
infrastructure which allows prompt and safe transportation to be
provided. Clearly, government would never allow our roads to be
privatized; they must remain public for the benefit of all users on
an equal basis.
Similarly, the role of government, i.e., the ICC, has been to
make sure that favorable and secret rate arrangements and/or
discriminatory rates are not permitted as a device to drive smaller
companies out of business. History has demonstrated that without
economic regulation of transportation larger shippers will coerce
carriers into sweetheart rate agreements. By insisting that
carriers provide them with preferential rates, large and powerful
shippers have destroyed their smaller competitors. In addition, it
has been shown that without regulatory oversight these economically
powerful shippers force carriers to provided below cost rates which

inevitably result in bankruptcy.
Public filing and enforcement of transportation rates by the
ICC did away with the secret, under the table, rebates which
permitted large shippers to destroy small businesses. Controlling
entry and mandating that reasonable rates be charged, which were
not unduly high or below cost, insured fair prices to shippers and
adequate profits to carriers. Shippers cold enter new markets and
carriers were able to operate safely, replace their equipment and
provide service to all areas of the country.
In the 1980s, the deregulatory fervor advocated by the Reagan-
Bush Republican Administrations effectively did away with
government oversight of motor carrier transportation. As a result,
hundreds of efficient motor carriers have gone bankrupt and
hundreds of thousands of workers have lost their jobs. Rather than
increasing competition among motor carriers, deregulation has
greatly increased the market share of the largest carriers. While
thousands of small one and two truck companies enter and exit the
market yearly, the number of less than truckload carriers who need
terminals and other facilities has dramatically fallen. While big
shippers have fared well, smaller shippers have not experienced
improved rates and now face decreased service options.
Regulation of the motor carrier industry by the ICC is as
necessary today as it was 50 years ago. Public filing and
adherence to non-discriminatory rates is a policy which furthers
the public interest and the growth of small businesses. The ICC
should be strengthened, not eliminated.

STATEMENT OF HORACE B. DEETS
AARP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
February 17, 1993
President Clinton promised that he would call for bold action to
repair the nation's economy and reduce the deficit, and that he
has done. We applaud his commitment to comprehensive health care
reform and we share his conviction that all our efforts on the
economy will fail in the absence of system-wide health care cost
containment. The package outlined by the President is a genuine
attempt at shared sacrifice. Closer analysis makes it obvious
that the package can be made more equitable.
AARP and its members agree that there needs to be effective
deficit reduction. Older Americans have sacrificed many times in
past years, and are willing to pay their fair share for the sake
of their country. But to meet this goal the program outlined in
the speech needs improvement:
* The President's plan calls for increased taxation on Social
Security benefits, even though Social Security is not adding
a penny to the deficit. Those hardest hit will be seven
million middle income older Americans, who already are
feeling the effects of skyrocketing medical costs and
declining interest rates. A retired couple with only
$40,000 income would face increased federal taxes of just
over $600.
*
The increase in the Medicare Part B premium will affect all
but the lowest income elderly, adding another $10.00 per
month (for a total Part B premium of over $720.00 annually)
in 1998.
* A 5-year, $53 billion reduction in Medicare payments to
hospitals, doctors and other providers coming on top of cuts
totalling over $100 billion over the last decade potentially
threatens access and quality of health care for millions of
older Americans. Further, the magnitude of the Medicare
reductions could lead to further cost-shifting to businesses
and workers.
As important as our concern about shared sacrifice is the concern
that the proposed savings from Medicare and increased payroll
taxes are not dedicated to financing health care reform, but
instead are used to offset the deficit. Regrettably, some of the
measures proposed this evening do not address the root cause of
increasing health care costs and may preclude options which later
will be needed to make good on the President's health care reform
goal.
A deficit reduction package targeted at Medicare and Medicaid
without comprehensive health care reform and system-wide cost
containment fails to address the single largest contributor to
our rising deficit. We eagerly await the Administration's
health reform proposal, which will enable us to evaluate the
combined impact of these measures.
We share the President's goals of a strong and growing economy,
comprehensive health reform, and long-term deficit reduction. In
pursuing these goals, we must be concerned about the cumulative
effect of these proposals on moderate-income seniors. AARP
pledges to work with both the Administration and Congress to find
the means to improve the economic plan to ensure that it meets
the President's goals of equitably shared sacrifice.

Mr. President:
The undersigned members of the Coalition for Fiscal Restraint
(COFIRE) strongly support your recognition of the need to reduce
federal deficit spending.
We share your concern that continued deficit spending is a
serious threat to long-term economic growth and to the living
standard of current and future generations, and we are writing to
offer assistance in your efforts to address this problem.
As background, COFIRE was organized in late 1988 for the
primary purpose of urging deficit reduction through restraints on
the growth of federal spending. We have also taken various other
stands, including support for budget process reform.
Our membership consists of trade associations, corporations,
and citizens' groups which represent in aggregate more than 15
million businesses, employees, and private citizens.
We were encouraged by your comments during the Little Rock
economic summit in December that "a new and different kind of
(budget) enforcement mechanism" may be needed. This new process
should enforce the elimination or reduction of low priority
spending measures.
We have supported reform of the Congressional budget process
in the past, and we believe that, as a part of such reform, the
president should be given a stronger voice in budget matters.
On this latter point, we are encouraged by your support for
a line-item veto and would, as in the past, be pleased to assist in
any efforts to obtain this authority for the president.
We have long supported a balanced budget amendment that
provides for a sufficient anchor on total spending and taxes.
To: The President
February 11, 1993
Page 2.
It is our conviction that tax increases are more apt to stifle
the very economic growth which provides federal tax revenues and
our concern that, based on historical precedent, revenue from tax
increases has seldom, if ever, gone toward deficit reduction.
We are encouraged by your views on the need to curb the growth
of federal entitlements. Clearly, there can be little progress on
deficit reduction if those portions of the federal budget most
responsible for creating the deficits remain untouchable.
We would be pleased to work with your Administration for some
formula which would slow the growth of these entitlements programs,
specifically in the area of health care.
Finally, we are optimistic that you will exercise leadership
to restore the discipline required both to promote economic growth
today and to assure fiscal soundness for future generations.
Such discipline will require hard choices on the part of the
Congress and of your Administration. To the extent that we can
help, however, we hope you will call on us.

BUSINESS LEADER URGES ASSOCIATION AND
BUSINESS SUPPORT OF CLINTON PROPOSAL
WASHINGTON, DC, March 10, 1993 - Neil H. Offen, a Washington, DC-based trade
association community leader, is calling for the business community to put aside partisan disputes and
work to enact President Clinton's economic plan. Offen stated that small, medium and large size
businesses should rally behind President Clinton's efforts to break the gridlock in Washington. "All
trade and professional associations should serve as role models for their constituencies and work for
the long-term good of the nation. We must look ten and 20 years down the road and take action
today that will safeguard the well-being of our country tomorrow. Such actions may entail sacrifice
on our parts, but such sacrifices in reality are necessary investments for the future prosperity of the
American business community and the American entrepreneur."
Offen, who each year addresses and meets with tens of thousands of people across the nation,
went on to state that he consistently sees a willingness on the part of Americans of all stripes and
economic strata to make sacrifices for the good of the country as long as they believe the system is
fair. "No one wants to be made a fool of or see others abuse the system and get away with it. Bill
Clinton's honest approach to economic realities and shared sacrifices gives us a chance to restore the
Offen - Page two
American dream to our children and grandchildren. However," Offen continued, "further, substantial
spending cuts must be put forward by the Administration to maintain credibility with the public and I
know that the White House is exploring such cuts."
"I believe," Offen concluded, "that all so-called 'special interests' must show flexibility, as
well as greater vision, for the common good and I urge both Democrats and Republicans to work
together with President Clinton to restore fiscal responsibility to our nation and protect our future."
Offen is president of a national trade association that represents approximately 4.5 million small
business men and women and 140 corporations. Offen also serves as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Council of Better Business Bureaus and is a member of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce's Association Committee of 100. He is a former Vice-Chairman of the Board of the
American Society of Association Executives, the professional organization for trade and professional
association leaders, and is a former board member of the American Retail Federation. Offen served
on the board of the Ethics Resource Center, a non-profit group which promotes ethical behavior in
business and government and co-chaired the board of the Democratic Business Council from 1988 to
1992.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Clinton Economic Plan Supports United Methodist Principles, But Could Go Further
A Statement by Reverend Thom White Wolf Fassett, General Secretary
After a review by the staff of the General Board of Church and Society of President Clinton's
economic plan, I have concluded that it supports many of the statements in the Social Principles and
resolutions adopted by the General Conference of The United Methodist Church. However, I am
calling on President Clinton to make further cuts in defense programs and to make further efforts to
assist poor people and protect the environment.
The Clinton plan intends to provide an economic stimulus to help the United States economy
out of recession, to provide long-term investments in economic growth and jobs, and to reduce the
deficit. The plan moves toward these goals while accomplishing much that would move the country
toward the long stated public policy goals of The United Methodist Church.
The President's proposal is fair to poor and working people.
The Clinton plan pays for needed reductions in the federal deficit while addressing both the
long-term and the short-term needs of poorer people through expansion of some of the most cost-
effective anti-poverty programs, such as Head Start, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
program, the Earned Income Tax Credit, Food Stamps, and the Low-Income Energy Assistance
Program. The United Methodist Church has called for systemic changes affecting children and their
families.* Expansion of these programs is needed both because of the increasing numbers of poor
persons in the United States and to offset the regressive effects of the energy tax in the plan.
The President's proposal focuses on developing new jobs for both the short term and the long
term.
In communities across the United States, the decline in the number and kinds of jobs has been
and continues to be a key component of an on-going social and economic crisis. Communities thrive
when they have a diverse job base, not just a few wealthy individuals. The United Methodist Social
Principles states that the government has the responsibility to implement policies that ensure "full
employment and adequate incomes.
The Clinton plan strongly targets its job creation opportunities on young persons in cities and
rural areas, community development, veteran retraining, environmental improvement, and the
development of infrastructures and technologies for the future. This approach will be of immediate
assistance to the many unemployed youth in our country and will help assure that there are real jobs
in their, and our, future.
The plan needs to go further. The youth employment program needs to be permanent, not
temporary. The lowest paid federal workers should not receive pay freezes as proposed. Reducing
corporate tax write-offs still further could easily pay for a modest pay raise for the lowest paid
workers and an expansion of job programs. I am also deeply concerned that the plan does not
provide funds for construction of public housing for low-income, elderly, and disabled persons.
The President's proposal shifts the emphasis of government funding from war related
investments to constructive development.
The Clinton plan makes significant cuts in the weapons program of the United States, while
providing funds for the retraining of persons employed by the defense industry. In so doing,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Clinton Economic Plan is a Bold First Step,
March 16, 1993
But Must Be Fair To All, House Panel Told
WASHINGTON - The nation's second-largest senior advocacy organization
today praised the basic tenets of President Bill Clinton's economic plan, but raised
questions about whether the tax burden will be shared equitably.
Martha McSteen, president of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and
Medicare, told the House Ways and Means Committee that the organization, with 6
million members and supporters nationwide, "clearly supports the serious deficit
reduction proposal the president has made."
"National Committee members understand that deficit reduction is not painless: it
requires shared sacrifice," sald Mrs. McSteen, who headed the Social Security
Administration from 1983-86.
"But when we look at the whole package," Mrs. McSteen said, "we wonder
whether the economic plan is fair to all seniors."
Seniors are being asked to pay "a disproportionate share of the deficit reduction"
through proposals to increase taxes on Social Security benefits and cut Medicare funding
as well as the proposed energy tax, Mrs. McSteen sald.
Although the White House plan would raise Income taxes only on the top 1
percent of American workers (those earning more than $100,000), it would boost taxes
for most seniors with incomes down to $25,000 -- about 23 percent of seniors, Mrs.
McSteen said. In addition, because Social Security benefits are not indexed for inflation,
more and more seniors will wind up paying greater income taxes because of "bracket
creep," Mrs. McSteen said.
Mrs. McSteen said the President's plan to help low-income families hurt by parts
of his plan "will probably not do enough for senior Americans." Increased funding for
the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and food stamps will help some
low-income seniors hurt by the energy tax, but low-income seniors will benefit little
from the expansion of the earned-income tax credit.

As a reaction to the President's economic program, it seens to me the operative
words here are to be "critically constructive ." as opposed to "negatively
partisan". The country didn't get in this financial deficit mess in a day. It's taken
a number of years with plenty of blame for both parties. That's history.
Something has to be done - the souner the better. This program is not perfect
