The World At The Speed of Light
The good news from Washington
is that every single person in
Congress supports the concept of
an information superhighway.
The bad news is that no one has
any idea what that means."
--Cong. Edward J. Markey

The people demand and deserve an active government on their side. But
they don't want a government that wastes money, a government that costs
more and does less. They voted for change. They wanted a literal
revolution in the way government operates, and now, you and I must
deliver.
President Bill Clinton
Remarks to the Cabinet
February 10, 1993
Today, the President has asked Vice-President Gore to lead a revolution in
Washington that will change the way government does business. The
American people deserve a government that treats them like customers.....

earnings by promoting non-traditional exports; creating jobs and income; and generating
