- OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT

- For Immediate Release January 22, 1993
-
- Statement of Vice President Al Gore
-
- Today, we are sending a clear message to the special interests
- who used the Council on Competitiveness as a back-door to avoid the
- law. That back door is closed. No longer will special interests
- receive special favors. No longer will our laws be ignored or
- undermined. No longer will decisions that should be made in public be
- made in private. In this Administration everyone will play by the
- rules and public decisions will be public information.
-
- The Council on Competitiveness was founded on a false choice;
- that the interests of workers, consumers, and the environment
- conflict with the goal of economic growth. And, rather than
- reconciling those objectives in public, the past Administration used
- the Council on Competitiveness as an excuse for special favors for
- narrow interests and back-room decisions. We are committing ourselves
- to a process that will serve the American people honestly, openly,
- and with respect for the law and their safety.
-
- President Clinton and I today reaffirm our strong support for
- policies that recognize we must ensure environmental protection to
- have strong economic growth.
