             ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE CLINTON-GORE TICKET


                     *Business and Labor*

Roger Johnson, Chairman of Western Digital, member of The Orange County Eight
and one of thirty presidents or CEOs of some of the nation's leading high-tech
companies endorsing Clinton:
    "As a Republican who has voted for every GOP presidential candidate since
     Eisenhower in 1952, it has been an eye-opening experience to find that a
     Democratic governor from Arkansas has a far better understanding of what
     America needs than does an incumbent Republican Administration."

Kathryn Thompson, real estate developer and member of The Orange County Eight:
    "Bill Clinton can see past the moment and is therefore the most qualified
     in shaping history in America's best interest."

A group of more than 400 CEOs meeting in Chicago endorsed Clinton and Gore.

Business And Professional Women PAC, by unanimous vote.  The 7000 participants
at the B&PW convention in Minneapolis made the first presidential endorsement
in B&PW's 75-year history.  Said Chairwoman Mariwyn Heath,
    "This political action committee looked at the voting records of the
     candidates, their vetos and the power that they use for and against women,
     and took this bold step to endorse the presidential ticket of Bill Clinton
     and Al Gore." (July 28, 1992)

AFL-CIO General Board (representing all 88 unions); President Lane Kirkland:
    "Working people want a government that fights to rebuild the country's
     economic strength, provides fair opportunities and seeks--in the words of
     the Pledge of Allegiance--'liberty and justice for ALL'"

Nobel Laureates supporting Clinton's economic plan:
     Paul Samuelson, MIT, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1970
     Kenneth Arrow, Stanford, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1972

     Robert Solow, MIT, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1987


                       *Public Service*

Admiral William Crowe, Ronald Reagan's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
reappointed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by George Bush:
    "...America needs new leadership....Governor Clinton offers America the
     best choice for the future, and I strongly endorse him for President of
     the United States."  (September 19, 1992)

Fraternal Order of Police

Sierra Club; National Club President Anthony Ruckel, in rejecting Bush-Quayle:
    "We cannot trust George Bush.  He has broken every promise." (Sept. 4, 1992)


                         *Education*

National Education Association (_MEA Voice_, June 20, 1992)

American Federation of Teachers; President Albert Shanker:
    "No matter how you look at it, Clinton's candidacy represents the most
     thoughtful option out there to help change this country.  He not only
     understands the improtance of education to the nation's future, but also
     the teamwork, strategy, and resources it will take for us to get there."
                (United University Professions' _The Voice_, October, 1992)

New York State United Teachers; NYSUT President Thomas Hobart, Jr.:
    "Electing Bill Clinton is, without doubt, the most important thing we can
     do for public education and health care in this country...."


                         *Health Care*

Families USA (Washington DC, October 2, 1992)


                            *Media*

Rolling Stone Magazine (September 17, 1992); Editor Jann S. Wenner summarized:
    "Bill Clinton and Al Gore are of this generation.  They stand for what's bee
   n
     the best of it.  And as candidates, they are as good as it gets...."

Moment Magazine (October, 1992);

Weekly Forward (September 11, 1992); "...Forward's endorsement is arrived at
     with real regard for the achievement the candidates have already made in
     moving the Democratic Party back onto its historic course....In bringing
     the Democratic party back to these values in a long and bruising primary
     campaign, Mr. Clinton is rekindling the right vision for our country at a
     time when our biggest challenges are at home."

St Louis Post-Dispatch (September 20, 1992)

Detroit Free Press (October 4, 1992); "We believe that George Bush is poorly
     equipped to meet that challenge [of overcoming our weaknesses and building
     on our strengths at home], or even to understand it.  Gov. Bill Clinton is
     admirably equipped to do so."

Seattle Times (October 4, 1992); "State governments have been the cauldron of
     innovation in the last decade and Clinton has been out in front testing
     new ideas.  His record as governor, his leadership within the National
     Governors Conference and the Democratic Party, his comprehensive plans
     for the future, and his remarkably steady campaign performance make him
     the clear choice to be elected president in 1992....Clinton and Gore
     think about tomorrow.  Clinton is focused on this nation's possibilities
     for the 21st century.  Our endorsement of the Clinton-Gore ticket is an
     investment in the future."

San Jose Mercury News (October 4, 1992); "Clinton's strengths would make him
     credible candidate in any matchup for the presidency.  Measured against
     Bush's weaknesses, they seal the case.  In the last three presidential
     elections, this newspaper has not found a Democratic or Republican
     candidate we could endorse for president.  This year, we strongly
     recommend Bill Clinton."
