MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

SUBJECT:       Importation of RU-486


In Import Alert 66-47, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") excluded the
drug Mifepristine -- commonly known as RU-486 -- from the list of drugs that
individuals can import into the United States for their "personal use,"
although the drugs have not yet been approved for distribution by the FDA.
(See FDA Regulatory Procedures Manual, Chapter 9-71.)  Import Alert 66-47
effectively bans the importation into this Nation of a drug that is used in
other nations as a nonsurgical means of abortion.

I am informed that in excluding RU-486 from the personal use importation
exemption, the FDA appears to have based its decision on factors other than an
assessment of the possible health and safety risks of the drug.  Accordingly, I
hereby direct that you promptly instruct the FDA to determine whether there is
sufficient evidence to warrant exclusion of RU-486 from the list of drugs that
qualify for the personal use importation exemption.  Furthermore, if the FDA
concludes that RU-486 meets the criteria for the personal use importation
exemption, I direct that you immediately take steps to rescind Import Alert
66-47.

In addition, I direct that you promptly assess initiatives by which the
Department of Health and Human Services can promote the testing, licensing, and
manufacturing in the United States of RU-486 or other antiprogestins.

You are hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the
Federal Register.

                   MEMORANDUM FOR THE ACTING DIRECTOR
                    OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

 The Council on Competitiveness, established March 31, 1989,
 terminated on January 20, 1993.

 Pending completion of a review, existing Executive orders on
 regulatory management will continue to apply.  You are directed to
 request the agencies described in section 1(d) of Executive Order
 12291 to assure that in publishing regulations, and subject to such
 exceptions as the Director or the Acting Director of the Office of
 Management and Budget determines to be appropriate, all regulations
 must first be approved by an agency head or the designee of an agency
 head who, in either case, is a person appointed by me and confirmed
 by the Senate.

 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

 SUBJECT:       Privately Funded Abortions at Military Hospitals


 Section 1093 of title 10 of the United States Code prohibits the use
 of Department of Defense ("DOD") funds to perform abortions except
 where the life of a woman would be endangered if the fetus were
 carried to term.  By memoranda of December 21, 1987, and June 21,
 1988, DOD has gone beyond what I am informed are the requirements of
 the statute and has banned all abortions at U.S. military facilities,
 even where the procedure is privately funded.  This ban is
 unwarranted.  Accordingly, I hereby direct that you reverse the ban
 immediately and permit abortion services to be provided, if paid for
 entirely with non-DOD funds and in accordance with other relevant DOD
 policies and procedures.

 You are hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in
 the Federal Register.

A valiant effort -- I wish them well, but their business chances may not
be all that good. Dan Quayle was one in a million, and the satirical
"quarterly" industry will sorely miss him. I mean, "Slick's" detractors
have been trying to get people laugh at him for a year and it hasn't
really caught on. You've gotta admire stick-to-it-iveness though.

On the other hand, Saturday Night Live can lampoon him pretty good, as
usual. Why is it funnier when liberals do it?

             Q    How do you like your new office, Mr. President?

             THE PRESIDENT:  I like it a lot.  It's a wonderful
office.

             Q    Did you read the note that President Bush left for
you?

             THE PRESIDENT:  I did.

             Q    What did that say?

             THE PRESIDENT:  I think we should leave it between the
two us, but it was a very generous note and a very encouraging one.

             Q    Mr. President, what are you doing in pursuit of a
new nominee for the attorney generalship?  How are you going about
this?

             THE PRESIDENT:  I did some work on it yesterday
afternoon and had several extended conversations with people about
potential nominees and gave my staff some instructions to go do some
work on three or four folks.

             Q    Three or four -- men?

             THE PRESIDENT:  Three or four people.  (Laughter.)  I'm
not going to say who --

             Q    Have you talked to any prospective nominees
directly?

             Q    -- so far -- how's it gone so far?

             THE PRESIDENT:  So far I've liked it very much.

             Q    -- surprises so far?

             THE PRESIDENT:  We just got started, you know.  I've got
a lot --

             Q    Will you be keeping Mr. Sessions on?

             THE PRESIDENT:  I don't want to talk about --

             Q    What are you going to do for the rest of the day,
Mr. President?

             THE PRESIDENT:   Work.

             Q    Not jogging?

             THE PRESIDENT:  No, I'm going to go out for a jog later.
And I'm going to do a little work, and I'm trying to get the house
acclimated, get organized.

                   DEATH OF THURGOOD MARSHALL

                          - - - - - - -

        BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

                         A PROCLAMATION


     Thurgood Marshall, an African-American born and reared
in segregated America, was a fundamental force of change in this
Nation.  Perhaps no other American lawyer has had more impact on
the current meaning and content of the U.S. Constitution.  As the
leading attorney for the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Education
Fund, Justice Marshall's twenty-nine victories before the
U.S. Supreme Court breathed life into the text of the Fourteenth
Amendment and guaranteed all Americans equality and liberty in
their individual choices concerning voting, housing, education,
and travel.  As an appeals court judge, the Solicitor General of
the United States and, finally, Supreme Court Justice, he worked
tirelessly to expand and protect his vision of justice for
America.  As our Nation begins to chart its course for the next
century, it is fitting that we pause to honor and remember the
courageous, purposeful life of Thurgood Marshall.

     As a mark of respect for the memory of Thurgood
Marshall, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, I hereby order by the authority vested in me
as President of the United States of America by section 175 of
title 36 of the United States Code, that the flag of the United
States shall be flown at half-staff upon all public buildings
and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on
all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of
Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories
and Possessions until his interment.  I also direct that the
flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time
at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices,
and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities
and naval vessels and stations.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this twenty-fourth day of January, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of
the United States of American the two hundred and seventeenth.

                                   WILLIAM J. CLINTON

Zippy.  How outrageous.  I remember a few weeks reading how the cartoonist
was insulting readers who didn't appreciate his deep insightful dark
sarcasm and the intensity of his art.  I suppose I can handle getting
ranked about my sense of humor by anyone who thinks there's anything all
that witty and wonderful about Zippy.

Probably, Bobcat Goldthwait, comedian/actor.  Least famous for his 
contribution to cinematrography, "Shakes the Clown."  If you've seen 
HBO's Comic Relief, you've seen him.  Wasn't he also in the earlier 
Police Academy series?

 President Instructs Staff to Follow Strict Ethics Rules

 Jan. 21, 1993 -- President Bill Clinton today called on his White
 House staff to uphold the highest possible ethical standards and to
 put the needs of the American people ahead of personal ambitions.

 "We just have to be dominated by high standards and clear vision and
 we ought to have a good time doing it," the president said at his
 first meeting with senior White House staff members.

 The meeting, held in the historic Roosevelt Room in the White House's
 West Wing, came one day after Clinton, in his first official act as
 President, signed an executive order establishing the most stringent
 ethical requirements of any administration ever.

 Executive Order No. 1 requires all senior appointees to pledge that
 they will refrain from:

 * Lobbying during the five years after they leave government any
 agency where they have served or which they have had any
 responsibility for as a member of the White House staff;

 * Engaging in any activity on behalf of any foreign government
 at any time after they leave government service;

 * Representing any foreign government or foreign corporation in
 any way within five years of being involved in a trade negotiation
 on behalf of the U.S. government.

    "The ethics rules that we have put forward," said the president,
 "will guarantee that the members of this administration will be
 looking out for the American people and not for themselves."

Why?  Rush ain't funny.  He's a rank-out artist.  Never thought it
was funny in high school, don't think so now.  Unless it is lampooned.
Now that would be funny, a good lampoon of Rush.

      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.

	Are you sure?    Your thoughts are in no way influenced by the way
the "media" filter information (good and bad) to you?  Slight flaws in logic
are always caught and disgarded?  False propositions are always discovered,
and all resulting conclusions are expunged from your memory?  You are a
completely unbiased individual?  Have you applied for Sainthood yet?

	I don't think so.  However, if you would care to prove it, I would
enjoy reading such a post.  People are generally shaped from an early age into
some basic set of beliefs, and will tend to listen to those that match those
beliefs.  I don't think that all media tells you what to think, just certain
sources of media (nothing radical, they present an argument and you accept it,
even though it may be unknowningly flawed in some way).  Much of what is
discussed here is opinion and speculation, anyway, not "facts".  Even the
statistics that people dig up generally come from sources that support their
opinion.  And occasionally, someone changes their mind on an issue...
