Subject: Proposals for implementation in Clinton Presidency
Date: 10 Nov 92 12:03:19 GMT
Organization: VTT

The following are some proposals for implementation by the Clinton
Administration.  By implementation i mean by legal means which often
include Congressional action (this qualification is made because some-
one objected to a proposal i made as being something a president could
not do by him/herself.  The things you have to do to avoid meaningless
flames!).

I am sure that not every Clinton voter will support each of these
proposals.  If you have a comment on one, please edit the subject
line so that threads may be distinguished.  

Responses from those who didn't vote for Clinton are not desired.  You
lost the election so your input as to what Clinton should do at this 
point would just be sour grapes.  

I request that discussion be on the issues, not on the poster.
