tripartite 
business-labor-government

more 
efficient 
transportation
(such as railroads, buses, trolley cars, and

include 
communication, 
weatherization,

lishing and maintaining an information
highway available to all educational institu-
tions and individuals at all levels of in-
come, wealth, and power; and
(K) develop American leadership in the
provision of services through such specific inno-
vations as—
(i) educational systems based on add-
ing an ‘‘r’’ for reasoning and an ‘‘r’’ for
responsibility to the traditional ‘‘reading,
‘riting, and ‘rithmetic’’;
(ii) health services oriented not only
toward better disease treatment but also
the promotion of well-being as the best
