Both are dead serious on the open and barely show any affection. No fun allowed and even come to actual arguments every time.

When they're private both relax and Jack can be normal without trying hard to be taken seriously and Skye can also be cuddly without getting weird looks.

I'm just saying, when people want something verified legally, they 'get it in writing'. Saying you're not asking for it while you are, in fact, literally asking for it, just seems a little... Stupid?

I think that's a stupid shirt and she should probably stick to something that just implies sexuality instead of being so blunt about it, basically.

To me there's two different 80's feels out there. Products of their era, and products of nostalgia.

The neon colored, warm tempoed flash of arcade throwback and cool digital reality feels like a manufactured 80's ideology to me. It's definitely what you think when you imagine the decade, but not the actual product it gave to you.

The other one though feels more real to me. When you see products that look like a drugged out pop star shouted the ideas into a walkman and then some equally coked out business executives through caution to the wind in favor of doing something "fucking awesome." That's the 80's to me.

Less Drive, Blood Dragon and Hotline Miami, more Heavy Metal, Thriller and Blade Runner

I can dig it. I like both the true products of the 70's and the nostalgia!80's stuff, to be honest.

The Nostalgia!80's is just so shiny and neon, and personally i LOVE that asthetic, so i guess thats why i gravitate towards it more then the "Actual" 80's stuff, which, if im remembering my 80's movies , generally tended to be dark and gritty.. course, that could just be because i mostly watched those dark and gritty movies, ala Escape From New York, the aforementioned Blade Runner, and stuff like The Thing, T2 and Aliens.

She likely treats her employees like family, at least her on the level ones. I'd argue she'd try to be the cool mom, but I think in truth she just uses her wisdom and experience to give advice when needed.

She's likely lenient and understanding in some circumstances too. Despite that she tries to run a legitimate business.

Mostly.

Oh believe you me I love the pagentry of the presented 80's as well, but it feels a bit clear cut to me.

Dark and grim 80's was edgy, but not for the sake of controversy, but because they knew it's what sold. There was an air of "hardcore" to almost everything, ranging from grit to downright insanity, and I love all of it. Escape From New York is another great example as you mentioned. Gotta also have love for the Mad Max series

It was, after all, the transistor that launched the information age and enabled man to walk on the moon. It was Satchmo's trumpet that heralded the rise of jazz and of American music all over the world. And it was a broken block of concrete, covered in graffiti, from the Berlin Wall that announced the triumph of democracy over dictatorship. These are just some of the items that will be placed, along with scores of other objects representing the ideas and innovations that shaped the American century into our National Millennium Time Capsule.
Almost three years ago, when the White House Millennium Council began planning a celebration for the National Mall built around our theme, "To Honor the Past and Imagine the Future," we decided that an important way to capture this moment in time would be by filling a national time capsule -- filled not only with the symbols and achievements of the century just past, but with our hopes and dreams for the next.
We invited the thinkers and builders and creators of this century -- all the past recipients of our nation's highest honors in the arts and humanities, in science and technology, in citizenship and leadership -- as well as the thinkers and builders and creators of the future -- the students who are taught by the state Teachers of the Year across America. We asked them all to help us fill this time capsule, and their responses have been overwhelming.
Teachers and students nominated computers, while scientists nominated the transistors that made them possible. Bruce Penniman's (sp) English class in Amherst, Massachusetts, sent a highlighted copy of Ralph Ellison's "The Invisible Man," while novelist Philip Roth recommended works by William Faulkner and Saul Bellow. June Moore's (sp) second grade class in Laramie, Wyoming, selected the sport of baseball, while playwright August Wilson suggested a recording by Bessie Smith.

that teachers will be hired to reduce class size.
Teaching is an honorable profession, and I feel a great deal of pride and responsibility in joining the ranks. I deeply appreciate your recognizing its profound significance and fighting for the important resources that teachers need.
I thank you. My kids thank you. And we ask that you continue to increase the federal investment in learning.
Thank you.
At this time, it is now my great pleasure to introduce the first lady of the United States, Rodham .
(APPLAUSE)
H. : Well, Krystal, you ended with a lot of thank yous, but I'd like to thank you for being a teacher and for bringing your commitment to teaching and to the children who are entrusted to you to this room today, and speaking so eloquently on behalf of your profession and the students that you teach.
I'm delighted to be here with Senator Dorgan and Senator Daschle and Senators Murray and Harkin and Kennedy and Kerry to speak up on behalf of the great need we face in our country of lowering classroom size and putting qualified professionally trained teachers into our classrooms on behalf of our children.
You know, in poll after poll, the American people have spoken with one voice. Education is America's top priority. We know from parents and teachers and students that all of us want safe schools. We want modern schools that are wired so our children can be part of the information age. We want smaller classes. We want more after school programs. And we want to, just in general, make sure that our public schools are equipped well to do the job that our children need.
Now, the president and the administration have been listening to the American people, and they presented Congress with a plan to do just what the American people want in prioritizing the needs of education. And yet the Republican leadership and the Republicans in Congress denied thousands of children the ch burban areas that are just absolutely cramped.

When it came to hopes for the future, the young people and adults spoke as one: world peace, cures for cancer and AIDS, an end to hunger and racism. I was also impressed by how children were determined to shape the future for themselves. "Helping others is at the very top of my list of careers," wrote a student from Nevada, while another seven-year-old from Idaho wrote, "I wish that all children can have a loving family. I wish someday I will help the world."
In a few minutes, we will invite some of these students and leading citizens to share their nominations for the time capsule.
Now, the prototype is sitting right there. It was created by Pentagram Design, Inc., and the time capsule will be made of three metals -- steel for the industrial age, copper for the information age, and titanium for the age to come.
As you can see, it is molded in the shape of a waving American flag, symbolizing our optimistic country that is always in motion, always moving forward, always pushing back the frontiers of technology and progress, of tolerance and justice.
This prototype will go on display in the National Museum of American History. And at the end of the year, after all of the items have been received and selected, the actual time capsule will be exhibited and sealed at the National Archives, where it will remain until it is opened 100 years from today.
Throughout the weekend, the president and I invite you to visit the capital and to enjoy the various programs at the Smithsonian, from symposia on great Americans of the past and present -- Thomas Jefferson, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and B.B. King -- to sessions pondering the future of American taste and the future of American democracy. And we invite you to take your children to the story circle at the National Museum of American History. And of course, you are all invited to come to the Lincoln Memorial

25, 35, 38, 40 children, and we cannot expect children to learn and teachers to teach in that kind of environment.
We've also denied children the chance to participate in safe and enriching programs after school. This year 400,000 children were able to attend after-school activities supported by 21st century community learning-center grants. But twice as many children still have no safe place to go when they get out of school. I believe we need more after-school programs, and that's what the American people are asking for as well.
The president's budget would have tripled support for after- school programs, but again, we don't have that kind of response from the Republican leadership and the Republicans in Congress. In fact, Congress, under their leadership of the Republicans, have denied hundreds of schools the resources that they need. Today, just half the schools that need help are actually getting the extra help that they require for preparing some of our most disadvantaged children.
I hope that through efforts like this, but through the words of teachers like Krystal, particularly, we will see finally the kind of action that the president and the Democrats in Congress have been requesting.
And I particularly hope that after five years of struggling for it, we will begin to make movement on behalf of constructing and modernizing our schools.
You know, the General Accounting Office has estimated that our schools are in desperate need of more than $112 ion in repairs and construction. But the Republican leadership and the Republicans in Congress continues to ignore the president's proposal for the kinds of help that states and districts need: additional tax relief that will enable them to modernize schools which is so desperately required.
So I would call on Congress to stop delaying and pass a school construction measure.
And one of those people who has been on the front lines advocating on behalf of reducing class

But by no means will the celebration end at the stroke of midnight tonight. Throughout this millennial year, the White House Millennium Council will lead even more efforts to honor the past and imagine the future. We will continue to recruit more citizens to work together to save America's treasures, whether it's the home of a great American, such as Harriet Tubman, or letters from a soldier in wartime, or a family scrapbook that may just be sitting in the attic somewhere. We will continue to open new millennium trails in our most scenic parks and historic sites. And through the Millennium Green Program, we hope to inspire every single American to plant a tree for future generations to enjoy. And through the National Endowment for the Humanities project My History Is America's History, we hope to help every child in America value their own family histories and honor our nation's immigrant past and present.
This time capsule is one of our gifts to the future, a gift that will convey to our great-grandchildren and their children what it was like and what we were thinking at the end of the 20th century.
In many ways, what our descendants find inside this capsule can be viewed not merely as a relic of the past, but as this generation's promise to the future. There will be a photo of Rosa Parks in the days after that fateful bus ride, to serve to remind us not only of her courage, but of our solemn pledge to move forward in the long march toward justice and to live even closer to our ideals of freedom and equality.
The model of the DNA double helix will be placed in the capsule, not just as a symbol of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all history, but of our commitment to completing the human genome project, cracking the code of life and putting it to work for the good of humanity.
And the film of Neil Armstrong's walk on the Moon must also be our pledge to keep America the world's leading space-faring nation.

APPLAUSE)
MURRAY: Well, thank you very much. I'm very honored to be here with the first lady. I hope you do decide to run for the Senate. We have been able to put education on the national agenda; with you here, it will become the national agenda.
It is really an honor to be here with a teacher who is one of the teachers that is in a classroom today because of the dollars we put in the budget to reduce class size last year. She is able to do the job we want her to do as a teacher, but more importantly, the students in her classroom are going to have the best education possible.
She is why we are here today, along with a number of other teachers in our audience who also have been hired this year and have class sizes that are workable because of the work we did last year.
We're here today to send the message that smaller class sizes help to restore discipline to the classroom and allow our children to learn the basics, and we need to keep that commitment in this budget and beyond so that those kids can get the education they deserve.
I can tell you, as a former parent and a teacher, that reducing class sizes works. But don't just take our word for it. National studies show that reducing class size in the early grades makes more -- allows more kids to graduate, they have higher grade-point averages, and they are more inclined to pursue higher education. It works. We need a national commitment to keep it going.
I was able to visit a classroom just a few weeks ago in Tacoma, where they have used our class-size money to reduce the classes -- the class sizes in first grades.
MURRAY: I was in a first grade classroom with a teacher with 15 students, and she was so elated. She said to me that this is the first year I will be able to guarantee at the end of the year that every single one of my students will be able to read. I've never been able to do that before. That's th as a former school board member that

Ms. RODHAM : But our celebration didn't just begin at the stroke of midnight, nor will it end today. Two years ago, the president and I launched the White House Millennium Project to inspire all Americans to reflect on where we have been as a nation, who we are, and what we want to be, a project to honor the past and imagine the future. I've traveled all across our country, encouraging citizens and communities to think of the gifts that America can give to the future, whether it's saving our historic treasures, such as the Declaration of Independence, or Thomas Edison's invention factory, or the Pueblos of the American Southwest, opening trails and planting millions of trees for future generations to enjoy, or teaching our school children to value their own families and America's immigrant past. The president and I invite you to join these and so many other efforts to extend our celebration far into the new year and the new century.
Pres. : What is perhaps most remarkable about last night's celebration is the way it was shared all around the world. Millions of Americans and ions of others across the globe watched on television as midnight broke first in Asia, then in Europe, then Africa, South America, finally here in North America. That people all over the planet could experience the same events at the same time would have been impossible for anyone to imagine a thousand years ago--even 100. Yet the growing interconnectedness of the world today, thanks to a global economy and technologies like the Internet, is more than just a mark of how far we've come. It's the key to understanding where we're going and what we must do in the new millennium. It's clear that our fate in America increasingly will be tied to the fate of other nations and other people around the world. We must have prosperous partners to trade w nges that know no borders, from terrorism to environmental destruction. To advance ot just by our exertions abroad, but

The stark truth is that you cannot deal with America's problem of education. There aren't enough alternative schools. There aren't enough places to put people with vouchers. There aren't enough parochial schools, there aren't enough private schools. The only way to deal with the problem of America's education system is to fix the public school system and to support it. And the fact is that it's not just a question of 100,000 teachers. We've heard the statistics of the need for 10 -- over the next 10 years, for two million. Five million of them needed in the next five years.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of support, lack of mentoring, lack of ongoing professional education, lack of adequate class size, we lose 30 to 40 percent of our new teachers within the first three to four years.
So, if we're going to make real all the impassioned speeches on the floor of the Senate about transfer of values to our children, about the next generation of citizens, about a democracy that has the ability to manage all this information that comes at us in the modern age; if we're going to do all these things and have a workforce that can grow our businesses and grow our tax base, we have only one choice, and that is to invest in our children.
It's inexcusable that the Republicans -- I mean you can find an excuse maybe they can hide behind a reason to not pass a test ban treaty. They can hide behind a reason, the First Amendment, not to pass campaign finance reform. But there's nowhere to hide and there's no rational explanation to give the American people for not guaranteeing that the children of this country have the opportunity to learn and that teachers have the opportunity to teach to the standards that we've put into place.
KERRY: And that's what this fight is about. And we D ch, kids have after-school programs, they're not turned out into homes that have no parents in the afternoon until late in the ev uch. Thank you very much, John Kerry.

Do I matter?

Not trying to sound dismal. Just feeling blue. Figure this is the best time to ask.

RODHAM : We're going to talk about our house this morning, which we are very happy about being in and being New Yorkers, and we'll leave that to another time.
QUESTION: Mr. President, are you going to Lazard Freres?
WILLIAM J. , PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: No. No, I keep reading all these things. I've not given very much thought to this. I'm going to work very hard on finishing my library and center, and I'm going to devote all my attention being president. I've got a lot -- a big agenda this year.
We're going back now, and I have to go back to Shepherdstown this afternoon. But I've had no discussions with anybody about that kind of move. And I was amazed to see that in the paper. No one's even suggested that.
QUESTION: Mr. President, last night the vice president debates said the Hill asked military commanders about their feelings on gays serving in the military before appointing people to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Is this litmus test the way it should work?
: Well, I think the real problem is -- let me go back to what happened, because as you know my view was, and I will restate my view, the Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits homosexual contacts. So my view was if someone was willing to take the pledge to observe the Uniform Code of Military Justice, they shouldn't have to lie about being gay and being in the military.
Then let me remind you what happened. The Congress voted by a veto-proof majority against that position. So that's how we got to "don't ask, don't tell." My focus has been on trying to make the policy work the way the military commanders said it would work back in 1993, which it has not been doing. No one disputes that.
To Secretary Cohen's credit, back in August he announced some new guidelines which have now been implemented for training and for implementation, which I think will significantly improve the present situation over the next few months.
Now, the vice president and Senator Bradley say they want to g

the president's veto of this if it does not include the class size money, because it is the right thing to do not only for today, but for 12 years from now when those first graders graduate and become economic partners with all of us in this great country.
It is my honor to introduce to you a leader in this battle, the ranking member on the Appropriations Committee, Senator Tom Harkin, whose been at the table day after day after day insisting that class size reduction remain in the so that we can do the right thing for all of our children. Senator Tom Harkin.
(APPLAUSE)
HARKIN: Thank you, Senator Murray. First of all, I want to thank Senator -- I mean -- the first lady for being here...
(LAUGHTER)
... it has a nice ring to it, though, I think -- for her great leadership in this area, and I look forward to working with her in the future on the issue of education and many other things. I want to thank Senator Daschle, our Democratic leader, for making education the number one issue here in the United States Senate. Were it not for Senator Daschle, it truly would have been put on the back burner.
I again also want to thank the person who has worked the longest, who has fought the hardest, and led us through all these battles for so many years, Senator Kennedy. He truly is our leader on the issue of education; to Senator Dorgan and Senator Murray and Senator Kerry also -- all of our -- all of those who have fought so hard to not only increase the funding for education, but to focus on the true needs of our schools.
Since Jonathan Kozol wrote his landmark book, "Savage Inequalities," the gap has not narrowed. In fact, it has been getting worse. The General Account inadequate. They estimate it will cost $112 ion to upgrade existing public schools just to good condition. Forty-six percent of our schools lack adequate electrical wiring to hook up to the Internet. Enrollment in elementary and secondary schools is at an all-time high

(APPLAUSE)
... and wisdom still influence us all.
I want to thank Secretary Summers for being here. I think when the history of the last 10 years is written, the role that Secretary Summers and his predecessors, Secretary Rubin and Secretary Benson, played in bringing the Treasury Department into the full agenda of opportunity is one that will be marked as extraordinarily important.
And Secretary Summers has gone places where other treasury secretaries have not gone before and has taken up the battle for equal access to capital and opportunity.
: And...
(APPLAUSE)
And I want to thank Bruce Gordon for his eloquence and his provocative reminder that there is more to be done.
We come to this meeting with a lot of good news, and we've heard quite a bit of that from both Secretary Summers and from Mr. Gordon. But we also know that we would not be meeting here if we did not have work to do, that the lack of equal opportunity for access to capital and for jobs is one of the unfinished pieces of business from the last century that we carry with us into this new one.
One of the lines that is not often quoted from Dr. King's memorable speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is the following. He said, "We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity in this nation." Those vaults of opportunity are slowly but surely being pried open, but they need to open much faster, if we are to keep faith...
(APPLAUSE)
... with the talents and the skills of Americans from every walk of life.
: Those vaults of opportunity are fuller than ever. But their prizes are not reaching all who need them

and will continue to grow over the next 10 years, making it necessary for the United States to build an additional 6,000 schools.
And the American Society of Civil Engineers reports that public schools are in worse condition than any other sector of our national infrastructure. We send a sorry message to our children when the nicest things they see are shopping malls, sports arenas, and movie theaters, and the most run-down place they see is their public school.
In 1980, the federal share of the education dollar that went to elementary and secondary education in the United States was just about 12 percent -- 1980. In 1999, going into the new millennium -- the new century -- the federal share of elementary and secondary education is now down to about seven percent. We're going in the wrong direction. We can and we must do better. We must rebuild and modernize our nation's crumbling schools. As we reduce class size, get teacher training, qualifications up, we have to rebuild and modernize our schools.
HARKIN: And those schools mainly are in our poorer areas. In the final days of this session, we'll be working to force the Republican leadership to keep their promise first to reduce class size. But we must also redouble our efforts to secure funds for school modernization. The president's budget provides tax credits to finance $25 ion in new construction. These tax credits should make it possible to build up to 6,000 new schools when that money is leveraged.
We need to supplement, however, these tax credits with direct grants for the nation's neediest school districts. Some school districts are even too poor to float a bond issue. So this comprehensive two-prong approach, one on the tax credit side and the bond issue that the president's pushing, the other one to give direct grants to schools that we have pending legislation here to do, is necessary ue of mine who has worked very hard on some innovative new approache Kerry of Massachusetts.

So, I hope that all of us gathered here today and through the rest of this conference will work to keep faith with Dr. King's words and do all that we can in the public and private and philanthropic sectors to make sure those vaults of opportunity are opened as wide as possible.
I want to thank Reverend Jackson and all who work with him on this Wall Street project for what you are doing not only to open the vaults but to remind us that every one of us has an obligation and a responsibility in the continuing journey of America to extend opportunity, to extend the winners' circle, so that every American feels that his or her place is in the forefront of taking the American dream for themselves.
We have to be breaking down those barriers that still keep us from working together and building bridges, barriers between races and until recently, between Wall Street and the great untapped markets of America.
Yesterday, I was in upstate New York. I started in Rochester, I drove to the county seat of a small county, a town called Lyons in Wayne County. And then, I went on to Geneva, where I spoke to several thousand college students and community citizens.
I started by visiting a supermarket that had not been there very long because it was in an under-served neighborhood in Rochester.
: But because of government policies, committed business leaders, visionary public leadership, that supermarket is now there, employing hundreds of people, doing business with dozens and dozens of other businesses and serving as a stark rebuke to anyone who believes there are not markets yet to be tapped right here in our own country.
And if one...

If I'm a school board member or somebody trying to allocate money at the local level, I'm going to ask myself: Well, what are they going to do to me next year? If you look at the history of block grants, you're going to guess, probably rightly, that that block grant will be cut. If you're a school board member trying to hire teachers, you are not going to hire a teacher knowing that that money is going to be taken away in a year. That's one answer and a very important one.
But secondly, we know that reducing class size makes a difference for the education of our young children, whether it's teaching them the basics, reducing discipline in a world where we're concerned about violence, and making sure that our children stay in school and go on to get a higher education. We know that that is a commitment that we need to make at the federal level, state level, and local level. And we at the federal level have to be part of that partnership to make it happen.
MURRAY: That's the commitment we have. We agree with our Republican colleagues that our school districts need more resources. We agree that they need more money. But we're not going to take it away from the commitment we have made on this important effort to reduce class sizes.
QUESTION: Senator Harkin, I wondered, what do you think of the proposal for an across-the-board cut as a way to end these negotiations? They impact on education. It's about $500 million it looks like of a cut.
HARKIN: Well, that's sort of the brainless way of doing things. It's -- I hope that we don't have to resort to that. I find it unacceptable to have those across-the-board cuts. It just would cut some of our basic programs that we have been trying to get funds up for.
The president's budget had the necessary offsets. I have also come up with some offsets of my own that would fully cover these, but the Republicans seem intent on not having those offsets and

travels that we really have three divides that we have to bridge in order to provide opportunity as fully as possible. We have a capital divide, we have an education divide and we have a digital divide, which Bruce talked about so well.
If we add those divides up, we see what our challenges are: How do we get capital where it needs to be? How do we make sure our education systems are working for all Americans? How do we provide access to all the new information technology?
If we take on those three challenges, then we will bridge the opportunity divide that still exists in America.
(APPLAUSE)
: And the good news is, we know what works. It's not as though we have no idea how to bridge the opportunity divide. There are many models around New York and America that can be pointed to with great pride. Bruce and Percy and Jesse and Larry mentioned and referred to some. The trick is whether we summon the political will and leadership, the public investment and leadership, the private investment and leadership in order to bridge these divides.
I've met many New Yorkers in the last six months who have very good ideas about what to do in their own communities in order to further their independence and self-sufficiency, but they need help, they need investment and they need leadership.
Last summer and fall, Reverend Jackson joined the president on a New Markets tour across America to shine a spotlight and bring new investments to communities left behind in good times -- from Newark to Watts to the Pine Ridge Reservation. And in the months since then, businesses that were watching and listening have been taking advantage of some of these new opportunities.
: New jobs have been created. New capital has found its way to create economic opportunity in those long-forgotten places.
In this era of unprecedented prosperity, we do have a chance to build on what has been done the number eight million jobs was put out,

QUESTION: Yes, Senator Daschle, on another subject, could you define the difference between racial bias and racism?
DASCHLE: I'm sorry?
QUESTION: Define the difference between minority bias and racism?
DASCHLE: Define the difference between minority bias and racism. Well, racism I think is a -- we all recognize racism in many occasions. It's a hatred. It's a disease. It's a sickness that has to be rid from our society. I think lack of sensitivity to minorities and to race sometimes is far more pervasive and maybe just as problematic in some cases, but clearly ought to be something we attempt to address each and every time the situation occurs.
We have seen a pattern of a lack of insensitivity that creates the perception that those who find themselves in the minority, whether it's race, women -- an array of different options -- find greater difficulty, greater challenge and less opportunity. We want to rid ourselves of that.
We as members of Congress have made progress in the last several decades in doing just that. My colleagues here and others have made a great effort to rid ourselves not only of racism, but of the lack of opportunity that exists today for minorities. I hope we can continue to do that. I believe in many cases in recent weeks the perception has been created by some of our Republican colleagues that that lack of sensitivity is still a serious problem in the United States Senate.
QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE) in general or the leadership -- who are you blaming for it?
DASCHLE: I'm not blaming anybody. I'm simply saying that a serious problem exists with regard to the perception that when it comes to opportunities for Hispanic Americans; opportunities for African Americans -- that there appears to be a double standard. It takes longer for an African American or Hispanic American nomin cial modern anybody. I'm simply pointing out that ublicans or Democrats, is reducing class size. Today,

That's one of the reasons we fought so hard to preserve the Community Reinvestment Act. The CRA...
(APPLAUSE)
The CRA was seen by some as a social engineering tool that had no place in the marketplace. But we know that the CRA has helped families buy new homes, helped businesses hire more workers and promoted economic growth in so many communities. It is an important tool to expand on the progress that we have made and hope to make. And it is a valuable tool that I will stand firmly beside Reverend Jackson and Secretary Summers and others always to protect, because without that kind of public-private partnership, we will not maximize our opportunity and the chance to bring more people into this economy.
I strongly support the proposal that was announced today, that Secretary Summers spoke about, to expand the earned income tax credit to help more married couples and families who are raising two or more children. No one who works full-time in America should have to raise a family in poverty. We ended...
(APPLAUSE)
We ended welfare in large measure because we wanted to reward work.
: Now we have to make work pay, and full-time work should provide a decent living wage that lifts a family out of poverty. And...
(APPLAUSE)
And there is a role, certainly, for earned income tax credit, for the minimum wage and other tools of government. But the greatest opportunity lies in the private sector -- to go into those markets that have been written off in the past and to bring the know-how and technical assistance that only the private sector can provide.
When I was speaking with the store manager at that supermarket in Rochester, I was struck time and again by how enthusiastic he was for the new business that he had helped to create, and how now there were five such supermarkets and more on the drawing boards. It was not so

decisions on the issues that have been presented by Krystal, the first lady, and others here today. And Tom Harkin has been fighting and making that fight. We wish him well when he leaves here today.
We thank John Kerry, who's been a valued ally in raising the whole questions of education and provided enormous creativity in finding new ways to meet that challenge.
And it's a pleasure to be with Byron Dorgan, who is our floor manager and done such a job.
And to be especially glad to be here with Krystal, and listening to her words and heeding those words. We want you to know, Krystal, the best way we can thank you is by heeding those words and fighting on these education issues.
Very simple and fundamental question, and that is: Are we going to carry forward what teachers and parents want -- teachers and parents want -- and that is the smaller class size.
And a year ago, the Congress of the United States made a commitment to families all across this nation that we were going to have smaller class size, and that was with the leadership of Senator Murray. It's the Murray amendment: smaller class size. And the Congress went on record and said yes, we are going to do that. And the question is in these final weeks: Are we going to be the Congress that breaks our word to these families? Are we going to become the anti-education Congress? It is as simple and plain as that.
Money can't solve all the problems in education, but it's a reflection of the nation's priorities in education. And it's not only important to have the resource but to commit the resources. And the question now that is before the Congress in these last days is will we continue that commitment that has placed 30,000 teachers in classrooms across the country?
We have seen what the action of Republican leadership has been in the House of Representatives: It's nd lead that effort. That is what ed that you could b

Yea, Mad Max was amazing. And I completely agree that the "hardcore" feel was there. The products of the 80's seem like They always featured the heroes as "hard boiled" so to speak. They did what needed to be done with no grandstanding and crap. Robocop was grittier then i remembered, since i recently watched it. Terminator was grim and grimey and the Running Man was also schlocky and crazy fun.

: That supermarket was there because of the empowerment zone and enterprise community legislation that provided just that extra push that a business needed -- that the government would stand behind their risk-taking while they determined how to make a profit and build a market.
Tomorrow the president will be introducing even more proposals to boost the New Markets Initiative, and there is one aspect of that that I would like to discuss; he will certainly be making all of the other announcements here in New York.
But one that is particularly important to me and that I've been involved in now for more than 15 years is called microenterprise, an idea that started in very poor places -- Bangladesh and India -- where there was no collateral for any kind of credit, yet people worked hard 12, 18 hours a day bringing in crops, taking goods to market. They had the collateral of their own commitment to hard work. And then that was thought to be enough to give them small loans so that they could create small businesses to further their families' fortunes.
I first heard about microenterprise when I heard about the Gramine (ph) Bank in Bangladesh and a man named Mohamed Unis (ph), a United States-trained economist who returned home to Bangladesh and determined that there was no way for that poor country ever to provide economic opportunity without access to capital, and went about the business of starting a bank that would do just that.
I'd heard about how the South Shore Bank in Chicago had taken those ideas and transplanted them to America, providing modest-sized loans primarily to low-income women, who would have never qualified for a commercial loan.
When I heard about it, I knew that that was an idea that could change lives throughout America, and particularly in Arkansas, where and I were committed to doing all we could to bring economic opportunity to areas that had long been left out of the mainstream of America's economy.

Now no one understands or appreciates the accomplishments of the pharmaceutical industry more than I do. Every day I see lives literally saved and people's health dramatically improved. But nothing is more frustrating than trying to explain how pharmaceuticals are priced in this country.
When you try and talk to a person and tell them the details about the complex system of multiple discounts and rebates and cost-shifting to HMOs, where discounts are given to HMOs and price increases are passed on to the private sector, people -- people have a hard time understanding it.
The truth is, none of it makes sense. And after a minute or two, invariably people look at you with a funny look, they scratch their head and they say: That's just crazy.
But the reality is, it is crazy. It's a fact that virtually every one gets cheaper prices than community pharmacies and the patients they serve. Survey after survey has demonstrated that special pricing arrangements for seniors in this country to pay more than just about every one else in the world.
And pharmacists like myself, both chain and independent, are faced with the task of explaining that on a day-to-day basis, how this crazy system works and why they are sometimes forced between buying food, paying their rent, or purchasing their prescriptions.
DILLON (ph): These aren't luxuries or options we're talking about, but they are necessities required for people to maintain their health.
I can explain the cost of research and development, I can explain all the good that the pharmaceutical industry has accomplished, but I can't explain why their prescriptions cost so much.
I can't explain why a senior citizen like my 85-year-old mother, who struggled all her life to raise six children and lives on an limited income, is forced to pay two or three times as much as an HMO or a ion dollar insurance company, or even worse, twice which she would pay n't make any sense to me. ut I do believe that when th of those times.

Since 1993, we have built a strong record of support and investment in micro lending in the administration. We've tripled America's investment in community development banks and have established the presidential awards in micro-enterprise excellence and provided technical assistance.
: I believe we can build on that progress. I would like to double the number of micro entrepreneurs in our communities. And we can do that by strengthening the SBA's micro loan program and the new PRIME Act, which extends training and credit to people with little income or credit but good ideas for business and the willingness to put in a lot of sweat equity.
I will certainly work to support the SBA's very successful one- stop capital shops which provide finance and micro-enterprise training in distressed communities to even more under-served areas, particularly rural communities.
Now, it is clear that micro-credit is not the only solution. But it is a small and important part of the overall strategy to bridge the opportunity divide. If we have a New Markets Initiative that opens up new markets, we have to recognize that that is more than just economics and money that we're talking about. It is restoring confidence in communities where it has basically disappeared. It is giving citizens a chance to open up their first savings accounts. Instead of going to cash checkers with their EITC checks, they can go to a real bank and cash it and not pay the exorbitant fees that eat into the little income that they have. It is watching a mother with pride get dressed for work once again, and seeing abandoned streets and blocks gleam with new businesses like I saw yesterday.

Thanks to the leadership of Dick Gephardt, David Bonior, Tom Allen, Jim Turner, members from the Democratic caucus from all parts of the country, and the first lady, we're going to fight to pass legislation to stop discrimination in pricing against seniors and to cover what is a very important basic health need for all of the Medicare population.
We've got to fight to break the stranglehold the drug companies have on the Republican leadership. This shouldn't be a partisan issue, but yet the Republican leadership, as they did on HMOs, Patients' of Rights, and they're doing now on pharmaceutical coverage, won't let their members vote with us to stop the drug companies from gouging seniors.
We're battling to have prescription drug legislation debated now, and if we have to, we'll continue this fight next year, because we're not going to quit until there's an end to discriminatory pricing and there's coverage for all seniors that need it.
I'm pleased now to turn over this platform to Ed Dillon (ph) of Grubb's Pharmacy, a pharmacist who deals with these issues every single day.

the South Shore Bank, starting the loan funds in something called the "good faith fund," and we saw that what worked far away from the shores of our own country could indeed work here at home.
Many low-income people who had skills and talents were able to turn them in to jobs and even small businesses that employed others because they had access to capital. People began to free themselves from welfare. They saw a future where before they never had.
I know that many people are still unaware of micro-enterprise, don't know what it can do in the lives of Americans, and that many commercial enterprises, particularly commercial banks, are still reluctant to be involved. And yet in every program of micro-credit that I am personally aware of, the loan repayment rate is more than 95 percent. That is...
(APPLAUSE)
That is a return that most commercial banks certainly could not claim. And it is credit that is extended to the poorest of the poor, but in a way that enables and empowers them to not only make a profit but to pass on that kind of economic awareness to their neighbors, therefore creating a larger and larger market.
I want to thank some of America's commercial banks that are beginning to be involved in micro-enterprise, but principally abroad, working in Northern Ireland, working in India. We need to bring those ideas that work right here to America.
Since 1993, we have built a strong record of support and investment in micro lending in the administration. We've tripled America's investment in community development banks and have established the presidential awards in micro-enterprise

: Now -- yes, appropriate sound effects.
(LAUGHTER)
All of these members, plus the others who stand here today, have made a commitment to doing everything we possibly can to ensure that our seniors have the medical coverage and the prescription drugs that they need to stay healthy and to have the quality of life that we want our older men and women to have.
And we come together today for a very simple reason: Millions of older Americans cannot afford the prescription drugs they need to live their lives in dignity.
Now there are many groups represented in the audience: The National Council of Senior Citizens; the Older Women's League, known as OWL, very wise; the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare; the National Community Pharmacists Association; and many others that have joined with the Democrats in Congress to make as clear as we can that this is an issue that is not going away, that it is an issue that will be with us this year and next year.
(APPLAUSE)
And that's because the facts are so compelling. More than two- thirds of all Medicare beneficiaries have no coverage or inadequate Medigap coverage. This is not just a problem for low-income beneficiaries. Over half of Medicare beneficiaries without drug coverage have incomes greater than 150 percent of the poverty level.
And the problem is getting worse. The number of firms offering health insurance for retirees have dropped 25 percent over the past four years. And Medigap premiums -- which increase with age -- have been rising at double-digit rates.
: Now the drug industry can buy all the ads they want to provide cover for their inaction, but the one thing their ads cannot deny is that the problem is real and the time for action is now.
(APPLAUSE)
I wish these companies running the ads would respond to the kind of letters that I receive and the president receives and I know every member of Cong couple in Georgia who said their prescripti nt up, it wouldn't come close to the fo

carrying that announcement, of course, live.
Standing there at her side, where she has been for him throughout his political career, of course, will be President , though it's not exactly clear what role Mr. will play in the ceremony. Generally, the honor of introducing the candidate goes to the spouse or to the senior politician present and, of course, the president is both. But there are whisperings that because of lingering concerns over Mrs. 's status as an outsider still in the state of New York that perhaps a New York politician will be tapped for that duty.
Afterwards, the s plan to begin attending some campaign events and there is also a great deal of interest and it's somewhat of a mystery as to what role the president will play in the first lady's campaign.
Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart said that the president is going to "do whatever is going to be effective for her campaign" and that that would be determined as the campaign unfolds.
This, of course, will also be a very big weekend for the man who is expected to be the first lady's challenger for the New York Senate seat, Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York. Not one to be ignored, he is going to be appearing on five Sunday morning news talk shows, count them, five. At that point we are expected to hear more about charges that came out this week that the first lady may not have adequately reimbursed taxpayers for campaign trips that she made on government aircraft. Just a taste, perhaps, of the nasty campaign to come.
So what will the White House do now with the mostly absent first lady? Press Secretary Joe Lockhart again says that the White House will manage. The first lady said that she's going to try to be here for special White House dinners, formal events with visiting dignitaries and Lockhart has said operations here won't be impacted. Where they need to fill in, they will.

You know, the Republican-led Congress, as Dick said, can pass a huge tax scheme that Americans don't want and that would undermine our economy, but for some reason, they put off even having a debate over prescription drug cost and coverage. Providing access to affordable prescription drugs should not be a Democratic or Republican issue. This is an American issue. And...
(APPLAUSE)
... I don't know what the Republican leadership is afraid of. The time for waiting has ended and the time for debating has come. And I know that if we follow the lead of the Democrats gathered here today, we will succeed in meeting this challenge, and we cannot afford to fail.
: Now, we will not fail in obtaining this kind of support for older Americans because we have the commitment of leaders like Henry Waxman. Now, he has given himself to issues like this for decades. He's won so many legislative victories because he's never given up fighting for the people he was elected to serve. And as long as we follow his lead in representing the people's real interests, and not the special interests, we cannot go wrong and neither can the American people.
It's now my honor and pleasure to introduce a great leader, Congressman Henry Waxman.

WAXMAN: Thank you very much, Mrs. .
It's a great honor and an extraordinary help to have the first lady come here and speak about this important issue. We all know her as a champion for health care for seniors and all Americans.

WALLACE: Most of Mrs. 's policy efforts focused on children, including kids waiting to be adopted.
: Foster care should never be a permanent solution.
WALLACE: She lobbied Congress to increase incentives for adoption. Her husband signed it into law. She also convened two White House conferences, one on child care, the other on brain development in early childhood. Matthew Melmed worked with Mrs. on programs for children under four.
MATTHEW MELMED, ZERO TO THREE: She had a very pragmatic approach about what was the art of the possible and how could we try to move that forward. And I believe that that's how she was able to accomplish as much as she has been able to accomplish.
WALLACE: Mrs. also traveled to more countries than any other first lady, focusing attention on women's health in Pakistan, promoting women's rights in China and advocating micro loans in South Africa. Aides say the first lady's policy achievements are an untold story.
LISA MUSCATINE, PRESS SECRETARY TO : I think that after '94 a lot of people just assumed that because health care didn't go quite the way she wanted it to, that was going to be the end of her involvement and quite the opposite has been true.

I know that in her travels around our country she faces some of the same questions all of us face as we talk to our neighbors and friends. I'm asked again and again, why doesn't Congress address the issues that families really care about? Improving education; making our schools and neighborhoods safe; and addressing the rising costs of health care. Unfortunately, we now have a Congress that puts the special interests ahead of the public interest.

We have a Republican leadership whose number one goal is to get through the year without addressing the important issues the American people sent us here to do. They've succeeded once again this year providing a $1 trillion tax cut for corporations and special interests but not one sent to extend the life of Social Security or to modernize Medicare with a prescription drug plan.
Democrats have tried to do the people's business. We tirelessly worked to get our top priority, a Patients' of Rights, on the floor of the House. We wanted to take medical decision-making away from the HMO bureaucrats and return it to the doctors and patients where it belongs.
(APPLAUSE)
But our efforts have been bottled up and frankly buried in a conference committee by the Republican leadership that puts the needs of insurance companies ahead of the needs of America's families. A narrow extreme view in Congress too often stands in the way of real progress, preventing us from enacting the strong yet sensible reforms that are necessary to ensure that the quality of health care that Americans receive goes up, not down.
Seniors are feeling the impact of the status quo on their pocketbook and on their health. Medicare has served seniors well over the last three decades. This program really works. But changes in the marketplace are pricing quality health care out of the reach of more and more seniors. A Medicare prescription drug plan and help for seniors in obt cine.
