“of Namibia June 16, 1993 Economic Program Q. Mr. President, there are indications that the Senate Finance Committee may not hit your $500 billion target. They may fall short because of this problem on the gasoline tax. Would you accept less than $500 billion, which is one of your main principles? President Clinton. Well, let's see what they do. I think the--and I think ultimately the conference report will--I think the bill that the Congress ultimately votes on will hit the $500 billion. Q. If they come out under $500 billion--usually in conference they cut things in half--it would mean that you would get less than $500 billion out of the final product. President Clinton. I'm not--let's see what they do. Space Station and Super Collider Q. Are you going to have a space station decision today--super collider? President Clinton. There is a deadline sometime in the next 3 days. I don't know exactly when it is, but there's a congressional deadline, and we're working on a statement right now. Namibia Q. Do you think Namibia can be a model for South Africa, Mr. President? President Clinton. I absolutely do. I think it's a model for all of Africa. The reason I asked President Nujoma to come here and be the first African leader at the White House is because of the remarkable success that he and his country have made in promoting democracy and market economies, and they've done it in a multiethnic society with great complications. But they've managed to do it.…”
