Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 9, 1994
I am pleased to announce my strong support for S. 4, the National Competitiveness Act. First and foremost, this bill is about preserving and creating jobs. By helping to strengthen the U.S. industrial base, S. 4 will enable American companies to meet and defeat foreign competition, ensuring more jobs, higher wages, and a better standard of living for all Americans. Moreover, S. 4 represents a new approach to economic growth and job creation that says something very important about this administration. It is an approach which features Government as a partner of industry instead of an adversary. Scarce Federal dollars will be leveraged through investment in the technology priorities and needs that industry identifies, rather than technologies that Government bureaucrats like.
