• President Clinton's Balanced Budget Is Good For America.

President Clinton's Balanced Budget Includes New Initiatives To Help Meet America's Challenges As We Move Towards The New Century.

• Health Insurance Reforms. Require insurers to cover people who have lost insurance because they change or lose their jobs. Help 3.8 million unemployed workers each year purchase health insurance. Limit the ability of insurance companies to deny coverage based on pre-existing condition. Help small businesses buy insurance at cheaper rates.

• Education Technology Initiative. Help local efforts to increase Educational Technology -- putting more computers in classrooms, connecting classrooms to the internet, creating better educational software to help children learn, and providing training to help teachers teach new technologies.

• $10,000 College Tuition Tax Deduction. Allow families to deduct up to $10,000 a year for the cost of tuition and training. More than 16.5 million students could benefit.

• $1,000 Merit Scholarships For Top 5% Students At Every High School. Scholarships rewarding excellence and achievement to help more students afford a college education.

• Brownfields Common Sense Environmental Cleanups. Tax incentives to businesses that redevelop brownfields in distressed communities over a shorter period of time. This will spur the private sector to create jobs, return land to productive use, and clean up the environment.

President Clinton Urges Republicans To Keep Working With Him So We Can Pass A Balanced Budget. No More Blackmail. We Have The Savings In Common. Let's Get It Done.

• Pass Common Savings Now. Both sides have now agreed on more than enough cuts in common to balance the budget in 7 years and still provide a modest middle-class tax cut, to maintain our obligations to our parents and our children and to the future through Medicare and Medicaid and through our investments in education, and to protect the environment.

• Congress Must Pass A Longterm Straightforward Debt Extension Now. Congress must take action to secure a long-term, straightforward debt extension so that we can get on with balancing the budget without the threat of default hanging over our head.
