This release contains White House Exchange Mail records dated January 1998 to October 1999. Most of it is a transcript of a January 29, 1998 press briefing by Press Secretary Mike McCurry covering Iraq, Iran, the budget and the Lewinsky inquiry, plus a 1998 presidential speech. An October 19, 1999 email among Transnational Threats staff forwards a Florida Today article on how scientists expect alien contact would spark a media frenzy rather than a cover-up, describing the 1989 SETI detection protocol.

But let me say, this 4.6 percent is misleading because the unemploymen http://classified/email/data_source/exchange/record/cd009/apr 1998/35413 a35.html 1/5/2010 investors lose confidence in the economy. You can move your money at the ocean in the flash of a computer key. Money is very mobile today. Cour will be rewarded if they have responsible budgetary policies; they will t punished if they do not. You see the unemployment rate that says 4.6 percent. The economists te that there are about 3 percent of the people moving around all the time,; you get the unemployment rate under 3 percent you've got a job shortag know, there are want ads that — it's good for you because more people b So whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, whether you consider y< a liberal or a conservative, you should wish your government to operate v framework of discipline that will, first of all, permit the economy to gro that over 90 percent of the people are always going to be able to do pret by taking care of themselves and working and going forward. So that's t thing I would like to emphasize. I was in Las Vegas where carpenters have fringe benefits worth over $8 hour, in the carpenters union. I'm glad. But they have a vibrant economy that i it possible. In Washington, D.C., we've reduced the size of the govemm part of our prosperity is because we've given you a different kind of government. The government in Washington today is the smallest it's been since Johi Kennedy was President. We've reduced it by 350,000. That's one of the reasons - the only reason, but one of the reasons the unemployment rate in Washi D.C., is above 8 percent, and in some neighborhoods even higher. Nebraska and North Dakota is 1.9 percent. In Omaha you can go to wor fast food place for way above the minimum wage and get guaranteed health benefits, because they have to offer it to get help and because prosperity is such t they can afford to offer it. The second thing I think we have to do is to face the fact that not every American has had a chance to participate in this newfound prosperity. T are still whole neighborhoods and communities, principally in our inner citi in some rural areas, where we don't have the kind of prosperity that Ameri' enjoys, where the unemployment rate is not low.
