.......Peter: Let's send it to everybody......William Jefferson Clinton
and I don't correspond......If I did, I'd remind him that the first
environmentalist president (Theodore Roosevelt) was a Republican ... and
the second (Richard Nixon) was responsible for the establishment of the
EPA (under the environmental law passed during his administration).....
You can say that those Republicans didn't really mean it, if you want to.
That they were "phonies." But in that department, I don't see how they
could EVER compete with William Jefferson Clinton!!!.....guru.....

Roy,
FYI
Peter
Please consider writing a letter to Clinton and Gore in which you connect
these words to the reality of the TCA 96, HDTV, wireless facilities and the
attempts to take away local and state control over planning and
environmental issues. Especially cause them to see how the opening up of
all Federal properties under an E-911 bill runs in direct conflict with
these words. (Most of you have seen the recent e-mails on tower fights in
places like the Grand Canyon, Rock Creek Park and some of the historic Civil
War battlefields.) Think about connecting to the bird mortality research as
is presented in www.towerkill.com And in the end, is there any more
"hallowed ground" than one's home and neighborhood? Letters from citizens
do make a difference!

A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt defined our "great,
central task" as "leaving this land even a better land for our
descendants than it is for us." Today, we're restoring the Florida
Everglades , saving Yellowstone, preserving the red rock canyons of
Utah, protecting California's redwoods and our precious coasts. But
our most fateful new challenge is the threat of global warming. 1998
was the warmest year ever recorded. Last year's heat waves, floods and
storms are but a hint of what future generations may endure if we do
not act now.
Tonight I propose a new clean air fund to help communities reduce
greenhouse and other pollution, and tax incentives and investments to
spur clean energy technology. And I want to work with members of
Congress in both parties to reward companies that take early, voluntary
action to reduce greenhouse gases. (Applause.)
All our communities face a preservation challenge, as they grow
and green space shrinks. Seven thousand acres of farmland and open
space are lost every day. In response, I propose two major initiatives:
First, a $1-billion Livability Agenda to help communities save open
space, ease traffic congestion, and grow in ways that enhance every
citizen's quality of life. (Applause.) And second, a $1-billion Lands
Legacy Initiative to preserve places of natural beauty all across
America -- from the most remote wilderness to the nearest city park.
(Applause.)
These are truly landmark initiatives, which could not have been
developed without the visionary leadership of the Vice President, and I
want to thank him very much for his commitment here. (Applause.)
