�REMARKS AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY BY VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM, DA VOS
c::::Friday, January 29, ~999
What a privilege it is to join you this week-- in_ considering the global challenges that
face us at what surely' must be the most interestfng time in all of human history. Indeed, the
changes in the global economy which are commanding our attention here represent only a part of
.
. I
the dramatic transformation now underway in world civilization.
The scientific and technological revolution is now doubling the entire sum of human
knowledge in many fields every few years. The human genome-- which many have called the
operating blueprint of the human race-- will soon. be completed. Within two years, a single
microchip will routinely contain one billion transistors, and the pattern etched on it will be as .
· complicated as a roadmap of the entire planet. And with a few more cycles of Moore's Law -according to which we now reliably expect the power of microprocessors to double every
eighteen months-- billions of ubiquitous intelligent devices, connected to the global Information
Superhighway, promise ultimately to have an impact on ourcivilization larger even than that
brought about by the invention of writing.
The international economic system fashioned near the end of World War II has
dramatically expanded prosperity, deepened democracy and freedom, and reduced hunger,
disease, and illiteracy around the world. Infant mortality in the poorest countries is down by 40
percent. Nations are breaking the chains of communism, oftotalitarianism, of legalized
discrimination such as Apartheid.
The past four decades have seen global trade grow fifteen-fold. And for the first time in
history, living standards for huge populations .have more than quadrupled in a single generation.
These changes, taken together -- the accelerating advancements in science and
·technology, the growing tnide between nations, and the_ growing connectivity ofworld
civilization -- have alre.ady transformed the means of production as dramatically as did the
Industrial Revolution, and are now bringing· about changes in our ways of thinking as profound
as those which accompanied the Renaissance.
.
'
But in the midst of new wealth and opportunity, we have also found new risk and
challenge: the growing dangers of the proliferation ofweapons of mass destruction; the slowing - and in some cases, the reversing -- of reforms in important countries upon whose continued
stability and progress the world depends; the breakdown of social order and consequent human
suffering in too many struggling, developing societies; the devastation of millions -- especially in
Africa, by HIV/AIDS; the adding of anbther Chi~a's worth ofpe<;:>ple to the world's population
every decade-- 95 percent ofthem in theworl9's poorest countries; the chang~s we are causing
in the global environment, which threaten to disrupt the relatively stable climatic balance we
have known since before the agricultural revolution.
1
�- - - - - - ------- - - . - - - - -
We can meet all ofthese challenges successfully, if we clearly understand the new
developments in our world. Most importantly, we should understand that in the past year, the
balance of risks in our global economy has changed. Sustainable growth is now clearly the main
imperat~ve.
For our part, the United States is following a·growth policy based on three elements never
before tried in combination: eliminate the deficit, open markets, and invest in our own people.
We replaced the vicious cycle with a - - - - cycle-- lower interest rates, more investment,
virtuous
more jobs, more growth-- which fuels even greater investment in our future.
For the first time in 30 ye.ars, we have balanced our budget. In fact, we have the largest
surplus in our history. Barring a natio,nal emergency, I believe we should balance our budget-or better -- every year.
Second, I believe America must use good economic tiines to tackle tough, long-term
economic problems-- and that means preparing for an aging society by saving Social Security
and Medicare while we have the means and the will to do it. President Clinton and I have
proposed a bold plan to fix the "entitlement problem" ina way which will also dramatically lift
our national savings rate.
)
Third, we will continue the hard work of cutting regulations and reforming and
reinventing government-- so that it costs less, works better, and keeps pace with today's fast.
.
movmg econ01mes.
Fourth, we will continue to make strategic investments in human capital-- particularly,
education and research and development-- that are the heart of productivity, and give everyone a
chance to share in our prosperity.
Fifth, America must remain engaged with t~e worl~ .. We must resist narrow appeals to
protectionism and is()lationism, which only wall us off from prosperity itself. With 96 percent of
the world's consumers outside our borders, ours is a vision that rests on expanding American
exports, including free-flowing electronic commerce .. That is why we will fight for the
traditional trade authority the President was denied by our Congress last year. We must find
common ground .
. In the past six years, .the. United States has negotiated over 270 new trade agreement~,
helping to open global markets in everything from agriculture to automobiles. And as we open
the doors to global trade wider than ever before, Wy want to build a trading system that includes
strong safegtiards for workers, for health and safety, for children, and for a clean environment.
If we want to build a strong, productive economy for our own families and communities -and provide the leadership today's overseas economic crises demand-- America must be even
more strongly committed to pro-growth policies. Especially in this time of turmoil, America
2
�cannot and will not take growth for granted. That is a course we hope other nations will follow
as well. If economic growth is to be global; economic leadership must also be global.
c
Last week, the President called for a new round of global trade negotiations to expand ·
trade in services, manufacturing, and farm products. I am especially hopeful that these trade
talks will raise living standards for the world's farmers and ranchers. That is why I am
announcing today that the United States will call for broad and deep reductions in agricultural
tariffs-- which now average a steep 40 percent. We will call for the outright elimination of
agricultural export subsidies -- which are found in no other sector. Agricultural subsidies cost
the average European family about $1,500 a year. We are also committed to ensuring that the
world's agricultural producers can use safe, scientifically proven biotechnology-- without fear of
trade discrimination. The world now has at its disposal safe, new technologies that can help us
feed millions of hungry families. We should promote· them, not punish them.
Let me emphasize that American understands fully that our future growth depends on
growth in the rest of the world. That is why the United States has been determined to mount a
. strong response to the world's financial challenges .. This has included: a renewed emphasis on
growth in the major industrialized economies, including interest rate reduct~ons by the U.S. and
other industrial countries; passage of increased funding for the IMF, and agreement by the G 7
leaders on President Clinton's call for stronger IMF efforts to contain contagion; the Asian
Growth and Recovery Initiative to promote necessary financial restructuring that Prime Minister
Obuchi and I jointly announced in Kuala Lumpur in November; expansion ofEx-[m bank
programs to help countries in Asia as well as Brazil; and enhanced efforts, through the World
Bank and the other multilateral development banks, to provide adequate social safety nets foi·
economies facing turmoil.
We also need to develop the right kind of financial architecture to prevent and contain
future crises. Our international institutions must become as modern as our markets -transparent and accountable to their members. The global capital market itself needs to be better
and more cooperatively managed-- not through new global bureaucracies, and not through the
laissez-faire approach that has caused so many oftoday's problems-- but through more
information, more openness, more cross-border reviews and cooperatioi1.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles were as important to the successful
development of America's capital markets as any other innovation. And ultimately, I believe we
need a·n international version of Generally Accepted· Accounting Principles. Forget the gold
standard-- today's economy operates on the information standard. A nation's econorriic power
comes from votes of confidence cast constantly in markets around the world that evaluate every
government's policies every day, through billions oftransactions. If investors think you're
playing fiscal games, or if a nation's financial standing is hidden in a dense fog of secrecy or
confusion, or distorted by corruption, then interest rates climb .almost instantly.
We need the private sector to bear more of the burden. We need carefully-designed ways
3
�to bail investors in instead of bailing them out -- because international assistance can never
match the scale of global capital flows. Right now, one of the most serious aspects oftoday's
financial crisis is the unwillingness of investors to reenter economies where they once suffered
losses, but-which, like Thailand and Korea, have already taken important steps to address the
issues that caused the withdrawal of credit. Mark Twain once said: "a cat that is burned on a hot
stove won't sit on a hot stove again. But it won't sit on a cold one, either."
As we move along in the G7 Summit process, questions of regulation of the world's large
financial institutions, systems of risk management, transparency, and disclosure-- including the
policies toward hedge funds and other new financial actors -- will be high .on the agenda.
We also need to pay more attention to the q~ality of governance. The management
revolution that has brought new productivity to the best-run corporations has produced insights
arid principles that can also streamline and vastly improve the operation of governments around
the world. Two weeks ago, I hosted 45 nations in the United States for the fii·st international
conference on reinventing government.
Three weeks from now, the United States will host a second international conference. At
this one, leaders from more than 77 countries will gather with many of the world's top.anticorruption experts to organize a new global effort to fight corruption-- in which each nation
works with its neighbors to embrace anti-corruption principles, promote effective practices, and
accelerate, instead of suffocate, the entrepreneurial spirit that is the surest path to prosperity.
But all our plans for improving the operation ofthe world's economy depend upon
growth in the major .engines of that economy. And growth in those major engines is essential if
· we are to. prevent the financial crisis of 1998 from becoming the trade crisis of 1999. America
cannot be the importer of only resort.
In 1993, other nations rightly asked the United States to get our fiscal house in order.
We have done so. And just as the world looked to America then to play a more powerful role in
the global economy, so today the world looks to Japan to make some· appropriate changes in the
way it discharges its responsibilities as the second largest economy in the world.
· One of the reasons we do so is that we know what Japan can do when it is at its best.
After all, Japan's achievements have been extraordinary-- forging a broad prosperity and security
for its people, and leading the way toward international development and peace. Even in the·
midst of recession, Japan generates more than two-thirds of Asia's combined GDP. But Japan's
economy has now been stalled for seven years.
As the Japanese authorities have recognized, Japan faces important challenges in
restoring vitality and confidence to its financial and banking systems. It faces the
macroeconomic challenge of ensuring adequate demand. And it faces key structural challenges,
such as deregulation and market opening.
4
�•.
I know that some Japanese believe we have asked for change too persistently, and I
recognize that there are political, cultural, and social factors that must be taken into account. But
the stakes are very high. So with due regard for the progress Japan has made, we-- all the rest of
us in the world -- respectfully repeat to Japan, our friend and partner: please, we need your help
to deal with this global economic crisis.
Europe also faces a complicated task with the advent of economic and monetary union.
Incidentally, we welcome the smooth introduction of the Euro. The United States has
supported the move toward European integration since the first days of the Marshall Plan. Now
more than ever, America will be well served by a Europe that is a larger trading partner for the
U.S. and a stronger partner in helping to confront global challenges.
We hope the E.U. sees the advent ofEMU as an opportunity to press abead with
long-needed structural reforms and to ensure that their policies support strong growth in
domestic demand, so that Europe, too, can assist in the Asian recovery and stand with the United
States as a bulwark of global stability.
We must never lose sight of the poorest nations. We would like to see, this year, on the
brink of a new millennium, decisive progress toward debt relief for the world's poorest and most
indebted countries. Debt relief means removal of the overhang -- that is, the burden that debts
place on investment -- and it means more resources for environmental protection and child
survival. I am pleased to announce here that our new budget, which President Clinton will
present to Congress on Monday, will propose significant new U.S. funding for debt relief for
poor, highly-indebted nations. And I hope: this can be the year when international. financ'ial
institutions are able to fully do their part--· including carrying through on a long-discussed
proposal, the mobilization of a small portion, of the IMP's gold reserves.
I also want you to .know that America is determined to stand for peace and security -- for
the rule of law and the prevention of deadly conflict, because our vision of the 21st Century is of
a prosperous world at peace. We cannot have one without the other. That is one reason why we
have worked so hard to promote peace in Northern Ireland, in the Middle East, in Bosnia, and in
other places around the world. Here in Europe, the expansion ofNA TO and.the inclusion of
. Russia in the:Partnership for Peace is· an important part of the backdrop for continued European
economic integration.
We are particularly concen1ed about the renewed outbreaks of violence in the Balkans -- ·
this time in Kosovo. Yesterday, NATO called on Belgrade to end its repression and comply
immediately with its commitments to NATO and the international community. The Alliance
reiterated its support for a quick political settlement to the conflict. This morning in London -even as I stand before you-- the U.S. and its Contact Group Partners-- France, Germany, Great
Britain, Italy, and Russia-- are discussing a settlement plan, and a call.to the parties to convene
early next Week to reach agreement. There should be no doubt about our collective resolve in
5
�this matter: NATO is prepared to back tip its words with action.
The fact that we are still dealing with armed conflicts in so many parts of our world
should underscore for all of us the deadly nature of the threat posed by the proliferation of
nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. Having lived through 50 years of a balance of terror
with the former Soviet Union·, we are deeply concerned about the spread of weapons that can
cause the death of millions into the hands of rogue nations or terrorists.
In the 21st Century, our prosperity and security will <:tlso depend upon our willingness
and ability to safeguard the global environment. Thankfully, more and more far-sighted
corporations are stepping forward to help develop sofutions for this impending crisis. And we
· are proposing that they be given credit for the early actions they are now beginning to take, The
key is harnessing market forces to protect our environment in ways that are realistic, flexible, and
sensitive to the cost to business.
I
.

\
These goals-- a stroqg economy, a clean environment, peace and security-- do go hand
in hand. As we move beyond the age of bipolar tensions and sha~p ideological conflicts -- as we
deepen and extend our economic and security ties -- nations are finding the wisdom that grows
from our connectedness.
Free markets, after all, are sustained by something deeper: the human freedoms and
shared prosperity that support a consensus for engagenient and reform. That is why a sound
economic agenda must include fairness and opportunity, investment in our children, the
empowerment of women, and care for the sick and aging. History has taught us that freedom -economic, political, and religious freedom -- unlocks a higher fraction of the human potential
than any other way of organizing society. And ultimately, people's faith in their own selfgovernment-- their belief that they can share in an ever-widening circle ofhuinan dignity and
self-sufficiency-- is one of the most powerful economic tools we·know.
People will accept sacrifice in a democracy, not only because they have had a role in
choosing it; but because they rightly believe.they are likely to benefit from it. People are willing
to take responsi~ility for their future -- if they. have the power to determine that future.
Opportunity is just as important. One in three adults in the developing world-- 872
million-- can neither read nor write. There are 125 million primary school age children who are
not in school-- and two out ofthree of them are girls. In fact, study after study have taught us
that educating girls brings a higher return than any single investment we can make in the
·
·
.
developing world.
There is no greater challenge for our global community than to break the vicious cycle of .
pove.rty and ignorance -- and create a virtuous cycle of smaller, healthier, better-educated
families-- with lower child mortality, a~d higher incomes. In this way, we cari seek a new
practical idealism-- grounded in self-interest, but uplifted by what is right. We have it in our
6
�power to build a world that is not just betti~r off, but better.
Let lne dose with the story of Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph. Morse was also a
famous portrait artist in the United States .. _ his portrait of President James Monroe hangs today
· in the White House. While Mors~ was working on a portrait of General Lafayette in
. Washington, his wife, who lived about 500 kilometers away, grew ill and died. But it took seven
days for the news to reach him. Had he known she was sick, he would have been able to return
in time to be with her before she died. In his grief, he began to wonder if it were possible to
erase barriers of time and space, so that no one in such a circumstance would ever again be
. unable to reach a loved one in time of need. Pursuing this thought, he came to discover how to
use electricity to convey messages, and invented the telegraph.
Less than sixteen years later, in 1851, Nathaniel Hawthorne was able to prophesy the
world we now see dawning in the 21st Century: "By means of electricity, the world of matter has
become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time ... the round globe
is a vast ... brain, instinct with intelligence!" ·
·
It all began in a painter's heart.
Let us meet this moment of change in the same way: with innovation, with courage, and
with heart. As a global community of nations, we are more than equal to the challenges we face.
That is why I know the 21st Century will make real the great promise we all seek. Thank you.
