STATE OF THE UNION
(New language is in bold)
ISSUE # 1 : NEW LANGUAGE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY SECTION
(1)
"Today, Social Security is strong. But in the early part of the next century.
Social Security will be unable to pay out the full benefits today's workers
have been promised."
(2)
"The best way to keep Social Security a rock-solid guarantee is not to make
drastic cuts in benefits... and not to drain resources from Social Security in
the name of saving it. The best way is to work together across party lines
and make the historic decision to invest the surplus to save Social Security."
(3)
"Specifically, I propose that we commit half the budget surplus for the next
1 5 years to Social Security. By investing a small portion of that surplus in
the market -- like every private or state government pension would -- we will
earn a higher return and we will keep Social Security sound for the next 50
years.
We must aim higher. If we are willing to work on a bipartisan basis to make
tough-minded, but achievable choices, we can save Social Security for even
longer - while making it even stronger.
Our goal should be to put Social Security on a sound footing for at least the
next 75 years.
Our goal should be to reduce poverty among elderly women - particularly
among those who have lost their husbands -- which is nearly twice the
overall poverty rate for older Americans.
Our goal should be to eliminate the earnings test which discourages too
many of our senior citizens on Social Security from working or earning for
themselves.
It will not be easy, but we have to do it - and we should do it this year.
Across this country -- over the past year - I have heard from the American
people and their message is clear: they want us to commit together to save
and improve Social Security for the 21st century. Now."
(4)
"Third, we must help all Americans, from their first day on the job, to save,
to invest, to create wealth. A strong Social Security system is necessary,
but not sufficient for true retirement security. In addition to the Social
Security they need, Americans need to have pensions and personal savings.

But today, tens of millions...."
(5)
OUT OF LONG-TERM CARE SECTION: "Fifth, even as we seek to save
Medicare and Social Security, we can commit $150 billion to reduce our
national debt over the next few years and 10 percent of our surplus
thereafter to ensure that we do not leave a legacy of debt for our children
and grandchildren.
ISSUE # 2 : INSERT FOR EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY SECTION
(1)
"With our help.... six years ago. Since 1993, we have increased by
thirty-fold our investments in education technology for our children. And this
year, our schools will receive more than $1 billion in discounts to make
Internet connections affordable.
ISSUE # 3 : INSERT FOR MENTORING/AMERICA READS PARAGRAPH
(1)
"We are marshaling a volunteer army of college students to teach young
children to read, we are expanding our efforts to cut the high school drop out
rate, particularly among Hispanics and African Americans, and we are
doubling our Gear-up initiative to mentor and guide hundreds of thousands of
middle-school children away from the streets and onto a path to college."
ISSUE # 4 : INSERT FOR FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT
(1)
"I am proud that the Family Medical Leave Act was the first bill I signed into
law. Since then, Americans have taken leave more than 17 million times to
care for a new baby, an ailing relative, or to attend to their o w n serious
health needs without risking their jobs, at minimal cost to employers."
ISSUE # 5 : INSERT FOR ADULT LITERACY
(1)
"Now I recommend a national campaign to increase adult literacy for one of
four working people who read at less than a fifth grade level so that they can
read to their children or get their GED."
ISSUE # 6 : INSERT FOR RE-EMPLOYMENT SECTION
(1)
"...and a long-term commitment that every American who loses a job can go
to a One-Stop Career Center and get the job search assistance and training
they need. With a simple phone call, we will make it possible for Americans
to plan for their future and get job referrals."

ISSUE #7: INSERT FOR NEW MARKETS INITIATIVE
(1)
"The largest untapped markets are not overseas -- they are in our own
backyards. My balanced budget proposes a New Markets initiative, with tax
credits, incentives, and loan guarantees to help bring $15 billion in new
capital for businesses and entrepreneurs in our underserved areas - from
Atlanta to Appalachia. An entrepreneurial mind is a terrible thing to waste -that is why my budget dramatically expands our micro-lending to new small
businesses.
My balanced budget also continues to expand the network of community
development banks and provides tax credits and 100,000 vouchers so
people can find affordable housing."
ISSUE #8: CHANGE TO MANUFACTURING EXPORTS SECTION
FROM: "We must do more to help American manufacturers hit hard by the
present crisis. I ask the Congress to provide $2 billion in new credit to
promote U.S. manufacturing exports abroad."
TO: "We must do more to help American manufacturers hit hard by the
present crisis. I will ask the Congress to put in place a new initiative to spur
nearly $2 billion in new American manufacturing exports abroad."
ISSUE #9: TRADE LANGUAGE
"We must also press for trade that promotes the dignity of work and the
rights of workers... We must remember that open trade begins with open
ideas and freedom. We must insist that trade rules never be used... race to
the bottom among nations. If we can move past the old divide of open trade
versus labor standards and the environment, we can move forward with a
new consensus of opening markets while protecting labor and the
environment. Then, at last, we can pass legislation granting the President
traditional trade authority to advance our prosperity."
ISSUE #10: CHILD LABOR LANGUAGE
"We will work with the International Labor Organization on a new initiative to
lift labor standards around the world and continue to expand our partnerships
to end sweatshops. And we must act, once and for all, to end the most
exploitative trade practices of all: This year, with America leading the way,
we must complete and send for ratification a new international agreement to
ban child labor everywhere in the world."
