Clinton salutes FDR,
claims his legacy
□ The President noted similarities be
tween Roosevelt and himself.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — Celebrating the legacy
of Franklin D. Roosevelt at his “Little White House,”
President Clinton said Wednesday that FDR would have
been on his side in fighting efforts to cut aid for the
needy or retreat from America’s obligations abroad.
Marking the 50th anniversary of Roosevelt’s death,
Clinton said the key to raising Americans’ stagnant
wages is through education. He warned Republicans
he will not sign any tax-cut bill unless it helps pay the
costs of education.
“Education is the fault line in America today,”
Clinton said in his most direct statement yet on
what he’ll demand in a tax bill. “Those who have it
are doing well in the global economy. Those who
don’t are not doing well.”
Clinton spoke in front of the white clapboard cot
tage in Warm Springs, where Roosevelt sought relief
from the paralysis of polio and where, on April 12,
1945, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 63.
“He led us from the depths of economic despair
through a Depression, to victory in the war, to the
threshold of the promise of the postwar America he
unfolded.”
It was Clinton’s first trip to Warm Springs, and he
said he’d always wanted to visit the memorial to one of
America’s greatest political leaders. “My grandfather
thought he was going to go to Roosevelt when he died,”
the president told reporters on Air Force One.
Framed by the white pillars on the front porch of
Roosevelt’s Little White House, Clinton said FDR
would have welcomed the debate about the role of gov
ernment, in which many Republic/ans are trying to
dismantle the liberal foundation that he laid.
“And so I believe if President Roosevelt were here,
he would say, ‘Let’s have a great old-fashioned debate
about the role of government and let’s make it less bu
reaucratic and more flexible,”’ Clinton said.
He said Roosevelt would say, ‘Let’s put a sense of
independence back into our welfare system.’ But he
would also say, ‘Let’s not forget that what really works
in life is when people get a hand up, not a handout;
when Americans go up or down together.’”
Clinton worried that if Roosevelt were alive today,
“he would see, indeed, a country encrusted with cyni
cism. He would see an insensitivity on the part of peo
ple who say, ‘Well, I made it, and why should I help
anyone else. ...’
“That was not Franklin Roosevelt. He was not cyni
cal, he was not angry, he was not insensitive, he did not
believe in division and he certainly was not confused.”
Noting the tax-cut fever in Washington, Clinton
said, “We have to worry about how much and who gets
it and what for: We should not do it if we have to cut
education. We should not do it if we have to explode
the deficit.

Republicans call for investigation into TEC
□ The Texas GOP
claims that state money
has been used to criti
cize the political party.
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas House
Republican leaders Wednesday
called for an investigation into
whether state Employment
Commissioner Jackie St. Clair il
legally used tax money to pub
lish a newsletter critical of the
new Republican Congress.
The House GOP Caucus
wants Travis County District At
torney Ronnie Earle to investi
gate the matter.
“It’s our contention, after
looking at this, that this is paid
for by state funds to do a politi
cal hatchet job on the Republi
can Party,” caucus Chairman
Tom Craddick, R-Midland, said.
“I think this is an illegal use of
state funds.”
St. Clair, a Democrat appoint
ed by former Gov. Ann Richards
as the commission’s labor repre
sentative, responded that he is
simply doing his job by publish
ing a newsletter that targets the
interests of his constituency.
“I don’t feel it’s improper; I
think it’s my duty,” he said. “If
I thought I was being improper,
I sure wouldn’t have done it.
All I want to do is what my job
says, and I thought that’s what
I was doing.”
The three-person commission
includes a labor representative,
an employer representative and
a representative of the general
public.
At issue is the latest edition
of Labor News, a quarterly
newsletter published by St.
Clair.
The newsletter, which St.
Clair said has been published
by the TEC’s labor representa
tive for about 30 years, costs 15
cents a copy and is paid for
with state money. About 6,000
copies are printed each quarter,
St. Clair said.
Craddick cited three articles
in the seven-page newsletter
that he said espouse the political
agenda of St. Clair. Two of the
articles are written by St. Clair:
the other is a reprint.
In one article, St. Clair dis
cusses the need for citizens and
the government to work togeth
er, stating, “The recent rhetorit
of the new Republican leader
ship has probably only reduced
civility.”
He writes in another that
Texas has lost influence in Con
gress, despite the appointment
of several Texas Republicans to
leadership positions.
“In all likelihood, the change
of control is less positive foralot
of Texas interests that had be
come used to exercising power
through the well-established, re
peatedly re-elected Democrats,'
the article states.

time to make it right. Drawing on the feeling that makes it soar. And if
the job is done right, the end result can be something truly special.
For RADNEY FOSTER, it's a LABOR OF LOVE.
