Clinton rebuffs Perot attack on proposed free trade pact
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration mounted an attack yesterday on Ross Perot's new book that is critical of the proposed North American Free Trade Agreement.
The Associated Press
U. S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor called a news conference to issue a 73-page rebuttal and said that the newly issued book by the 1992 independent presidential candidate was "ridden with inaccuracies, errors and misleading statements."
"We want to make sure that as we start this critical debate for the country that the facts are clear and straight," Kantor said.
The charge against Perot, one of the most vocal opponents of the NAFTA treaty, comes just weeks before the White House makes its formal sales pitch to a Congress
that is sharply divided over the merits of the pact.
Over a 15-year period, NAFTA would phase out most barriers to the free movement of goods, services and investment between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
President Clinton is expected to present officially the 2,000-page treaty and accompanying side accords on the environment and labor to lawmakers during a speech Sept. 14, congressional sources said.
Congressional hearings on the trade accord, which has been roundly denounced by labor unions and many environmentalists, are planned for after the accord is sent to Capitol Hill.
The outcome in Congress remains unclear, said William Daley, who is leading the administration's NAFTA lobbying effort.
"I don't think anyone has the votes on either side to have that vote today and feel confident," he said.
Air bags to be standard in 1998 cars
But industry compliance is likely to come sooner
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Front-seat air bags will be a mandatory feature in new cars starting with the 1998 model year, but automakers likely will meet the federal regulation before then.
air bags and lap and shoulder belts for the driver and front-seat passengers
The final rule was scheduled to be issued yesterday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
At least 95 percent of each manufacturer's car fleet built on or after Sept. 1, 1996, must be equipped with both
For the model year beginning Sept. 1, 1997, all passenger cars will be required to have air bags and manual belts in the front seat.
"We want to emphasize that it is critical for passengers in automobiles and trucks to wear both lap and shoulder seat belts even with air bags," Transportation Secretary Federico Pena said.
Judith Stone, president of the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said air bags became a marketing issue because "they work, they're wonderful in their efficiency and their effectiveness."
Pena also emphasized that parents shouldn't put rear-facing child seats in the front-seat of vehicles with air bags because the child could be injured when the bags inflate.
Issuance of the final rule is anti-chimactic because most manufacturers will meet the standard before they are required to, said Brian O'Neill, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
"Therefore, it became good business to sell them," Stone said. "We're absolutely delighted the manufacturers are moving as quickly as they are to put air bags in."
