Clinton warmly greets media
PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — President-elect Clinton looked right at home and just plain happy to be there as he walked into a room full of TV lights for his first formal news conference since winning the election.
He smiled a lot yesterday as he fielded 40-minutes worth of queries. Someone asked if he was starting to feel a little overwhelmed by the enormity of his new responsibilities.

"No, I'm having a wonderful time," Clinton said, laughing and obviously meaning it. That response even sparked a smile from Vice President-elect Albert Gore, who stood silent, stiff and stern-looking behind him for the duration, nodding in agreement as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Clinton, on the other hand, looked cool, relaxed and healthier than he has in months. Gone were the bags

He looked like he could settle right in to this sort of thing. When someone asked for more specifics about his ethics guidelines, Clinton would not expand.

that sagged under his eyes for the last grueling weeks of campaigning.
"Otherwise we won't have anything else to do the next time we meet," he said.

Clinton started off by welcoming the 100 reporters and TV journalists to the Arkansas statehouse, which he called his favorite building in the state.
He wore a classic blue suit with aired tie — but it wasn't totally conservative. His tie had blue paisley decorations on it. He stood under a chandelier with a presidential-looking eagle atop it, and U.S. and Arkansas flags were in the background.
The news conference was held in the former house chambers, where, as the lore goes, a state representative was killed in a knife fight in 1837 in a dispute with the House speaker over the bounty on wolf pelts.
He sounded like he couldn't wait.
He joked a few times, too. He was asked how often he'd be seen in the streets of the nation's capital.
"Little Rock is not Washington," the questioner said.

"Thank goodness," Clinton cracked. Another questioner asked about Ross Perot and whether Clinton would invite him to the economic summit.

WASHINGTON — With Bill Clinton on his way to the White House, the Endangered Species Act seems to be on safer ground — and that's good news for the Snake River sockeye salmon, not to mention the rare Furbish Lousewort.
Endangered Species Act finds ally
"Well, I expect he'll have a chance to get under the hood," he said.
The Associated Press
The 20-year old law, which protects more than 600 rare species of plants, fish and wildlife, has been under intense attack from the Bush administration, especially as it applies to the northern spotted owl.

The White House has been intent on trying to substantially gut the law, said William Stelle Jr., a staff worker of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee. He and most environmentalists think the assault will stop under Clinton.
Plant Imparts
Environmentalists say a significant weakening of the law by considering economic effects, as Bush as urged, could threaten some species already under its protection — such as the Snake River sockeye, listed as endangered last year. The Furbish Lousewort, an herbal plant found in Maine, has been considered endangered for
ANALYSIS
more than a dozen years
Stelle and environmental leaders think there will still be a contentious congressional debate next year over the law, especially as it applies to the northern spotted owl, whose survival has threatened thousands of logging jobs in the Northwest.
But the law's detractors will have lost one of their strongest allies in the war.
"A Clinton administration is going to come in and basically say the act is OK, and so let's not get bogged down in major changes," said Sharon Newsome, vice president for resource conservation at the National Wildlife Federation.
With the defeat of Bush, a long and bruising fight has been averted, she said.
Bush made no secret that he intended next year to push for changes in the law, which he feels is too heavily weighted toward protecting plants and wildlife at the expense of people.
"The law is broken. It must be fixed." Bush said in the last weeks before the Nov. 3 election as he campaigned
in Oregon. "It's time to make people more important than owls."
At the Interior Department, planners already had begun crafting legislative proposals to require that economic considerations such as job losses be given more prominence when a decision is made to protect a plant or animal.
Environmentalists argue that the law already allows for economic issues to be raised as part of an appeals process added in 1977. That year Congress created a special appeals committee, which can sidestep the law if certain public interest concerns are demonstrated.

On a visit to Oregon, Clinton promised a forest summit early in his presidency in hopes of working out agreements and programs to ease some of the impact of the spotted owl protection plan on loggers while still protecting the owl.
"Science should be the sole criteria in determining whether species should be listed as endangered," he told the League of Conservation Voters.
During the campaign, Clinton sided with environmentalists.
