This panel discussion will consider themes President Clinton is likely to sound and proposals he may make in his final State of the Union Address (January 27). Norman J. Ornstein, coauthor of Vital Statistics on Congress 1999-2000, will begin the discussion by looking at what the president would like to accomplish politically in his last year in office. Lawrence B. Lindsey, former governor of the Federal Reserve System, will review the administration’s economic agenda. Richard Perle, former assistant secretary of defense for international security policy, will discuss major foreign policy and defense issues facing the Clinton administration. John E. Calfee, author of the forthcoming book, Prices, Markets, and the Pharmaceutical Revolution, will look at what we might expect the president to say on the hot-button issue of health care.
