- Description
- Washington correspondent Simon Marks reports on US President, Bill Clinton’s televised attempt to revive his ailing presidency. In one of the most crucial speeches of his political life, President Clinton has laid out his plans for the remaining two years of his administration. The President was forced onto the defensive by the Republicans’ victory in last month’s mid-term elections. He has unveiled plans to cut taxes for America’s middle class and dramatically shrink the size of the US Government. The Republicans say the President is stealing their ideas. Includes excerpts from Clinton’s speech; reply by Senator Fred Thompson. Audio is phono quality.
