Bush aide clarifies statements on exporting jobs
Thursday February 12, 6:49 pm ET

WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Under pressure from Republicans, one of President
George W. Bush's top economic advisers sought to defuse an election-year
controversy on Thursday by saying he did not intend to voice support for shifting U.S.
jobs overseas.

"My lack of clarity left the wrong impression that I praised the loss of U.S. jobs," Gregory
Mankiw, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said in a letter to
House of Representatives Speaker Dennis Hastert.

With political concern about unemployment heating up ahead of the November
presidential election, critics have seized on Mankiw's characterization earlier this week
of "outsourcing" by U.S. companies as "something that we should realize is probably a
plus for the economy in the long run."
