another farewell gift to the thieves, liars, and fornicators of the Clinton Administrations. this is saying "screw America who gives a shit about ethics". Friday, December 29, 2000 1:04 p.m. EST The Most Ethical Administration in History? President Clinton issues an executive order revoking his first executive order, entitled "Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees." The White House touted that Jan. 20, 1993, order in a press release as "establishing the most stringent ethical requirements of any administration ever." The original order restricted administration officials from lobbying the federal government until five years after the officials left office, or from ever representing foreign governments. A Wall Street Journal news article (link for WSJ.com subscribers) says "Clinton's decision enhances the career prospects for thousands of Democrats who will be looking for work as lobbyists." pub.whitehouse.gov THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release December 28, 2000 EXECUTIVE ORDER - - - - - - - REVOCATION OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 12834 By the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and sections 3301 and 7301 of title 5, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows: Executive Order 12834 of January 20, 1993, "Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees," is hereby revoked, effective at noon January 20, 2001.
