THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary


For Immediate Release May 8, 1996

STATEMENT BY CHIEF OF STAFF LEON PANETTA

The President has asked Senators Daschle and Kennedy to accept Senator Dole's counter-proposal for votes on three separate bills: the Minimum Wage, the Gas Tax, and the Team Act.

The President believes this will break the gridlock in Congress and enable us to move forward with the crucial national work at hand.
