THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release August 5, 1999

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Whether the Republican tax plan is sent to me today, tomorrow, next week, or next month, I will have no choice but to veto it immediately. It threatens Social Security and Medicare, makes it harder to pay off the debt, and imperils the prosperity that has brought real benefits to American families.
