I forgot to add this bit of information. It was Bob Dole who first phrased the term Bridge to the 21th century. I remember Dole saying this in one of his speeches. Shortly after, clinton, being the theif that he is, took the phrase for himself. I often wondered why Dole didn't make an issue of clinton stealing the phrase.

Carter, Bush - they are both presidents, so I guess it's close enough for some. ;-)
