Book Description

V.P. Al Gore and senior Clinton Admin. officials met with more than 1,300 industry, environmental, and government leaders from around the U.S. on Dec. 11-13, 1994, to discuss ways to promote economic growth and job creation while preserving the environment. The goal of the conference was to lay the groundwork for developing a national strategy for deploying a new generation of advanced environmental technologies -- technologies with potential to improve U.S. economic competitiveness and position U.S. industry for world leadership in international markets, while at the same time providing for more effective and sustainable environmental protection.
