Just tucking this one away for later: The Internet Archive's snapshot of Dubya's postions on the issues during the 2000 campaign. Some interesting reading there.

More evidence that the administration doesn't care about the public's right to know. This is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  |            Mass Layoff Statistics Program Is Discontinued            |
  |                                                                      |
  |     This is the final news release for the Mass Layoff Statistics    |
  | (MLS) program.  Since 1994, the Department of Labor's Employment     |
  | and Training Administration has funded the program.  That funding    |
  | will end on December 31, 2002.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) | 
  | has been unable to acquire funding from alternative sources and must | 
  | discontinue the MLS program.                                         |
  |                                                                      |
  |     Limited historical data will continue to be available at         |
  | http://www.bls.gov/mls/ on the BLS Web site.                     |
