    Statement on Robert E. Rubin's Acceptance of the Chairman of the Board
    Position at the Local Initiatives Support Corporation

    September 16, 1999

        I am pleased that Bob Rubin has accepted the job as Chairman of the
    Board of LISC. This service is consistent with his longstanding
    commitment to bring economic opportunities to America's most underserved
    communities. His selection is not only a tremendous boost for LISC but
    also for those who advocate community economic development to ensure
    that all Americans share in our economic prosperity.
