Located just seven miles south of Dulles International Airport and 25 minutes from the nation's capital, the Westfields International Conference Center is specially designed to serve the most senior corporate, association and government meetings.
The Westfields International Conference Center expresses the charm of Virginia's magnificent colonial estates. Designed to satisfy the most demanding corporate and government meetings, this Georgian structure conveys the elegance of the nation's capital in a gracious setting.
The Rotunda is the circulation core of the Center which provides convenient access to superb dining, relaxing social and conversation areas, and over 40,000 square feet of meeting space in 30 meeting rooms. The 200 seat classified briefing auditorium with front and rear screen projection and simultaneous voice translation is adjacent to the Media Center which is the nerve center of the property's state-of-the-art audio visual systems.
Each of the 340 guest rooms and suites is luxuriously appointed in keeping with the Center's estate-like character. For "after hours" enjoyment and relaxation there is the Westfields Lounge and Wellington's Pub. Recreation amenities include jogging and cycling paths, tennis and volleyball courts and fully equipped men's and women's health spas with steam, sauna, massage and exercise equipment. The 20,000 square foot Club at Westfields offers the finest in conditioning and strength training equipment, lap and hydrotherapy pools and an aerobics classroom, all supported by a staff of health and exercise professionals.
The Center is truly a special place, capable of raising expectations which are met by a professionally trained staff.
Westfields is an eleven hundred acre corporate office park accessible via two interchanges on Route 28, the new "high tech highway" in Fairfax County which is currently being expanded to six lanes.
Westfields is designed for businesses which consider their employees to be their most important asset. An extraordinary emphasis has been placed on creating a people-oriented workplace and on preserving the natural beauty of Westfields.
The Westfields International Conference Center is the third of a nationwide network of superior conference facilities developed and operated by International Conference Resorts of America and its affiliates, which includes: The Scottsdale Conference Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona and The Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Therapeutic Massage
Within the confines of Westfields International Conference Center, you will experience elegant accommodations, excellent cuisine and a multi-media conference facility. To fulfill ones recreational needs, we offer our Sports and Fitness Studio located on the lower level of Peale Guest Room Wing. Operating from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, the studio offers a toning gym, indoor lap pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam and massage.
Todays life style is so hectic that we often do not take time out of our daily routine to be good to ourselves. There is always a meeting to go to, a phone call to make or a luncheon to attend. During your stay at Westfields, we want to offer you an opportunity to reduce your stress level through therapeutic massage.
You may experience tightness in your neck, shoulders and lower back after sitting in meetings all day. Therapeutic massage applied to these areas brings relief to stiff and aching muscles and promotes relaxation which has a calming effect on the central nervous system.
Massage is basically the physical manipulation of muscles, ligaments and connective tissue. It is a healing art that has been used from centuries to soothe, heal and relax. Massage reduces tension and stress, allowing increased circulation and nutritional flow to the muscles. Many people are unsure of what to expect while receiving a massage. Therefore, we have addressed some of the most common concerns.
- What does one wear when receiving a massage?
During the massage, your entire body is covered with a sheet and only the body part being worked on will be exposed. Some people choose to wear nothing, others wear underwear or a swimsuit
- Will a person of the same gender perform the massage?
It is a common practice for a person of the same gender to give the massage.
- How does one feel after the massage?
One will leave the massage studio feeling refreshed, calm and energized. Massage opens the communication between the body and mind allowing one to resume meetings thinking more clearly.

WHAT IS THE AMERICAN BOARD OF TRIAL ADVOCATES?
In 1958, the American Board of Trial Advocates was created as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to defending the American Civil Justice System. At the time, the Constitutional right to trial by jury was coming under heavy fire.
At the heart of the attack - - and our continuing role as defenders of the system - - is the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees the jury's role as the protector of the rights of person and property, and as the determiner of the outcome of many court cases.
Made up of seasoned trial attorneys representing both plaintiffs and defendants in civil cases, ABOTA is uniquely qualified to speak from a consensus perspective of lawyers who know how the American jury system operates.
As the years have progressed, so too has ABOTA's role in American jurisprudence. While some have espoused radical ideas intended to relieve this problem by changing the very essence of the jury trial apparatus - - and the Seventh Amendment itself - - ABOTA's mission as defender has remained steadfast.
Correcting the problems facing today's Civil Justice System is no different than correcting problems in a rapidly changing and complex society; it is a matter of proper organization and efficient management. Population trends and new, specialized areas of litigation require an enlargement of the bench and an improvement in trial management.
ABOTA believes that these problems can and should be solved with little or no change in the basic principles of litigation traditional in the Anglo-American system of jurisprudence. As advocates of integrity and ethical standards, we are determined to ensure the jury system remains at the very heart of the American Civil Justice System.

MYTHS & FACTS
OF THE
AMERICAN CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEM
For many years, myths surrounding the use of the jury apparatus in the American Civil Justice System has led people to believe there must be a better way.
Over the next few pages, a few of those myths are answered with facts. Play the role of juror and decide for yourself.
MYTH: The Bill of Rights does not guarantee a jury trial in a civil case.
FACT: The Seventh Amendment explicitly guarantees to all Americans the right to trial by jury in any controversy involving more than twenty dollars. 1
MYTH: Juries are made up of the unemployed and illiterate, not a true representation of the American community.
FACT: Juries typically are chosen from voter registration lists, which often represents a wide- ranging and diverse facet of a community at large. While members of every socio-economic class often fail to register to vote, the lists have provided a fair representation of the population.2
MYTH: The use of the jury system slows the civil justice system.
FACT: Often the possibility of facing the certain finality of a decision by a jury keeps a case from going to trial in the first place. Most litigants would prefer to settle cases themselves, rather than let someone else decide for them. By filing a formal demand to have a case heard before a jury, the plaintiff can encourage a speedy settlement, and the defense may be more willing to agree to a fair resolution of the case.
MYTH: Jurors often arrive at the wrong or misinformed decisions when deciding the cases they sit on, and too often in civil cases, juries find for the plaintiff.
FACT: A University of Chicago Law School Jury Project determined that in both civil and criminal cases, 78 percent of the time both judges and juries arrived at the same conclusions for given cases. The project also reported that when judges and juries disagreed, the jury decisions were split evenly between plaintiff and defendant.3
MYTH: People in the United States are "sue crazy."
FACT: Americans today file fewer suits per capita than did their Colonial counterparts. The Constitution guarantees an American's right to seek redress of grievances, against the government, a company or his fellow citizen. Because people seek to utilize that right does not mean the civil justice system is either flawed or over-used. It is simply utilized for the purpose it was designed.4
MYTH: The number of lawsuits filed in the United States has risen dramatically in recent years.
FACT: Recent surveys indicate that the filing of lawsuits, numbered at 17.3 million annually, is increasing at a smaller proportion than the population is increasing. Of all these lawsuits, only 447,000 are injury cases.5
MYTH: Medical malpractice cases cause substantial increases in health care costs.
FACT: To the contrary, the cost of medical malpractice settlement payments represents less than one percent of the $675 billion health care costs expended annually in the United States.6
MYTH: Anyone with a bad outcome in a hospital or while under a doctor's care files a lawsuit.
FACT: A Harvard Medical School survey in New York City (one of the largest court filing centers in the country) indicated that less than one in 10 persons who are victims of malpractice ever bring a claim.7
MYTH: Medical malpractice verdicts and the dollar awards often rendered in the United States are out of control and unreasonable.
FACT: Because trials are conducted before a jury made up of members of the community, the figures arrived at represent what the citizenry deem appropriate. Most courts have the authority in the appropriate circumstances to change a jury's award if unwarranted by the evidence.
MYTH: By reducing the number of lawyers in the United States, the cost of litigation and the number of lawsuits filed each year will drop.
FACT: Lawsuits are brought by businesses and individuals who hire attorneys. But, attorneys do more than simply file suits on behalf of clients seeking liability awards. Attorneys work to protect the rights of all Americans by fervently protecting the rights of the poor, the injured, victims of racial violence or discrimination, and ensuring that the Constitution is not sidestepped. From planning business ventures to filing wills and lawsuits, attorneys play an important role in every facet of American life.
MYTH: People dislike serving on juries.
FACT: The National Center for State Courts' recent survey revealed that 81 percent of those who served on juries had a favorable attitude toward jury service.8
MYTH: Juries have their own agendas when deciding cases, especially in sensationalized trials.
FACT: It was once said by former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas that the jury is the only agency of the government with no ambition and no political gain to be had from their verdicts. The jury's role is essential to the system. Thomas Jefferson once called the jury system the public's line of defense when the government acts oppressively, and he deemed the right to trial by jury even more important in a democracy than the right to vote.9
MYTH: Many lawyers criticize the American civil justice system, becoming part of the problem and not the solution.
FACT: ABOTA actively provides alternative solutions to the problems facing our courts today, while helping to dispel myths and rumors concerning the world's most equitable and democratic form of justice: The American Civil Justice System.10

-SHEILA- Per our discussion on Al
SENATOR: Re: Republican retreat -- a strategy for the "investigations."
It is increasingly clear that Democrats are again gearing up for an aggressive, three-pronged partisan attack on Republicans and Bush this Spring/Summer/Fall -- using our favorite "investigations:" POW/MIAs, the October surprise, and BCCI. While the three are quite different, they all have a common Democratic thread -- orchestrating them to produce some kind of "spectacular" -- a critical report, a purposely instigated showdown, etc. -- for the September/October pre-election period.
It is not clear that the Administration, or Senate Republicans, have sufficiently focused on this potential political threat; it is clear, on the other hand, that we have not worked out an effective strategy to manage these three investigations, or for that matter any one of them. We are dealing piecemeal, if at all, with a coordinated Democratic assault. Moreover, exacerbating the whole situation is the fact that some Republicans, for their own reasons, are "aiding and abetting" the Democrats' misuse of these investigations.
It seems to me this issue -- these investigations, and what we should do about them -- ought to be on the agenda for this weekend's retreat. It is an ideal time -- in fact, high time -- for us to "get our act together" to face this real problem.
Some thoughts on the individual investigations :
POW/MIAs.
This is probably the easiest of the three to deal with from a political perspective. Even in a worst case political scenario -- that a strong case emerges that there has been a "cover-up" in the past -- it is hard to see how this would "stick" to Bush. What could "stick," of course, would be evidence that this Administration was "stonewalling" in its cooperation with the Committee -- a case Kerry and Company were trying to help establish through their recent, hastily issued subpoenas -- or, if real evidence of a past coverup or incompetence emerge, refused to face up to the facts. That suggests to me that our strategy ought to twofold:
1. "Constructive engagement" -- trying to keep the investigation moving along responsibly, avoiding any evidence/appearance of "stonewalling," "letting the chips fall where they may."
2. Keeping a close eye on Kerry, and blowing the whistle whenever he becomes overtly partisan in his conduct; and keeping pressure on Smith to avoid being led by his zeal into situations where he is "aiding and abetting" an unwarranted attack on Bush.
(end of page 67)
(page 68)
-2-
October surprise.
Using the investigative resources that Ford authorized, and others they are trying to get (including some from the Executive Branch! -- see below) this "non- committee" is now fully launched on a witchhunt. According to Republicans on Foreign Relations, they plan initially to issue about 20 subpoenas -- half and half to Republicans and foreigners -- and "sweat" the Republicans until one of them is willing to "turn state's evidence" and accuse Bush and/or Casey and/or someone else in the Bush campaign of wrongdoing.
As evidence of the fact that we are not responding in a very coherent way to this potential problem, a "non-committee" request for help in the form of a special investigator from IRS is apparently being routinely and sympathetically processed by the Executive Branch.
Unlike the POW/MIAs case, this may be one where our posture ought to be to stand up and "blow the whistle" on this partisan enterprise, refusing any involvement or cooperation -- both here in the Senate, and in terms of the Executive Branch. We can certainly make the case that the Senate specifically decided not to authorize this investigation -- so what are we doing having it? Obviously complicating that posture is Jeffords apparently enthusiastic support for the investigation and obliviousness to its partisan overtones. If we let this investigation proceed with our blessing, and somewhere down the road some "witness" decides he/she has to save his/her skin by implicating the Bush campaign, we are cooked.
BCCI.
The Democrats are now using this one to focus on Jim Lake (I can already see the headlines about his subpoena) and, potentially, others in the current Bush operation who may have some tenuous, indirect connections to characters involved in the scandal.
Of course, this is one where many Democrats -- more Democrats, in fact, than Republicans -- are vulnerable, including some doing serious fundraising for current Democratic candidates. For that reason, we ought to "shoot a few shots across the bow" now -- signaling if the Democrats want to play rough with Lake and company, we will respond in kind. Our problem here is resources -- the Democrats are being aggressively served by Committee staff; we need to find compensatory, focused resources, either among Republican staff or in the Administration.

STATE EXPORTS TO THE WORLD: 1987-1990 OVERVIEW
• U.S. merchandise exports increased from $252.9 billion in 1987 to $393 billion in 1990, an increase of 55.4 percent, or $140.1 billion. U.S. exports in 1990 were 8 percent above their 1989 level of $363.8 billion.
• The top ten state exporters in 1990 were: California ($58.4 billion), Texas ($41.4 billion), New York ($31.4 billion), Washington state ($28.8 billion), Michigan ($20.9 billion), Louisiana ($16.8 billion), Florida ($16.3 billion), Ohio ($15.9 billion), Illinois ($15.7 billion), and Massachusetts ($11.6 billion).
• Of the seven major regions of the country, the Pacific states (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington state) collectively exported the most in 1990. These states together accounted for $96 billion, or nearly one-fourth, of the nation's exports.
• During 1987-90, virtually all the fifty states and the District of Columbia boosted their exports. Every major region of the nation recorded significant export gains.
-- California led the nation with a $24.1 billion increase in shipments abroad.
-- This was followed by Texas (up $16.0 billion), Washington state (up $15.8 billion), New York (up $11.5 billion), and Illinois (up $7.0 billion).
-- These five states together accounted for slightly more than half of the total dollar increase in U.S. exports over the 1987-90 period.
-- On a regional basis, the combined exports of the Pacific states rose $43.6 billion -- the largest dollar increase of any region.
• Five states more than doubled their exports to the world during 1987-1990. Thirty other states increased exports by more than 50 percent.
-- South Dakota -- which in dollar terms is a relatively small exporter -- expanded shipments abroad by about 270 percent, faster than any other state.
-- Following South Dakota were Vermont (167 percent), Utah (126 percent), Washington state (121 percent), and Delaware (105 percent).
(page 70)
(page 71)
-- From a regional perspective, export growth during 1987-90 ranged from 45 percent for the North Central region to 83 percent for the Pacific region.
• The 1989-90 state export picture was similar to that outlined above for 1987- 90.
-- Forty-six states and the District of Columbia saw their exports grow in 1990.
-- Three states -- California, Washington state, and New York -- each expanded foreign sales by over $4 billion.
-- Twelve more states each boosted exports by more than $1 billion.
-- Seventeen states and D.C. increased exports by 20 percent or more in 1990. The leaders in percentage growth were all relatively small exporters -- i.e., South Dakota, Nevada, Utah, Delaware, and D.C.
• California exported to the largest number of foreign markets in 1990, shipping to 196 of the 217 officially recognized destinations for U.S. products. California was followed by New York (193 markets), Texas (192 markets), Illinois (186 markets) and Georgia and Washington state (each with 180 markets).
• From 1987 to 1990, 49 states and D.C. expanded the number of markets to which they export. Twenty-five states exported to more than 150 markets in 1990, up from 14 states in 1987.
-- Washington state, California, and Kansas added 30 or more foreign markets over the 1987-90 period.
-- Nineteen other states added 20 or more new markets.

CITIZEN'S FOR TAX JUSTICE
1311 L Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20005
(202) 626-3780
Founded in 1979, Citizen's for Tax Justice (CTJ) describes itself as "a non-profit coalition of labor, public interest and citizens groups across the United States". Its goals are generally couched in terms of the need for everyone to pay his "fair share" of taxes. The heart of its operation is the publication and dissemination of studies that are anti-supply-side and anti-corporate in tone. This tone is not surprising considering CTJ's long established labor union backing. As recently as 1984, its office space was donated by the Service Employees International Union.
CTJ bills itself as a coalition of constituent organizations including the following: the National Center for Policy Alternatives (created in 1975 by the Marxist-oriented Institute for Policy Studies), the United States Student Association, the League of Women Voters (which actively lobbies for increased government intervention in the economy), Public Citizen (an umbrella organization of the Ralph Nader complex), ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now which was created in 1970 by activists in the ultra-left Students for a Democratic Society) and affiliates of Citizen Action (which was created in the mid-west by former SDS member Heather Booth).
Robert S. McIntyre, executive director of CTJ, has been with the organization since 1980, but it is his prior employment that is significant; before joining CTJ, he served as director of the Tax Reform Research Group, a now-defunct operation of Ralph Nader's Public Citizen organization. Several weeks ago, McIntyre took a leave of absence from CTJ to become a senior policy advisor to the Clinton for President campaign.
McIntyre's predecessor as Executive Director was David Wilhelm. Wilhelm has been the research director of the AFL- CIO Public Employee Department, field director in Iowa for the Biden for President campaign in 1988, director of the Paul Simon for Senate campaign in 1990 and, most recently, director in Illinois for the Clinton for President campaign.

CITIZEN'S FOR TAX JUSTICE
CTJ is a 501(c) (4) having no PAC, and at the time of this report its funding sources, budget, membership rolls and number of chapters were not being made available to the public.
The 1991 board included:
Ira Arlook
- President, represents the Ohio Public Interest Campaign and has served on the boards of the Conference on Alternative State and Local policies and the Citizen/Labor Energy Coalition (C/LEC), in addition to being the executive director of Citizen Action.
John Sweeney
- Secretary, and represents the Service Employees International Union, also has been involved with C/LEC.
William Hutton
- Treasurer, represents the National Council of Senior Citizens and has also had experience with C/LEC.
Morton Bahr
- Member of the Board, representing the Communications Workers of America.
Owen Beiber
- Member of the Board, represents UAW.
Joan Claybrook
- Member of the Board, representing Public Citizen
Lane Kirkland
- Member of the Board, represents the AFL-CIO.
Maude Hurd
- Member of the Board, representing ACORN.
Benjamin Hooks
- Member of the Board, with the NAACP.
Albert Shanker
- Member of the Board, with the American Federation of Teachers.
Organized labor's complete domination of CTJ can be seen by a listing in the CTJ annual report of support received from, among others, the AFL-CIO, AFGE, AFSCME, AFT, Bakery, Confectionery and Tobacco Workers, Building and Construction Trades Dept. of the AFL-CIO, CWA, Industrial Dept. of the AFL-CIO, Intl. Association of Machinists, Intl. Union of Electronic Workers, Intl. Union of Operating Engineers, UAW, Natl. Treasury Employees Union, etc.

CITIZEN'S FOR TAX JUSTICE
Several of CTJ's primary concerns include tax equity or "fairness" issues like state tax fairness, "legalized tax avoidance by the wealthy", "regressive excise taxes", sales taxes, and closing "tax loopholes." Its recent publications include "Money for Nothing: The Failure of the Corporate Tax Incentives, 1981-1984", "130 Reasons Why We Need Tax Reform", and "No-Tax PACs Put Faith in the GOP". CTJ's newsletter, "Just Taxes", is issued quarterly.
CTJ is often quoted in the media as a source on tax policy and tax equity issues. On September 13, 1991, the Washington Post, describing CTJ as a "nonpartisan group", cited its report entitled "Inequality and the Federal Budget Deficit" to show that fifteen years of tax cutting and supply-side economic policies have "enriched the rich" and placed an undue tax burden on the middle class. The Post noted that the CTJ study was introduced at a Capitol Hill press conference the previous day by House Majority Richard Gephardt who accused Presidents Reagan and Bush of "carrying on a class war against the middle-income working families to the benefit of the wealthiest people in our society".
On March 25, 1992, ABC-TV's World News Tonight used a CTJ study to criticize the flat-tax plan offered by Gov. Jerry Brown, without disclosing the connection between CTJ and the Clinton campaign.
These are among a few legislative initiatives that have been on CTJ's wish list over the past several years:
- Higher taxes on multinational corporations.
- a 25% "Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax".
- Higher taxes on "the Forbes 400".
- Other "income tax base broadeners" like "taxing capital gains on inherited property".
- Income tax rates as high as 38 percent.

CITIZEN'S FOR TAX JUSTICE
Several organizations had this to say about Citizen's for Tax Justice:
- "McIntyre's reports helped create the climate that allowed serious congressional consideration of very large increases in business taxes ..." (National Journal, May 3, 1986)
- "To hear Citizen's for Tax Justice tell it, some of America's wealthiest companies are deadbeats. Labor-backed CTJ says 42 of 250 large, profitable firms paid no income tax in 1985 because of deductions, credits and deferrals. (USN&WR, July 28, 1986)
- "Robert McIntyre, a Ralph Nader-trained lawyer working for a labor-backed lobbying group ..."(WSJ, August 18, 1986)
- "Coalition of left-leaning labor unions and liberal special interest groups." (New York Post, January 19, 1987)
- "Although it bills itself as nonpartisan, it is not difficult to determine where CTJ's sympathies lie." (Capital Research Center, February 1989).
CTJ is best summed up by its belief that the federal deficit "can be traced, in total, to huge tax breaks granted to the most wealthy Americans over the past decade and a half ..."
CTJ opposes the "inherent unfairness" and "regressivity" of sales taxes, preferring progressive income taxes and non-housing property taxes in addition to luxury taxes on such goods and services as club memberships, jewelry repair, and home improvements. CTJ has recently initiated state-level priority programs in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Maine and the District of Columbia.
CTJ (underlined) does not (end underlined) provide a public vote rating record on tax and spend votes for Senators or Representatives.

LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS
1707 L STREET, N.W.
SUITE 550
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036
The League of Conservation Voters describes itself as a 21 year-old, non-partisan political arm of the environmental movement. It bills itself as holding elected officials accountable for their conservation records and working to elect candidates to federal office who will protect the nation's environmental future. The League of Conservation Voters was formed with the support of the big ten environmental organizations. It has a PAC and endorses candidates.
While the LCV name implies, and its material states, that it supports the conservation community, in fact its constituency is the activist environmental movement. Principle supporters in the environmental community are the Sierra Club, US PIRG, Friends of the Earth, The Wilderness Society, Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Action, the National Audubon Society, and the National Wildlife Federation. Its board is also drawn primarily from this group.
The 1991 board included:
Bruce Babbitt
- President; former Democratic candidate for President of the United States.
Rafe Pomerance, Jr.
- Chair; former President of Friends of the Earth, independently wealthy supporter of Democratic candidates - prominent participant in the effort to dump Carter from the Democratic ticket in 1978 because Carter was too conservative for the party.
Richard Ayres;
one of the founders of the Natural Resources Defense Council and appointed by Carter to several national boards on air pollution.
Syd Butler;
formerly Carter appointee as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for the Forest Service, most recently with the Wilderness Society.
Ruth Caplan;
of Environmental Action which publishes "The Dirty Dozen" which always features Republicans up for re-election. (The only Democrats they have listed in recent years were retiring from Congress. The index they use to identify the 12 is openly recognized as manipulated for partisan advantage.)
(end of page 81)
(page 82)

LCV
Charles Clusen;
formerly assistant to conservation director and executive director of Sierra Club, chairman of Alaska Coalition of The Wilderness Society, and now at Natural Resources Defense Council.
Brock Evans;
unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the House of Representatives from the 1st Congressional District of Oregon, currently V.P. of the Audubon Society and former associate director of the Sierra Club.
David Gardner;
political director of the Sierra Club.
Paul Pritchard;
Former Carter appointee to the Bureau of Recreation/Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, member of Georgia Governor's Task Force for State Government Reorganization, now with the National Parks and Conservation Association.
Allen Smith;
was Assistant Attorney General Land and Natural Resources Division in the Carter Administration, chief financial officer of the Sierra Club, went to become president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife when Carter left office.
Jim Maddy
- Staff Executive Director; was one of Babbitt's top campaign staff.
National Environmental Scorecard
One of the most notable actions of the League of Conservation Voters is to publish the "National Environmental Scorecard." This benchmark is widely quoted in the press and in political campaigns. It is often viewed as the bible of who is supporting conservation in Congress, but analysis shows it is not.
1. The "Environmental Scorecard" of the League of Conservation Voters is the tool most frequently used to attack incumbent Republicans' environmental record. Analysis finds that it is a poor measure of environmental performance and a fairly good measure of party ideologues.
2. This scorecard is set so that Republicans score lower than Democrats.

LCV
3. A different set of votes are measured in the House. The result is that House scores are typically higher than Senate scores. The two sets of data are frequently put head to head even though they are not comparable data sets. In addition, the scores are often presented in campaigns in cumulative form so that the differences are amplified.
4. The LCV Scorecard is represented in campaigns as a measure of candidates sensitivity to the environment. But in fact it is a selective measure of a very small part of the work done by Senators. The scorecard typically only measures about 10 actions. (Prior to 1988 only floor votes were measured. In 1988 the LCV Scorecard broadened the measure to possibly include cosponsoring a bill or signing a letter.)
5. Items are selected for listing in the LCV Scorecard by the LCV Board. The staff nominates several actions to the Board for its selection. Staff look for issues that represent their particular interests. The result is that the measures are even further polarized.
6. The indicators measured have a preference for increased spending and regulation.
7. The indicators measured favor the Northeastern part of the country, and urbanized areas in particular.
Analysis of LCV Scorecard Votes
1. The LCV Scorecard "loads up" votes. For example, it counted the cloture vote on the 1991 Energy Bill (S. 1220) twice in the 15 measures considered in 1991. In addition, it counted absentees as having the correct position on this issue. Only 9 Republicans were recognized as having the pro environmental position. (The fact that many Senators who supported cloture had announced opposition to ANWR, the key issue to the environmentalists, was given no attention in the Scorecard. )
Similarly, the 1990 LCV Scorecard counted both the "motion to table" and motion to adopt the Nickles/Heflin amendment to the Clean Air Act. The Dole motion to reconsider the same issue was also indexed. This single issue therefore counted three times in the 12 issues indexed in 1990.

2. The LCV guides often do not measure the issues they claim to measure. For example, in 1989 they targeted the UNFPA vote as the critical population planning vote. In fact not a dollar more was spent (or spent more effectively) in family planning with this vote. Approving the UNFPA vote would have allowed U.S. tax dollars to support coercive abortion as a method of family planning. Only 10 Republicans were scored as having the correct environmental position.
3. The LCV Scorecard targets party discipline votes. For example, Presidential nominations are generally discipline issues. Votes have been targeted on nominations of Dawson, Clark, Burford etc. Discipline votes on vetoes, budgets, etc. are also targeted.

Todays life style is so hectic that we often do not take time out of our daily routine to be good to ourselves. There is always a meeting to go to, a phone call to make or a luncheon to attend. During your stay at Westfields, we want to offer you an opportunity to reduce your stress level through therapeutic massage.
You may experience tightness in your neck, shoulders and lower back after sitting in meetings all day. Therapeutic massage applied to these areas brings relief to stiff and aching muscles and promotes relaxation which has a calming effect on the central nervous system.
Massage is basically the physical manipulation of muscles, ligaments and connective tissue. It is a healing art that has been used from centuries to soothe, heal and relax. Massage reduces tension and stress, allowing increased circulation and nutritional flow to the muscles. Many people are unsure of what to expect while receiving a massage. Therefore, we have addressed some of the most common concerns.
- What does one wear when receiving a massage?
During the massage, your entire body is covered with a sheet and only the body part being worked on will be exposed. Some people choose to wear nothing, others wear underwear or a swimsuit
- Will a person of the same gender perform the massage?
It is a common practice for a person of the same gender to give the massage.
- How does one feel after the massage?
One will leave the massage studio feeling refreshed, calm and energized. Massage opens the communication between the body and mind allowing one to resume meetings thinking more clearly.
