Foreign Policy In Focus - Presidential Transitions 2000

n this strange interim period when we’re governed by a lame duck president and have no president-elect, we believe it’s important to continue the tradition of our Campaign 2000 website. The new Presidential Transitions 2000 page will carry foreign policy statements by Bush and Gore, analysis of where each stands on key foreign policy issues, and biographical sketches of their leading foreign policy advisers, as well as of vice presidential contenders Cheney and Lieberman. We’ll also continue with our trenchant commentary and occasional satire. We invite readers to respond with comments and suggestions. Please send correspondence to kathy@ips-dc.org.
