As Bill Clinton makes the transition from candidate to president, he confronts the job of transforming campaign rhetoric to the reality of political compromise and budgetary constraint. Discussed in this article are Mr. Clinton's campaign promises related to funding for national laboratories, defense, and secondary education. Also discussed are Vice President Gore's views toward environmental cleanup and protection. Speculation is made of President Clinton's budget plans and Cabinet-level appointments.
