Honorable Al Gore (Vice President 1993-2001)
CLIENT
Al Gore's career in public service began
when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976
where he served eight years representing the then 4th District of
Tennessee. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984 and was re-elected
in 1990, becoming the first candidate in modern history - Republican
or Democratic - to win all 95 of Tennessee's counties. Al Gore was
inaugurated as the 45th Vice President of the United States on January
20, 1993. He was re-elected in 1996 and as the Democratic nominee
for President in 2000 received more votes than any Democrat ever,
indeed more votes than anyone in American history with the sole
exception of Ronald Reagan in 1984.
For eight years, Al Gore was a central member of President Clinton's
economic team - working closely with Bob Rubin and others to help
design the economic program that set the stage for the strongest
U.S. economy in history, casting the tie-breaking Senate vote to
enact the plan in 1993, then helping to pass the first balanced
budget in 30 years. He helped usher in the longest peacetime economic
expansion in American history - with over 18 million new jobs, wages
that went up at twice the rate of inflation, the lowest African-American
and Hispanic poverty on record, the highest level of private home
ownership ever, more investment in our cities, and the lowest unemployment
in 29 years.
Al Gore served as President of the Senate, a Cabinet member, a member
of the National Security Council, and as the leader of a wide range
of Administration initiatives, including in the areas of environmental
policy, technology, science, communications, community empowerment,
and cutting the cost of government. He has worked to dramatically
expand lifelong learning for the 21st Century, and increase investments
in quality after-school care and has advocated a national plan for
universal pre-school. He has been a champion of efforts to create
new jobs, investment and growth in cities across America and to
build more livable communities.
Together with his wife, Tipper Gore, Al Gore
has been one of the strongest voices for America's families, and
their annual Family Reunion policy conference in Nashville has promoted
new initiatives strengthening fatherhood, increasing flexibility
for mothers and fathers in the workplace, and giving parents more
control over what kind of information comes into their homes.
To help create a federal government that works better and costs
less, Vice President Gore started and led the National Partnership
for Reinventing Government. The initiative has been critical to
balancing the federal budget -- saving taxpayers more than $137
billion, eliminating 16,000 pages of regulations and 640,000 pages
of internal rules, and reduced the size of the federal government
to its smallest level since President John F. Kennedy's Administration.
He is the author of Common Sense Government and four other books
on management and reinvention. Since his days in the House and Senate,
Al Gore's environmental record has been unparalleled.
His pioneering efforts to stop global warming, protect the earth's
ozone layer and to clean up toxic-waste dumps were outlined in his
best-selling book Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit
(1992), now published in more than 25 languages. He led the Clinton
Administration's efforts to protect the environment in a way that
also creates new jobs.
As a member of the U.S. Congress 25 years ago, he popularized the
term "Information Superhighway," and was instrumental in fighting
for federal funds to assist in building what later became the Internet.
Also in the House, he held early hearings on biotechnology, cloning
and has been a national leader on cutting-edge issues such as genetic
discrimination and on-line privacy and security. In the Senate,
Al Gore was a leading expert on nuclear arms control and space policy,
and a strong voice for national defense. He was a member of the
Armed Services Committee and Chairman of the Space, Science and
Technology Subcommittee.
Al Gore has remained an active leader in technology and telecommunications
- launching a public/private effort to wire every classroom and
library in America to the Information Superhighway and calling for
the creation of a new Global Information Infrastructure, to expand
access to basic phone service and communications, improve the delivery
of education and health care, and create new economic opportunity.
Al Gore was born on March 31, 1948, the son of former U.S. Senator
Albert Gore, Sr. and Pauline Gore. Raised in Carthage, Tennessee,
and Washington, D.C., he received a degree in government with honors
from Harvard University in 1969. After graduation, he volunteered
for enlistment in the U.S. Army and served in the Vietnam War. Upon
returning from Vietnam, Al Gore became an investigative reporter
with the Tennessean in Nashville, where he also attended Vanderbilt
University's Divinity School and then Law School.
In 1970, Al Gore married the former Mary Elizabeth "Tipper" Aitcheson
and together they have four children: Karenna (born August 6, 1973),
Kristin (born June 5, 1977), Sarah (born January 7, 1979), and Albert
III (born October 19, 1982). On July 4, 1999, Karenna and her husband,
Dr. Drew Schiff, gave birth to their first child, Wyatt Gore Schiff.
On August 23, 2001, Wyatt's sister Anna Hunger Schiff was born,
thus doubling the pleasures of grandparenthood for Al and Tipper.

Former Vice President and bestselling author
Al Gore collaborates with his wife, well-known family advocate tipper
Gore, on a groundbreaking book about the changing face of the American
family.
Al and Tipper Gore have long considered family their bedrock. They
have also spent many years studying the American family, and now,
in this provocative and personal book , they explore the myriad
ways in which the family is being redefined.
Over the past two generations, new economic pressures, profound
cultural changes, and rapid demographic shifts have fundamentally
altered the way we live our lives. The work week is longer, balancing
work and family is harder than ever, and finding high-quality child
and elder care is getting increasingly difficult. But if America
families can no longer rely on many of the traditional land. Marks
by which they formerly steered their course, they are finding creative
new ways to define, enrich, and honor their commitment to the most
essential of all relationships.
As they explore the changing nature of the contemporary family,
the Gores introduce us to a dozen families they have come to know
over the years. Among others, we meet a blended family with six
children born to four sets of parents, an interracial family navigating
an increasingly acceting world; a gay couple raising two adopted
boys; and a divorced couple who organize their lives around caring
for their disabled son. The Gores also share stories drawn from
their own experiences, snd in chapters on such issues as communication,
money, play, and resilience, they provide invaluable insight into
the ways families are responding-often with astonishing courage
and grace-to the extraordinary challenges they face every day .
