NAM leaders lobby President Bush

There are two things you never turn down—a free lottery ticket and a face-to-face meeting with the President.
During the recent National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) meeting in Washington, D.C., a group of NAM representatives met with President George W. Bush to discuss the current economy’s effect on manufacturing and the Economic Stability Act.
During the discussion, the president was “well-informed, articulate and made detailed inquiries regarding the impact that both the national economy and world markets were having on our businesses. He had his facts in hand,” says Peter Perez, Carter Products Co. president and NAM director.
While there are no easy answers, Bush requested NAM members also work with their representatives in Congress. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the special attention!
