The president's first policy initiative was designed to meet the demands of homosexuals, who, claiming a group status as victims of discrimination, had become an important Democratic constituency.  \nImmediately after his  \ninauguration, President Clinton issued an executive order rescinding the longestablished military policy of dismissing known gays from the service. The order quickly drew furious criticism from the military, most Republicans, and large segments of American society. Clinton quickly modified it with a \"don't ask, don't tell\" order that effectively restored the old policy but discouraged active investigation of one's sexual practices.  \n1. Describe the “don’t ask, don’t tell”policy in your own words.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nThe effort to achieve a national health plan proved to be a far larger setback. The administration set up a large task force, chaired by Hillary Clinton. Composed of prominent policy intellectuals and political activists, it labored in secrecy for months to develop a  \nplan that would provide medical coverage for every American.  \n2. Who chaired the task force to create a national health plan?  \na. Bill Clinton  \nb. Chelsea Clinton  \nc. George Clinton  \nd. Hillary Clinton  \nThe working assumption behind the plan was that a government-managed\"single-payer\" plan could deliver health services to the entire nation more efficiently than the current decentralized system with its thousands of insurers and disconnected providers. As finally delivered to Congress in September 1993, however, the plan mirrored the complexity of its subject. Most Republicans and some Democrats criticized it as a hopelessly elaborate federal takeover of American medicine. After a year of discussion, it died without a vote in Congress.  \n3. What criticisms were made against  \nthe Clintons’proposed national healthcare plan?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\n[Free Educational Materials Online: www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](Free Educational Materials Online: www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nName:   Date:   Class:    \n____________________________________  \n____________________________________  \n____________________________________  \nClinton was more successful on another matter with great repercussions for the domestic economy. The previous president, George H.W. Bush, had negotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to establish fully open trade between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Key Democratic constituencies opposed the agreement. Labor unions believed it would encourage the export of jobs and undermine American labor standards. Environmentalists asserted that it would lead American industries to relocate to countries with weak pollution controls. These were the first indications of a growing movement on the left wing of American politics against the vision of an integrated world economic system.  \n4. What president negotiated NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)?  \na. Bill Clinton  \nb. George H.W. Bush  \nc. George W. Bush  \nd. Ronald Reagan  \nPresident Clinton nonetheless accepted the argument that open trade was ultimately beneficial to all parties because it would lead to a greater flow of more efficiently produced goods and services. His administration not only submitted NAFTA to the Senate, it also backed the establishment of a greatly liberalized international trading system to be administered by the World Trade Organization (WTO) . After a vigorous  \ndebate, Congress approved NAFTA in 1993. It would approve membership in the WTO a year later.  \n5.
