BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WOMEN PAC 
                   ENDORSE CLINTON/GORE TICKET
July 28, 1992

     The Business and Professional Women PAC voted unimously to
support the Clinton Gore ticket at their Convention in
Minneapolis today, making the presidential endorsement the PAC's
first-ever in its 75 year history.   Hillary Clinton accepted the
endorsement on behalf of her husband after her address to 7,000
BPW members.  

     "BPW/USA is the voice of working women and we vote," said
BWP PAC chair Mariwyn Heath.  "Ours is a moderate voice in
politics.  We are secure in who we are and we work hard to make
steady legislative progress, bill by bill.  This political action
committee looked at the voting records of the candidates, their
vetoes and the power that they use for and against women, and
took this bold step to endorse the presidential ticket of Bill
Clinton and Al Gore."

     Four Republican and three Democratic members sit on the BPW
PAC.  The BPW, which represents women from every Congressional
district in the country, is an officially bi-partisan but
traditionally Republican oriented organization.  Currently more
than half of it's 100,000 members are Republican. 

     "The endorsement by the Business and Professional Woman
really demonstrates broad-based support for the Clinton/Gore
ticket," Hillary Clinton said. "The women here today understand
that we must go beyond politics as usual in order to change this
country.  The BPW endorsed the Clinton/Gore ticket because the
agenda they propose is good for all Americans, including women."  


     The Business and Professional Women works to promote full
participation, equity and economic self-sufficiency for working
women around the country.  The organization monitors federal
legislation that affects working women including: pay equity,
violence and abuse against women, reproductive freedom and
affordable health care.
