Sen. Clinton Slams Bush on Americorps

[Nambe]

WASHINGTON (AP)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says President Bush is breaking a "president-to-president" promise made to her husband to protect one of the Clintons' favorite programs, AmeriCorps.

"I personally know that there is a tradition among presidents when they succeed one another," Clinton told AmeriCorps supporters Wednesday. "When my husband spoke with the present President Bush as they were changing the leadership of our country, the only thing my husband asked President Bush was to take care of AmeriCorps and national service."

"So far, that promise made and even mentioned in the State of the Union has not been fulfilled," said Clinton, D-N.Y. ---

Clinton noted Bush has publicly vowed to support AmeriCorps, but faulted him for not forcing the issue within his own party. ---
