"If there are any better, more efficient, less costly, quality-driven ways of doing any of this . . . we are open to that."

But to launch what may be one of the projects by which this Administration is defined, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid will once again ride off together. Back on the bus, Clinton and Gore plan tentatively to go this week to Ohio, California and Texas, carrying tales of red tape and floor wax to people yearning to breathe free of bureaucracy...
