Congress of the United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515-2215.


February 20, 2004

Dr. Gregory Mankiw

Chairman. Council of Economic Advisers

Executive Office of the President

Washington, DC 20502

Dear Dr. Mankiw:.

I noticed in the recently released Economic Report a Economic Report of the President The Economic Report of the President is a document published by the President of the United States' Council of Economic Advisers (CEA). Released in February of each year, the report reviews what economic activity was of impact in the previous year, outlines the economic goals for  that there was some consternation in the defining of manufacturing. It could be inferred from your report that the administration is willing to recognize drink mixing, hamburger garnishing gar·nish  
tr.v. gar·nished, gar·nish·ing, gar·nish·es

a solution of sodium bicarbonate administered to racehorses by stomach tube 4 to 6 hours before racing to produce a metabolic acidosis. Promoted as a means of producing relief from tying-up and delaying the onset of fatigue by producing additional buffering to counteract
 mixing to be vital components of our manufacturing sector.

I am sure the 163,000 factory workers who have lost their jobs in michigan will find it heartening heart·en

2. a spatulate structure.

   Will federal student loans and Trade Assistance grants be applied
   to tuition costs at Burger College?

   Will the administration commit to allowing the Manufacturing
   Extension Partnership (MEP) to fund cutting edge burger research
   such as new nugget ingredients or keeping the hot and cold sides of
   burgers separate until consumption?

   Will special sauce now be counted as a durable good?

   Do you want fries with that?


Finally, at a speech he gave in Michigan this past September, Secretary Evans announced the creation of a new Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing. While I understand that it takes a while to find the right candidate to fill these positions, I am concerned that five months after the announcement no Assistant Secretary has yet been named. I do, however, know of a public official who would be perfect for the job. He has over thirty years of administrative and media experience, has a remarkable record of working with diverse constituencies, and is extraordinarily well qualified to understand this emerging manufacturing sector: the Hon Hon abbr (= honourable, honorary) → en títulos . Mayor McCheese.

With every good wish.

Sincerely,

John D. Dingell
