[Biofuel] Conversation with a Conservative: Clyde Prestowitz http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/BIOFUEL/39945/ In the first of four conversations between Mother Jones and prominent conservatives who've become Bush critics, Reagan administration veteran Clyde Prestowitz explains that four years of Republican rule have put the country on the wrong track. October 6, 2004 I'm Clyde Prestowitz. I was a counselor to the Secretary of Commerce in the first Reagan administration.

I'm a conservative, a registered Republican, and an economist.
