Clinton and Gore accepted the nomination at the Democratic National Convention on July 17, 1992. Known as the Baby Boomer Ticket and the Fortysomething Team, The New York Times noted that if elected, Clinton and Gore, at ages 45 and 44 respectively, would be the 'youngest team to make it to the White House in the country's history.' Theirs was the first ticket since 1972 to try to capture the youth vote. Gore called the ticket 'a new generation of leadership'. The ticket increased in popularity after the candidates traveled with their wives, Hillary and Tipper, on a 'six-day, 1,000-mile bus ride, from New York to St. Louis.' Gore also successfully debated the other vice presidential candidates, Dan Quayle, and James Stockdale. The Clinton-Gore ticket beat the Bush-Quayle ticket, 43%-38%. Clinton and Gore were inaugurated on January 20, 1993 and were re-elected to a second term in the 1996 election. At the beginning of the first term, Clinton and Gore developed a 'two-page agreement outlining their relationship.' Clinton committed himself to regular lunch meetings, recognized Gore as a principal adviser on nominations, and appointed some of Gore's chief advisers to key White House staff positions Clinton involved Gore in decision-making to an unprecedented degree for a Vice President. Through their weekly lunches and daily conversations, Gore became the president's 'indisputable chief adviser.'Gore had a particular interest in reducing 'waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government and advocated trimming the size of the bureaucracy and the number of regulations.' During the Clinton Administration, the U. S. economy expanded, according to David Greenberg (professor of history and media studies at Rutgers University) who said that 'by the end of the Clinton presidency, the numbers were uniformly impressive. Besides the record-high surpluses and the record-low poverty rates, the economy could boast the longest economic expansion in history; the lowest unemployment since the early 1970s; and the lowest poverty rates for single mothers, black Americans, and the aged.'According to Leslie Budd, author of E-economy: Rhetoric or Business Reality, this economic success was due, in part, to Gore's continued role as an Atari Democrat, promoting the development of information technology, which led to the dot-com boom (c. 1995-2001). Clinton and Gore entered office planning to finance research that would 'flood the economy with innovative goods and services, lifting the general level of prosperity and strengthening American industry.' Their overall aim was to fund the development of, 'robotics, smart roads, biotechnology, machine tools, magnetic-levitation trains, fiber-optic communications and national computer networks. Also earmarked a raft of basic technologies like digital imaging and data storage.' Critics claimed that the initiatives would 'backfire, bloating Congressional pork and creating whole new categories of Federal waste.'During the election and his term as Vice President, Gore popularized the term Information Superhighway, which became synonymous with the Internet, and he was involved in the creation of the National Information Infrastructure. Gore first discussed his plans to emphasize information technology at UCLA on January 11, 1994 in a speech at The Superhighway Summit. He was involved in a number of projects including NetDay'96 and 24 Hours in Cyberspace. The Clinton--Gore administration also launched the first official White House website in 1994 and subsequent versions through 2000. The Clipper Chip, which 'Clinton inherited from a multi-year National Security Agency effort,' was a method of hardware encryption with a government backdoor. It met with strong opposition from civil liberty groups and was abandoned by 1996. Gore was also involved in a number of initiatives related to the environment. He launched the GLOBE program on Earth Day '94, an education and science activity that, according to Forbes magazine, 'made extensive use of the Internet to increase student awareness of their environment'. During the late 1990s, Gore strongly pushed for the passage of the Kyoto Protocol, which called for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Gore was opposed by the Senate, which passed unanimously (95--0) the Byrd--Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98). In 1998, Gore began promoting a NASA satellite that would provide a constant view of the earth, marking the first time such an image would have been made since The Blue Marble photo from the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. During this time, he also became associated with Digital Earth. In 1996 Gore became involved in a finance controversy over his attendance at an eve
