OHIO STATE TO HOST PRESIDENT'S MIDWEST ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

COLUMBUS -- The Ohio State University has accepted an 
invitation from the White House to be the site of President 
Clinton's Midwest Regional Economic Conference on Oct. 20.  The 
probable site will be the Ohio Union, 1739 N. High St.

"We are delighted to host this important event," said Ohio 
State President E. Gordon Gee.  "It is an honor, as well as an 
opportunity to bring this forum to Ohio State.  President Clinton 
is holding these conferences at universities because such a 
setting emphasizes the crucial role that universities play in the 
economy of our nation.  I am happy to join Governor Voinovich and 
Mayor Lashutka in welcoming the conference participants to Ohio 
State, the city of Columbus, and the state of Ohio."

President Clinton and Vice President Gore will take part in 
the conference, which will explore economic issues specific to 
the Midwest (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, 
Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin).

The conference at Ohio State is the third regional economic 
conference held this year.  Emory University hosted the Southern 
Region, and Portland State University was the site of the Pacific 
Rim conference.
