WASHINGTON, DC - On Thursday, June 27, 2002 at 11:00 a.m, the New Democratic Coalition will unveil its "e-genda."

Throughout the late 1990s, America experienced unprecedented growth and prosperity largely brought about by technology and the New Economy. While other issues have been pushed to the forefront lately - most importantly, the war against terrorism and homeland security - New Democrats understand that rather than being less important, it is more important than ever that the New Economy continues to thrive.

The 2002 New Democrat e-genda marks the fourth release of a comprehensive New Economy policy agenda, continuing New Democratic efforts on familiar fronts such as trade, privacy, education and research funding. The agenda also addresses new issues, such as public-private partnerships to improve homeland security and win the war against terrorism, a balanced approach to digital rights management, and restoring investor confidence in our financial markets.

The New Democrat Coalition is a group of 74 pro-growth, centrist Democrats in the House of Representatives founded in 1997. Since then, two-thirds of Democrats elected to the House have joined the NDC, making it the largest and one of the most influential caucuses in the House
