	Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, January 3, 2001
		SIEWERT: Very hard for me to go through those individually because, one, we're not in the business of discussing the substance; two, whether those go to the parameters or actually what would be subject to the negotiations is something I simply can't discuss from this podium.
		SIEWERT: I think they, as I said earlier, they believe that the President has been absolutely essential to helping them narrow some of their differences, and they appreciate the work he has done and want him to remain engaged in his -time left.
		SIEWERT: All I can tell you is what the Chairman told the President, and he said he accepted those parameters and, at the same time, he did express some reservations.

	Department of State Washington File: Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, January 2, 2001
		SIEWERT: Well, obviously the President and Chairman Arafat decided that this was a meeting that was worthwhile to have, and the Chairman agreed to come here in the hopes that we could reach some sort of common understanding about the parameters of the negotiation if that were to take place.
		SIEWERT: Well, I think everyone is aware of the calendar and that there is a pretty narrow window in which to continue the work that we've undertaken with both parties over the last eight years.
		SIEWERT: Well, I think that we left Camp David with a pretty solid understanding of what divided the parties and what's happened in the interim is that we have shared some ideas about how to narrow the differences, how to bridge some of the differences between the two parties.

	Department of State Washington File: Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, October 2, 2000
		SIEWERT: Well, I think we've made clear that a change in regime in Yugoslavia would lead us to review all the sanctions that we have in place, and that the opposition, if it were to prevail, would enjoy some of the benefits that come from such a review.
		SIEWERT: I don't know that he's talked to him in the last day or so, but he remains convinced that the Vice President stands the best chance of winning if he can keep the debate on the issues, remain focused on the issues.
		SIEWERT: It was the full request for this year, but we haven't gotten some of the money that we asked for last year, and we're trying to match that commitment now.

	Department of State Washington File: Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, December 18, 2000
		Q: Jake, one of the key campaign promises that George Bush ran on during his campaign was his pledge to restore honor and dignity to the Oval Office.
		SIEWERT: Yes, we've suggested and have recommended, I think, waiting to hear back finally, but I think that the idea is to have this meeting -- at least the Oval Office meeting available to the pool, so that we have some sort of opportunity -- you have some sort of opportunity to see them.
		SIEWERT: I believe that was governed by some particular rules in the House -- the House Ethics Committee -- that had some -- that he ran afoul of the rules that were governing book contracts by House members.

		SIEWERT: Those are governed by an assessment of what the situation is on the ground.
		SIEWERT: Well, I think the general impetus for that policy was to ensure that people who left the Clinton administration did not have undue influence with their former colleagues in the Clinton administration, or in a future Democratic administration.
		SIEWERT: We obviously think that -- the President said yesterday very clearly that there's a window of opportunity now for both parties to discuss what next steps we can take, and the President laid out the parameters of what he thinks would be a good discussion.

		SIEWERT: I think, yes, the President said what he believed, that when all the votes are counted, now by the press, that it will show that Al Gore may, in fact, have received more votes there.
		SIEWERT: He thinks it's very important that while he disagreed with the court's decision -- and he said so publicly a number of times, he told the pool that on the way back from Ireland -- that it was important to accept it.
		Q But, Jake, what he said was that the only way they won the election was by stopping the voting counting.

	Guest Comment on NRO
		Jake Siewert, Clinton's lame-duck press secretary, and a former aide at the National Economic Council, assiduously spun the myth of the Clinton economic record on Monday at a White House press briefing.
		Siewert scoffed at Dick Cheney's observation on Meet the Press that America may be "on the heels of a recession." "We understand that Mr.
		Siewert's petulant spinning is another example of the fiction that bumbling Republicans screwed up the economy, and Bill Clinton's brilliance and foresight turned it around.

		SIEWERT: I think actually the Attorney General said that she is going to try to do everything she can to reunite the father with the son as soon as possible, particularly if the father comes to the United States, as he's indicated, before that.
		SIEWERT: We have made a judgment that the father speaks for the son and the INS is working hard to reunite them.
		SIEWERT: I think the INS has made a judgment that the father speaks for the son and that the father has said he wants to come to America to be reunited with the son, and that's something that the INS is discussing now with the relatives.

		SIEWERT: Yes, I know, but eight years ago it wasn't done, for reasons that are beyond me. Q I took LBJ home.

	Scoop: President Clinton to Bring Up Whaling Sanctions
		Q: Jake, in the President's speech this morning to the business leaders, he suggested that the reason for the one-day delay to his trip was, in fact, the election controversy in Florida.
		SIEWERT: He has not talked to the Vice President as far as I know since the last call that we outlined for you, I think which was late last week.
		SIEWERT: We had said for a long time now that we thought Congress had ample time and opportunity to finish its work before the election and that there was no reason why we needed a lame duck session.

	Planet Ark - UPDATE - Clinton not making Arctic refuge national monument (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		White House spokesman Jake Siewert told reporters Clinton opposes drilling in the refuge, but said the area is protected by federal law that prevents drilling unless approved by Congress.
		Siewert said an executive order from Clinton making the refuge a monument could be reversed by President-elect George W. Bush when he takes office on Jan. 20.
		Siewert said the Clinton administration believes it is highly unlikely the new Republican-controlled Congress would agree to drilling in the refuge, even if Bush issues an executive order allowing it, because many Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the closely divided Congress oppose the idea.

		SIEWERT: I think it was a unanimous decision at this point to not make that decision, but to explore further with the North Koreans what exactly is on the table, in terms of their offer to cut back on their missiles program.
		SIEWERT: We'll make an overall judgment based on whether we think a trip would advance our interests - our interest in nonproliferation, our interest in lessening tension on the Peninsula, our interest in reducing the threat that that missile program poses to our allies in the region and to the United States.
