Gore's latest "reinventing government" idea is to rewrite all US documents
written before 10-98 by 2002. New documents written after 1-1-99 must
be written in plain language. Gore said that rules with 72 words will
be reduced to six.

They have an interesting web site that contains examples and a document
on how to write in plain language, www.plainlanguage.gov

Anyone want to bet on how this project will end up?
