[Note: During the Clinton Administration, Vice President Gore created the "Hammer Awards." The Hammer Award was presented to teams of federal employees who made significant contributions in support of reinventing government principles.
The Award was the Vice President's answer to yesterday's government and its $400 hammer. Fittingly, the award consisted of a $6.00 hammer, a ribbon, and a note from Vice President Gore, all in an aluminum frame. Hammer Awards were presented to teams comprised of federal employees, state and local employees, and citizens who are working to build a better government.]
