Bush spoke to about 150 civic and business leaders during an air port stopover before moving on to Baton Rouge, La., and Austin, Tex., in the hours before Presi dent Reagan was scheduled to address the nation on his econo mic plan. “It appears that it will be a close vote,” said Bush, “but we are absolutely convinced that it is the right medicine.” Bush said Reagan’s three-year, 25 percent tax cut would bring down “unconscionable rates” of unemployment, interest and infla tion. He said easing government regulations in the work place and market place will save consumers $15 billion to $18 billion initially, and nearly $6 billion each year af ter the plan is enacted. “Were determined that the working place is going to be safe,” said Bush. “We are determined that the environment is going to be clean, with sound environmen tal regulations.” Critics of the Republican budget plan have accused Reagan of seeking to repeal needed job safety regulations and encourag ing the oil industry to exploit wil derness areas. In his news conference, Bush expressed concern that some “wavering Democrats who voted with the president on budget cuts might not follow through with the rest of the package. He refused, however, to char acterize Reagan as worried. “I wouldn’t use the word wor ried, but I would use the phrase that he’s going to do all he can,” said Bush. He said there was “a feeling” in Washington “that things were moving toward” the Republican position. McKnight may run for governor in ’82 United Press International DALLAS — Sen. Peyton McKnight, D-Tyler, has announced he is considering run ning for governor in 1982 against Republican incumbent Bill Cle ments. The announcement was con tained in a newsletter McKnight mailed July 15 to some 8,000 key Texas Democrats in which he also 1 criticized Clements. He said, “I am considering run ning for governor as a Democrat. Your response will help me decide whether I should go ahead and run or merely pave the way for some other Democrat to defeat Cle ments.” In his letter, McKnight said if Clements was allowed another term, “state government will be radically changed from its tradi tional role of strong support for public education, our college and university systems, good high ways and care for the handicapped and mentally ill.” McKnight Sunday said the let ter was sent mainly to “Democra tic party leaders,” but it was possi ble some conservative Democrats who support Clements received the mailing. Former Attorney General John Hill, who was defeated by Cle ments in 1978, is also expected to be candidate for governor. through a three month training program that will include physical fitness, knowledge of Texas law and learning how to make a citi zen’s arrest.
