Campaign director
says Reagan to run
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan will announce for re-
election following his State of
the Union address in January
and is already playing a leading
role in planning his campaign,
according to the director of his
campaign.
Ed Rollins, campaign direc
tor of Reagan-Bush ’84, said in
an interview that Reagan will
most likely make his plans
known in “a televised address,
probably from the Oval Office,
but I have not worked out the
details.”
“Do you see any possible way
that he is not running?” Rollins
was asked.
“No, I don’t see any possible
way that he is not running,” Rol
lins said. “Senator Laxalt talked
to the president regarding this
question, and the president told
the senator that he intended on
announcing his decision after
the State of the Union, or by the
end of the next month,
January.”
Sen. Paul Laxalt of Nevada is
general chairman of the Repub
lican Party, Reagan’s closest
friend in the Senate and was
chairman of his 1976 and 1980
campaigns.
Rollins said that in conversa
tions he has had with Real
“for months now” there
never been any indication he is
not going to run.”

“I think in the president’s
mind he wants to reserve the
time when he begins to formally
be a candidate,” Rollins said.

“I think his reluctance to get
out front clearly has been based
on two factors: one, he doesn’t
have any primary opposition
and he can pick his team;
secondly, there are some very
hard decisions that he has to
make with the budget and the
State of the Union, that he needs
to make prior to when he for
mally becomes a candidate.”

Reagan will campaign during
the primary season as if he had
opposition, Rollins said.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND A
HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Reagan himself will not cam
paign as extensively as he has in
the past and will rely on Vice
President George Bush and
other surrogates, Rollins said.

Nepal’s king visits Dallas
“There is no question we in
tend on running a full campaign
in the primaries,” he said. “I
think there are eight Democratic
candidates who are out there, all
spending substantial sums of
money, running against Ronald
Reagan in addition to running
against themselves.”

DALLAS — Officials rolled
out the red carpet Sunday for
the King and Queen of Nepal,
honoring them at a City Hall
ceremony and whisking them
off to Texas Stadium to watch
“America’s team’’ play the
Washington Redskins.
The royal couple, visiting
Texas as part of their eight-city
U.S. tour, were welcomed with a
red carpet ceremony and lun
cheon at City Hall, at which King
Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev
and his wife Queen Aishwarya
were given a key to the city and

The king was dressed in a

Following a luncheon, the
King and Queen rode by limo-

E) Salvador’s largest rebel
group, in a further sign of an
apparent split within the leftist
ranks, accused a top-ranking
guerrilla leader Sunday of
ordering the murder of his chief
lieutenant earlier this year.
Vice President George Bush
arrived in El Salvador Sunday
where he stressed the import
ance of confronting Marxist
aggression in the region, saying
“communist enslavement only
brings more poverty.”
Bush, leading the highest-
level U.S. delegation ever to visit
war-torn El Salvador, said “both
our societies are determined to
resist communist aggression.
This is not an easy task.
“I think that the lesson of his
tory is clear. The communists
promise to trade material well
being for freedom; but we have
seen time and time again that
communist enslavement only
brings more poverty,” the vice
president said.
Bush, however, did not men
tion a recent campaign by U.S.
officials to persuade El Salvador
to crack down on rightist death
squads.
The death squads, which are
reportedly controlled by active
and retired army officers, have
l>een responsible for more than
