Dukakis and his running mate, Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, campaigned in Texas the day after Bentsen’s 90-minute debate with Indiana Senator Dan Quayle. Dukakis praised Bentsen’s perfor mance in the debate, saying, “Last night, the eyes of Texas and the whole nation were on you, and they liked what they saw.” Dukakis said choosing a vice presi dential running mate is the first national security decision a president makes. ‘‘There was only one man on that stage last night to fit that bill, and his name was Lloyd Bentsen,” Dukakis said. Turning back to economic matters, Dukakis said the reason many workers had been laid off from the plant and other industries is because of unbalanced trade with foreign nations. “Foreign companies are buying up real estate, buying up companies, buying up plants in the country. Pretty soon, we’re going to be tenants in our own country,” Dukakis said. “We’re going to give you a national energy policy that makes sense for America and helps to bring jobs back to this plant in the east part of Texas,” Du kakis said. After being presented with a plaque bearing a star representing Lone Star Steel, Bentsen took the podium, “After listening to Dan Quayle for 90 minutes last night, I can understand why he kept talking about job training,” Bentsen said. “We’re going to stand up for the working people of this country,” Bent sen said. the plant at the end of July after working 10 years for Lone Star. “I’m here to see what the man’s got to say,” Davidson said. “Republicans for eight years have been hurting Texas in dustry. Because of them we can’t com pete with cheaper imported steel.” The company employed 4,500 hourly workers in 1981, and the president of the local steelworkers union said that num ber has been whittled down to 700 through layoffs. here because of the layoffs,” said Bol Hampton, president of United Sled- workers of American Local 4134, “If l wasn’t union president wouldn’t have a job,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot of my friends leave The plant makes flat rolled steel aid oil field pipe products and has gm down w ith the oil industry. Dukakis and Bentsen left the rail) sit and drove to the Gregg County Airpottlo meet with East Texas newspaperedilon and reporters for about 30 minutes Hundreds of sign-waving Democrats — some dressed in suits and ties, others in overalls and seed-company hats — yelled for the two Democrats and chan ted, “Where was George?” One man held a sign saying: “Like God Made Agent Orange, Bush Is A Texan.” The rally was in a park on the grounds of the Lone Star Steel plant in a clearing among the tall pines trees of northeast Texas. The rally included barbecue lines, a rap song from local elementary school children and the Ore City High School band. Doug Davidson, 33, was laid off from Dukakis praises Bentsen, labels Quayle insecure \w Bush unveils plans to help oil industry MIDLAND (AP) — Republican George Bush, returning Thursday to the city where he got started in the oil busi ness 37 years ago, unveiled an energy policy designed to help domestic oil and gas producers. “The American oil industry is too im portant to our national security to have its economic underpinnings totally de pendent on the political climate in the Middle East,” the vice president told about 1,000 people — most of them in the oil business — at the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum. Bush, who moved to Midland in 1951 and started the independent Zapata Off shore Co., said he favors tax incentives to stimulate oil production, exploration and research and development. Bush seemed well at ease with his au dience, many of whom he counted as old friends. He called for the deregulation of natural gas. “That’s what would be best for both the industry and the American people,” he said. He also said he would encourage the use of alternative fuels such as methanol. Bush, who was standing before an ar- an audience of law-enforcementofficials in Fort Worth that he advocates the re sumption of a federal death penalty in some cases. “Some crimes are so brutal, so hei nous, that those who commit them should pay the ultimate sanction,” Bush said at an appearance sponsored by the Dallas-Fort Worth Crime Commission. The vice president proposed doubling the national budget for prison construc tion and developing a Cabinet-level pro gram to combat street gangs. He attacked Democrat Michael Dukakis as being a soft-on-crime governor who likes to fur lough dangerous prisoners. Bush said he would seek a four-year, $1 billion program to incarcerate the hardened felons and rising number of drug offenders, and advocated convert ing obsolete military bases into prisons. He said he would use assets seized from drug traffickers to help finance new prison construction. After his Midland visit. Bush headed for Little Rock, Ark. LONE STAR (AP) — Michael Duka kis on Thursday trumpeted his running mate’s performance in the vice presi dential debate and characterized George Bush as a “weak candidate” and Dan Quayle as “extremely insecure” and “programmed beyond belief.” The harsh attack on the Republican ticket by the Democratic presidential nominee came during a flight from Bos ton to Texas and at a rally in East Texas with his sidekick, Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen. “My friends, strong presidents look for strong vice presidents.” Dukakis told about 2,500 people gathered in this de pressed steel town. “Weak candidates look for something else.” Dukakis, with a sparkling lake and the struggling Lone Star Steel Co. plant as a backdrop, was in a jubilant mood as he praised Bentsen and asked voters to judge the presidential standard bearers on the strength of their running mates. “When a nominee selects his running mate, he’s choosing the first member of his Cabinet, the first member of the Na tional Security Council and the first member of his diplomatic team,” Duka kis said. “You’ve got to choose somebody who’s ready to step into that Oval Office at a moment’s notice and who know’s what he’s going to do when he gets there,” Dukakis said in a swipe at Quayle’s responses when asked repeat edly what he would do if suddenly el evated to the presidency. “There was only one man on that stage last night who fit that bill and his name is Lloyd Bentsen,” Dukakis said. He referred to picking a running mate as a nominee’s “first presidential decision" and asked: “Judge us by the way wc madeiU! who wc chose. Ask yourself whicliok of us fulfilled our presidenlial oblia tion.” Dukakis, whose campaign wassiel- ing to capitalize on Bentsen’s peifo mance by airing two ads attack; Quayle’s qualifications for the vicejn sidcncy, said the Quayle selection "isii the first time that George Bush te failed,” and then cited what he calls Bush failures in the Iran-Contra scani. the war on drugs, trade relations will pan, and reforms in the nation’sbanlE industry' and regulatory practices. “It was very disturbing," Dubit said while en route to Texas. ''Ithod he was programmed beyond belief extremely insecure, this fellow. It didn't have a sense of strength orcmb or anything." nd umi Dukakis briefly touched on his eco nomic promises and vowed to bn work back to Lone Star, which the can paign says has lost 5,000 steel jobs in lb Reagan years. But he spent most of his time fr cussing the debate, chiding Quayle fa accepting massive foreign investraenli U.S. real estate and business. “As Senator Bentsen said so wist! and well, wc cannot let others take on our economic destiny," Dukakis said Dukakis aides said neither of the is* ads featured excerpts from the debaA that one portrayed Bentsen as the da winner of the event and raised quesliffi about Quayle’s qualifications. The« ond ad raises the issue of whetherQuijlt is qualified to be "a heartbeat ara from the presidency. Both were to dthi Thursday night, part of the campaf largest advertising foray to date. ray of motionless pumpjacks at a mu seum display, told the crowd he under stood the consequences of falling oil prices. On Wednesday, the November delivery price of the benchmark West Texas intermediate crude fell to a three- year low of $12.60 a barrel. In early tra ding Thursday, the price rebounded 22 cents a barrel. To make oil exploration and produc tion more profitable in the light of such low prices, Bush said he favored tax in centives for low-output wells and tax credits designed to encourage drilling of new’wells and and more production from existing wells. “It sounded encouraging,” indepen dent oilman Kevin Butler of Midland said “It’ll be hard to get through Con gress, but it gives us a little hope. ’ ’ Before the speech, Butler said he hoped Bush would recommend tax in centives to give producers a break. Another independent oilman, John Dorr of Pecos, agreed with Butler and said, “It’s been three years since I’ve sunk a bit into the ground.” Earlier Thursday, Bush delivered a tough-on-crime speech in which he told Bentsen continues Quayle assault at post-debate rally in East Texas LONE STAR (AP) — An exultant Lloyd Bentsen flew home to Texas Thursday, taking new jibes at Dan Quayle’s need for job training while accepting fellow Democrats’ acco lades for his performance against Quayle in the vice presi dential debate. “Last night, the eyes of Texas and the whole nation were on you, and they liked what they saw,” Democratic presi dential nominee Michael Dukakis told Bentsen before a cheering crowd in this rural East Texas community. Bentsen and Dukakis, who usually campaign separately, united for the joint post-debate rally. Bentsen normally intro duces Dukakis when they do appear together, but Bentsen fol lowed Dukakis to the microphones this time. “After listening to Dan Quayle last night, 1 can understand why he kept talking about job training,” Bentsen said, getting a roar from the 2,500 people in a lakeside park. Across the lake was a steel factory that he said has lost thousands of jobs to foreign competition. Bentsen said the Re publicans don’t want to talk about that. “My friends, if you don’t speak of these concerns, you're endangering America,” he said. The Texas senator appeared elated by poll figures sufjes ing most television viewers thought he won the debate. “Gee, those polls were great, weren't they?” he toldf porters traveling with his campaign. "Well, 1 knew Is®: some points, and 1 thought I was winning, but it's dil be objective about yourself.’’ • The Dukakis campaign planned to take advantage of»iK they felt was a clear Bentsen debate victory byairinjs? television spots questioning Quayle’s qualifications fori presidency, Day ton Duncan, Dukakis’ press secretary sai The flash point of Wednesday night’s debatgecame Bentsen told Quayle he was “no Jack Kennedy.” Benlseiii knowledged that the topic had been raised during his pre^ tions, but denied his answer was a “canned” response “What happened there was Quayle kept comparing him/ with (John F.) Kennedy, just overreaching himself,; fed up with it,’’ he said. “I deeply resented him tryinglof 1 Kennedy’s mantle over himself when he didn’t haveattf* that compared with Kennedy.” Bush outlines crime fighting program MIDLAND (AP) — George Bush on Thursday pro posed a “common sense” attack against crime with emphasis on breaking up street gangs as his campaign manager played down the importance of the vice presi dential debate. In a speech that made no mention of running mate Dan Quayle, the Republican presidential candidate said: “Gangs that started in one city are now expand ing into new cities, opening criminal ‘branch offices,’ fostering contacts with terrorists in Libya and with drug lords in the Caribbean and South America. It’s time to gang up on the gangs. ” While Bush and his strategists struck an upbeat note about the debate, the nrst polling indicated tnai Bent sen was the clear winner. Arguing that the debate will have very little impact on the outcome of the presidential race, Bush cam paign manager Lee Atwater said “an event like that has very little to do with the election. ’ ’ “This race is going to quickly get back to the two candidates for president,” Atwater said. vised weekend passes to first-degree murderers, sentenced to life without parole. Fifty-ninecrimW convicted of violent crimes never came back from^ governor’s generous vacation program.” Bush’s “common sense” anti-crime program® tained a variety of proposals, old and new, indiA! use of the death penalty, doubling the federal pris* budget to build new facilities with an additional5^ million each year, and converting unneeded mil bases into state and federal prisons. Bush spoke before the Fort Worth Crime Commis sion, an organization of law enforcement officials and citizens involved in anti-crime efforts. Afterward, he flew to Midland to make an energy address in the com munity where he broke into the oil business in the 1950s, and then planned an early-evening appearance in Little Rock, Ark.. Arriving in Midland from Fort Worth, Bush told an airport rally, “I think Dan Quayle did an outstanding job” in Wednesday night’s debate with Democrat Lloyd Bentsen. Bush, while warming up for a morning jog at Texas Christian University, brushed aside a question about Bentsen’s tart response when Quayle said he is as ex perienced as John F. Kennedy was when he sought the presidency. “I’m not going to tell you what I think about that be cause I’m out here to have some fun,” he said. He told the Fort Worth audience, “Perhaps on no other issue, none at all, is the dividing line so clear, on no other issue is the gulf so great between my oppo nent’s philosophy and mine as on the issue of crime.” In particular, he assailed the prison furlough pro gram in Massachusetts under Democratic rival Michael Dukakis, saying: “1,905 times he gave free, unsuper- Money seized from drug dealers and rad# should be used to help pay for more prison space, said.
