Bush, Clinton make promises on campaign trail
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Conn. - Bill Clin
ton pledged Tuesday to spend $2
billion a year to help manufactur
ers put more Americans to work,
spicing his economic pitch with a
reminder that 1.3 million factory
jobs were lost on President Bush's
watch.
President Bush asked Congress
for $7.6 billion in emergency aid
for cleanup and rebuilding in the
wake of Hurricane Andrew. Later,
in a speech to Jewish leaders, he
suggested that Saddam Hussein's
ouster from Kuwait might not
have happened had Clinton been
president.
"Ask yourself where we would
be if we had someone in the Oval
Office who would have waffled,
who would have wavered and
wanted to have it both ways," said
Bush.
Clinton was in Connecticut de
tailing plans to help manufactur
ers deal with fast-evolving tech
nology and ever-changing world
markets.
"Unlike our competition, this
nation has no national strategy, no
comprehensive partnership be
tween business and workers and
education and government," Clin
ton said.
Connecticut is among the states
Bush won in 1988 that the Clinton
campaign believes are ripe for
plucking this year. Clinton run
ning mate A1 Gore spent the day
in a larger, tougher prospect on
that list — Bush's adopted home
state of Texas.
Gore targeted Hispanic voters
who live near the Mexican border,
calling Bush a "puppet of the
rich" and promising that a Clin-
ton-Gore administration would
bring better roads and jobs to the
poor, isolated area.
Vice President Dan Quayle
campaigned in California, the
biggest electoral prize of all and a
state where a punishing recession
has pounded Bush's standing.
The vice president met privately
with former President Reagan.
During an appearance on a morn
ing television show in Los Ange
les, Quayle tried to distance the
Bush-Quayle ticket from GOP con
vention "rhetoric" critical of ho
mosexuality.
"We are the ones that have im
plemented a non-discrimination
policy when it comes to gays and
lesbians," Quayle said on KTLA-
TV. Still, he said he supported the
military ban on homosexuals,
which Clinton has promised to
end.
Clinton's morning speech to the
owner-employees at Standard
Knapp in Portland was more poli
cy lecture than partisan
stemwinder.
He said the president sat idly by
as America's manufacturing sector
lost 1.3 million jobs since 1988. He
promised an investment tax credit
for purchasing new plants and
equipment, constant retraining of
workers, and tax reform to re
move incentives that encourage
American plants to move over
seas.
Clinton also called for creating
170 manufacturing extension ser
vice centers around the country in
communities where local govern
ment and businesses need help
and promise to share costs.
The centers would serve as in
cubators for research, clearing
houses for cost-cutting measures
such as energy efficiency and offer
small-and medium-sized busi
nesses advice that major corpora
tions can afford on their own.
"We have simply got to become
as able as other nations are in find
ing new manufacturing technolo
gy and turning ideas into new
jobs in America," Clinton said.
Clinton adviser Bruce Reed
said the entire manufacturing
package would cost $2 billion a
year, paid for with defense cuts
and other spending cuts promised
by Clinton.
Bush said he expected quick
agreement from Congress on the
hurricane relief package. In a with its Arab neighbors
speech to the B'nai B'rith conven
tion/he pledged to ask Congress
for $10 billion in loan guarantees
to help Israel house immigrants.
Bush had opposed the loan
guarantees until recently.
His opposition was criticized
by Clinton and other critics as an
attempt to force Israeli conces
sions in the historic negotiations
On Tuesday, Bush told the Jew
ish organization, which is to
from Clinton on Wednesday, thi
"evidence is mounting''
progress in the peace talks.
"Public posturing has
creased, and meaningful privat
dialogue has increased," he said

State Sen. Russell Feingold won Wisconsin's De
mocratic Senate primary in an upset Tuesday on the
strength of an outsider's offbeat campaign. New
Hampshire Gov. Judd Gregg, a career politician,
cruised to victory in a Republican primary to pick a
replacement for retiring Sen. Warren Rudman.
In a race delayed by Hurricane Andrew, Democrat
Carrie Meek won nomination to'the House from
Florida. She faces no GOP opponent this fall, and
thus is assured of becoming her state's first black
member of Congress since Reconstruction.
Incumbent Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Robert
Kasten, R-Wis., were renominated, and Republicans
John McCain in Arizona and Frank Murkowski in
Alaska were certain to join them.
In all, there were six Senate and three gubernatori
al races on the ballot eight w-eeks before Election
Day.
Utah picked candidates to replace Republican Sen.
Jake Gam and GOP Gov. Norm Bangerter, both of
w T hom are retiring, and three Democrats vied for the
nomination to take on Wisconsin Sen. Robert Kasten
in November.
Some Miami residents marked ballots for mem
bers of Congress in Army tents, a week after Hurri
cane Andrew blew away their scheduled elections.
In New Hampshire, Gregg, a two-term governor
and former four-term House member, was gaining
59 percent of the GOP vote, to 35 percent for busi
nessman Hal Eckman with five percent of the
precincts counted.
A five-way Democratic primary was tabulated
more slowly.
In New Hampshire gubernatorial primaries, for
mer Attorney General Steven Merrill led handily in a
five-way Republican race, while former Rep. Nor
man D'Amours held the early Democratic lead.
In the New Hampshire House race, with 8 percent
of the precincts tallied, Zeliff was trailing his oppo
nent, Ovide Lamontagne, 60 percent to 33 percent.
Leahy had no primary opposition in his bid for
fourth term. Secretary of State James Douglas wor
the GOP primary and will oppose him in the fall.
Also in Vermont, Democratic Gov. Howard Dear,
who took office after the death of Gov. Richari
Snelling, was unopposed. Republican State Sen. Joli?
McClaughry was the only name on the GOP ballot.
Among the House members on the ballot rated as
the most endangered incumbents — all Republican!
— were John Rhodes of Arizona, a third-termer wk
wrote 32 bad checks at the House bank; and Doi
Young of Alaska, a 20-year veteran of the Houst
who penned 57 bad checks.
Jim Kolbe also faced a stiff challenge in Arizona
as did freshman Bill Zeliff in New Hampshire.
In New Hampshire's Senate race, Gregg sou£
capitalize on two terms as governor and four earfe
terms in the House to win the GOP nomination fu
Rudman's seat.
Leahy of Vermont sought nomination to a fourtl
term. Republicans Frank Murkowski of Alaska and
Kasten looked for a third; and John McCain of An
zona for his second. Only Kasten and Murkowski
faced nominal primary opposition.
In Wisconsin, Rep. Jim Moody battled business
man Joe Checota and state legislator Russell Fein
gold in the race to pick a Democratic opponent to
Kasten.
In Utah, where Gam regularly rolled up large vic
tory margins. Rep. Wayne Owens sought his party!
nomination to win the seat for the Democrats. Re
publicans featured a big-spending primary between
businessman Joe Cannon and Robert Bennett, the
son of former Sen. Wallace Bennett.
In Utah, Bangerter endorsed insurance executive
Mike Leavitt for the GOP nomination to succeed
him.
Democrats picked between Pat Shea, former chair
man of the state party, and Stewart Hanson jr., a for
mer judge in the state courts.

Baboon liver works well in human
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — A baboon liver transplanted into
a man worked nearly as well as a human organ for
71 days until his death, a positive sign for more such
operations, doctors said Tuesday.
The 35-year-old man died Sunday night after a
blood vessel burst in his brain, said Dr. Anthony
Demetris, director of transplant pathology at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
At the family's request, the man's identity re
mained secret. He had an advanced case of hepatitis
B that would have killed him had he not gotten the
transplant June 28 at Presbyterian University Hospi
tal, doctors said.
The transplant apparently was unconnected to the
burst vessel, and the autopsy indicated no signs the
liver failed, Demetris said. Doctors were unsure of
the significance of traces of blood found in his lungs
and kidneys.
An inspection Monday revealed the arteries serv
ing the liver and the surgical graft holding the organ
in place were intact, Demetris said. The man had low
levels of antibodies that could have made him reject
the liver, Demetris said.
In previous animal-to-human transplants, kid
neys, livers and hearts from primates failed because
gangrene choked off blood vessels inside the organs,
said Dr. Thomas Starzl, director of the medical cen
ter's Transplantation Institute.
The patient's hepatitis B apparently didn't affect
the baboon liver but could have appeared later, said
Dr. John Fung, the medical center's transplantation
chief. It is believed baboons can't get the disease.

Official calls recovery of region struck
by Hurricane Andrew 'miraculous'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORGAN CITY, La. — Touring hurricane-rav
aged south Louisiana with Vice President Dan
Quayle's wife, the head of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency on Tuesday called the re
gion's recovery "miraculous."
The visit by Marilyn Quayle and FEMA Director
Wallace Stackney came as President Bush asked
Congress to approve more than $7.6 billion in
emergency relief from Hurricane Andrew's vic
tims in Florida and Louisiana.
"A good thing that came out of the hurricane in
Louisiana is that everyone is working closely to
gether," Mrs. Quayle told local officials on her ar
rival at the Patterson airport.
Stackney said the area had benefited from quick
action before Andrew hit Louisiana on Aug. 25-26.
"We believe there has been a miraculous recov
ery and the evacuation plans w'orked so well," he
said.
Mrs. Quayle's tour preceded the arrival of Agri
culture Secretary Edward Madigan, who planned
to visit two hurricane-damaged farms in St. Mary
Parish, site of some of Andrew's worst destruction
in Louisiana.
On Tuesday, President Bush said he would ask
Congress for the extra money to clean up and re
build from Andrew.
"It's a large financial burden, but the personal
and human need is even more staggering," Bush
said.
Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., said the
Louisiana congressional delegation had submitted
a list of special items the state needed to recover
from Andrew, including money for damages to
the agricultural and fishing industries.
Andrew left behind at least $200 million in dam
age to the sugar cane industry and may have ru
ined oyster and shrimp harvests, officials have
said.
The hurricane, the costliest natural disaster in
the nation's history, caused an estimated $20 bil
lion in damage in Florida and $1.5 billion in
Louisiana.
Mrs. Quayle visited a heavily damaged elemen
tary school, which held classes for the first time
since Andrew hit, and later met with emergency
officials in Morgan City.
