The Democrat said that after 12 years in power, the GOP has "run out of direction and they ought to be run out of town." The third man in the race has "some good ideas and he's got some nutty ideas/' the president said in an interview on "CBS This Morning." "I don't think Bush people want to waste their vote (on Ross Perot) and that's what it undoubtedly would be." Clinton didn't mention Perot by name but lumped him together with Bush by implication. "Of all the choices you have in this election, only one has never been part of the Washington insider establishment," he said of himself. The Texas businessman has stepped up his radio and television advertising, and polls suggest he has gained strength in selected parts of the country after the three presidential debates. — The president's campaign distributed a letter from 50 retired admirals and generals calling on Clinton to release all the documents in his possession Clinton about his Vietnam-era draft status.Clin reminded his audience that 24 retiredadiir, and generals have endorsed him. — Clinton previewed a 30-second tele® commercial in support of his plan to imp higher taxes on foreign cor porations operating in the UnitedStii The ad says Bush "supports tax loophote the firms, "supports them so much (lull attacks Bill Clinton for wanting to dosefc — Bush campaigned with JosephCkip a former hostage who was held inlebanor "God bless America and God bfe: president," said Cicippio. — Perot's running mate, JamesStodiij paid a low-key visit to Seattle, dropping hi 10 minutes at the ticket's campaignoffc sign autographs for volunteers.

July wher He and pract Rl doub R Bush, Gore call vote for Perot 'wasted THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - President Bush and Democrat A1 Gore on Thursday urged Ross Perot's supporters not to waste their votes, trying to stall a modest Perot resurgence attributed to his debate performances and $30 million in recent spending. Democratic nominee Bill Clinton joined the cause when asked about Perot as he campaigned in Seattle. He said the Texan's economic plan would toss 400,000 people from their jobs by 1995. "When the American people look at it, I think they are going to vote for me," Clinton said. Perot countered with another 30-minute network commercial Thursday night that continues the story of his life and his efforts overseas. The ad focused on his work for Vietnam POWs. He repeated charges that Washington abandoned MIAs in Laos and pledged to address the issue as president.Perot also discussed the start of Electronic Data Systems Corp., the computer services company that made his $3 billion fortune, and the 1979 rescue of two EDS employees from an Iranian prison. New campaign finance reports showed that Perot has spent more than $46 million of his own fortune on the campaign, including $30 million in the last six weeks. Campaign and industry sources said that in addition to network television buys, Perot is airing TV ads in 23 states around the country. The Texas billionaire also is spending heavily on radio ads in at least nine states: Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. Supportersta been urging Perot to ri campaign appearancesassi but aides said Thursday fa were scheduled.

Bush left the impression in an interview with CBS that there will be no decision on normalizing relations before his term is finished — meaning a decision may fall to Democrat Bill Clinton if Bush is defeated. The president reaffirmed that normalizing’ relations with Vietnam will be linked to Hanoi's cooperation in accounting for the MIAs and hinted that an exchange of ambassadors could depend on whether Hanoi moves toward democracy. The United States has never had diplomatic relations with the Hanoi government and maintains a trade embargo against Vietnam. "I must be satisfied as president that all obstacles about POWs and MIAs have been removed," Bush said in explaining his requirements for extending diplomatic recognition. He described as a "little optimistic" an account in Thursday's editions of the Los Angeles Times that relations could be established within two to three months. Families of the missing Americans generally have been supportive or the administration's refusal to unconditionally extend diplomatic recognition to Hanoi. Bush was upbeat for the most part about the fruits of the recent mission to Hanoi by his special envoy to Vietnam, retired Army Gen. John Vessey Jr. "This is a major breakthrough,"li president said of the Vessey mission^!*' release to U.S. authorities of somefl^ related photographs, mj "But I need to know exactly hovnW Bush added.

"I will not apologize for doing what I can to reduce the number of young lives that are being tragically destroyed by violence," said Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan. "And I will not give credence to those who have been leveling spurious and extremely damaging allegations." Sullivan did not name his critics in his speech Thursday to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. In an interview later with The Associated Press, he said two of them were Dr. Peter Breggin, a suburban Maryland psychiatrist The Texas A&lM University Student Publications Board is accepting applications for Editor, The Battalion Spring 1993 The spring editor will serve from January 11, 1993, through May 7, 1993.
