Attacks continue on candidates
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Bush said Thursday he has a
"pleasant relationship" with Bill Clinton, then
freshened his attack on his rival's character
and economic proposals.
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.

campaign distributed a
letter from 50 retired

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

President praises recent relations with Vietnai
Ir
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - President Bush on
Thursday praised Vietnam's willingness to
cooperate in accounting for missing American
servicemen but said he doesn't see normal
relations with Hanoi in the near future.
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.

White House plans to research violent
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The Bush
administration said Thursday it
plans a major research project to
examine the causes of violence
and angrily denied that it is a
racist plot to link homicidal
behavior genetically to minorities.
"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
