GOP to fight abortion at convention
Dole awarded two convention posts to straunch abortion opponents Bush, Hyde
WASHINGTON (AP) — Try
ing to dodge a revolt by anti
abortion conservatives, GOP
presidential challenger Bob Dole
has given two top convention
posts to Republicans who
promise not to weaken the par
ty’s hard line against abortion.
Illinois Rep. Henry Hyde,
who, as platform committee
chairman, will write the new
GOP platform, and Texas Gov.
George W. Bush, who will pre
side over the convention as “tem
porary” co-chairman, both reiter
ated their commitment to the
platform plank that calls for a
constitutional ban on abortion.
Their appointments, an
nounced Wednesday by the Re
publican National Committee,
dampened speculation that
Dole would move to the middle
on abortion. Any change risked
a revolt by Pat Buchanan, who
nominally remains in the GOP
presidential race and has
threatened a third-party candi
dacy if the abortion plank were
modified.
“I don’t intend to weaken the
pro-life position the party’s had
for the past four elections. My
posture is not one of retreat,”
Hyde told the Daily Herald in
Arlington Heights, Ill.
"Good for Henry. I’ll stand
with him 100 percent on that,”
Buchanan said at a campaign
rally in Indianapolis Wednes
day night.
Bush, son of the former presi
dent, favors limiting abortions to
cases of rape, incest or to save
the life of the mother. And while
his own view is different, he said
reassuring,” said activist Phyl
lis Schlafly, who served with
Hyde on the 1984 committee
that wrote the existing abor
tion plank.
Dole had explored the idea of
tinkering with the platform’s
abortion language, nonetheless
promising a plank that “will sup
port the pro-life position.” His
Dole had endorsed the idea of tinkering
with the platform's abortion language^
nonetheless promising a plank that
"will support the pro-life position."
— BOB DOLE
presumed GOP presidential nominee
he believes the GOP should re
tain a platform plank calling for
a constitutional ban on abortion.
“It was a winning platform in
1988. I don’t think it determined
the outcome of the 1992 election.
I think it’s important to keep it
in,” he said.
Anti-abortion conservatives
welcomed the news.
“Henry Hyde is very capa
ble. It’s splendid, and yes, it’s
campaign is not eager for a pub
lic fight over the issue at the Au
gust convention, which marks
the formal kickoff off his gener
al-election campaign for the
White House.
In other convention appoint
ments announced Wednesday,
House Speaker Newt Gingrich
will serve as permanent chair
man while Bush will share the
prominent job of “temporary”
co-chairman with another of
the party’s rising stars — Gov.
Christie Whitman of New Jer
sey.
Gingrich’s selection was in
keeping with the Republican tra
dition of having the party’s
House leader serve as conven
tion chairman. But some Dole
advisers, concerned that nega
tive public opinion of Gingrich
would damage Dole, have sought
to limit the speaker’s prime-time
exposure at this summer’s na
tionally televised convention in
San Diego.
Whitman and Bush, both pop
ular governors from states with
considerable blocs of electoral
votes, will share the gavel with
Gingrich in presiding over four
days of convention activities be
ginning August 12.
In a statement, RNC Chair
man Haley Barbour said the
governors were selected to re
flect the Republican commit
ment to “moving power and
money away from Washington
and back to families, states and
communities.” Furthering that
theme, nine co-chairmen of the
platform committee are to be
drawn from state and local lead
ers and announced later, Bar
bour said.
Perot continues to push for third party
1992presidential candidate says Republicans
too busy playing games with reform issues
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ross
Perot said today he will step up
his campaign for a new political
party because Republicans “are
playing games” with his ideas
for reforming the federal gov
ernment.
Asked why he doesn’t sup
port Republican leaders since
they claim to agree on such is
sues as term limits and cam
paign reform, Perot said:
They’re talking about it. But
they haven’t done it.”
“We want results, not talk,”
Perqt said of his new Reform
Party, which he hopes to put on
the ballot in all 50 states.
Speaking on Dallas radio sta
tion KRLD this morning, Perot
said Reform Party
members planned
to be across Texas
today gathering
signatures on a
petition that could
get them on the
November ballot
in Texas.
Perot said a
third party is
needed to re
store faith in
government.
“We’ve got to put our financial
house back in order. Our country
is in a financial mess,” Perot said.
He told “CBS This Morning”
that Republicans hold a majority
in both the House and Senate
“because independent voters
gave it to them in 1994.”
“When you’ve got a majority
in the House and Senate, you
can always push (legislation) all
the way through both and put it
on the president’s desk. This is
not being done,” Perot said.
Republican presidential can
didate Bob Dole and other GOP
leaders have said they don’t un
derstand why Perot wants a
third party instead of working
with the Republican Party.
“Things like campaign finance
reform, things like setting the
highest ethical standards in gov
ernment, things like term limits
... they just don’t want to touch
and they’re playing games with
it,” he said.
“The people feel that the two
existing parties are bought and
paid for by the special interests
and that the peoples’ interests
are not represented,” Perot said,
claiming that “93 percent of the
American people think that Con
gress wastes their money and 7
out of 10 Americans feel that
Congress is not acting in the
best interests of the nation.”
Perot said politics have be
come “so mean, so bitter-spirited
that the best people in our coun
try are leaving it. People like
General (Colin) Powell wont
even touch it.”
In yet another interview this
morning, Perot told Dallas radio
station KEWS that the focus of
his political work is in the future
of America.
“We’re looking for young peo
ple, parents and grandparents
who understand the critical fi
nancial condition this country is
in,” Perot said.
