AUSTIN (AP) — A day after call
ing Republican Congressman Hen
ry Bonilla a “coconut” and a “wan-
na-be white,” Democratic U.S.
Senate candidate Victor Morales
backed away from the racially sen
sitive comments Thursday.
“While I disagree strongly with
the perspective Mr. Bonilla brings
to his office and the manner in
which he represents his con
stituents, public discourse should
be conducted on a higher plane,”
Morales said.
‘T used terms I should not
have used,” he said in a written
statement.
On Wednesday, Morales said
Bonilla reminded him ‘‘of the
people when I was growing up
that we called chocolate chips,
coconuts,” explaining the people
were dark-skinned but ignored
their heritage.
“To me, there are certain people
within the Hispanic community,
who for their own reasons, seem to
forget who they are ... and that’s
the way he strikes me.”
The remarks were quoted by the
Houston Chronicle and the San
Antonio Express-News in the
newspapers’ Thursday editions.
Bonilla, R-San Antonio, de
clined to respond to Morales’ re
marks or his retraction.
Pulce Martinez, a San Antonio
Republican activist, said Morales’
comments hurt everyone in the
Hispanic community.
‘‘Hispanics can’t get ahead be
cause they keep pulling one an
other down,” said Martinez,
chairman of the Texas Republi
can Party’s Partnership Commit
tee. The organization works to
get more minorities involved in
the GOP.
(AP) — The following are the
answers of the major presidential
candidates to the question:
‘‘What changes, if any, do you
support in abortion law?”
Bill Clinton
‘‘The decision to have an
abortion should be between a
woman, her doctor, and her
faith. Abortions should be safe,
legal, and rare. We are working
to lower the number of abor
tions by emphasizing education,
prevention and personal re
sponsibility to reduce the num
ber of unwanted pregnancies.”

Dole challenges Clinton to telltru
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Battered by Demo
cratic ads claiming he would cut Medicare, Bob Dole is
sued a blunt challenge to President Clinton on Thurs
day: “Why don’t you tell the truth, Mr. President?”
“I know it’s hard to get the president off his soap
box, he’s out there every day announcing some new
gimmick,” Dole said at a morning rally aimed at woo
ing older Americans. “But I would say to the presi
dent, ‘Mr. President, why don’t you be honest with
Florida seniors and other seniors across America?”’
Dole continued, “Once he does that, we’re going
to wipe him out in Florida and all across America.”
The GOP presidential nominee went on to de
fend his record on programs for the elderly: “Listen,
I helped rescue Social Security, all my mother had
was Social Security income and Medicare. I know
how important it is to seniors, men and women.
Let’s set the record straight right now.”
To buttress his argument, Dole waved a 1983
thank-you letter from the late Florida Rep. Claude
Pepper, the Democratic champion of senior citizens.
Supporters at the half-filled West Palm Beach Audito
rium were handed a copy of the letter as they left.
Dole was beginning a four-day retreat at his
oceanside condominium in Bal Harbour, where he
planned to prepare for the first presidential debate
on Oct. 6 in Hartford, Conn.
For months, Dole has been the subject of ads say
ing the former Senate majority leader “voted to cut
i the prop
‘f 1 i
per; *_ ix '
Medicare” when he pushed a GOP budget pi;
would have limited spending growth in
The charges have taken a toll in a state
more than one-fifth of the state’s population
60. While Florida is usually a safe GOP bet,
statewide polls give Clinton a slight lead here.
Dole served on Pepper’s bipartisan commi
to reform Social Security and is this yearsujje
a similar panel to tackle Medicare’s ballooning
To that end. Dole asked for Clinton’s coo]
“Let’s try and work this out and get it done-
out of politics.
“Everybody would be a lot better off."
Clinton campaign spokesman Joe Lockhan
Dole “should take some responsibility forte
actions. What scares older American in
around the nation is Bob Dole’s own recordin’
tility toward Medicare.” Lockhart noted!
had voted against the creation of Medicare.
Both candidates support cuts in future Mei
spending. Dole favors saving $158 billion by
ing Medicare’s growth over six years while
would save $124 billion by reducing growthovei
same period.
In interviews for the American Associi
Retired Persons’ membership bulletin,(lie
candidates said the savings would comein
from trimming increases in payments to
and physicians.
