Vice Presidential Debate
Gore, Kemp plan to
focus on Dole, Clinton
BAL HARBOUR, Fla. (AP) —
When asked about the possibility
of running for president in four
years, A1 Gore hastens to end the
line of inquiry. Jack Kemp shakes
his head and wags an admonish
ing finger.
As they prepare for Wednesday
night’s debate, the candidates for
vice president are trying to keep
the focus on Bill Clinton and Bob
Dole. “It is not A1 Gore vs. Jack
Kemp,” the GOP vice presidential
nominee said Tuesday
In pre-debate interviews with
The Associated Press, Gore and
Kemp predicted their 90-
minute, prime-time debate
would closely follow the themes
of Sunday’s encounter between
Clinton and Dole. That ex
change focused on tax policy
and the state of the economy on
education, welfare and other so
cial policies, and on the U.S.
role abroad at the close of the
20th century.
Gore, for example, said he was
determined to reinforce Clinton’s
argument that the GOP ticket’s
$548 billion tax-cut plan would re
quire devastating cuts in Medicare
and education spending.
“The numbers do not add up,”
Gore said.
Kemp, for his part, said Dole
had scored points in casting Clin
ton as a liberal hiding behind con
servative election-year promises.
Kemp promised to follow up by
taking issue with a new Clinton
campaign ad in which the presi
dent says he views his job as "tak
ing care of the American people.”
As they discussed their expecta
tions for the debate and outlined
their views of the vice presidency
the former House colleagues
voiced friendship and respect for
each other and predicted their en
counter would be a civil affair.
“You can disagree without be
ing disagreeable,” Gore said Mon
day afternoon during a break in
his debate preparations in Saraso
ta, where former New York Rep.
Tom Downey was the Democratic
stand-in for Kemp.

Attorney objects to
Gov. Bush on jury
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. George W.
Bush would have been asked to
answer questions under oath
about his personal history of
drinking and driving — a subject
he has avoided — if he had been
selected as a juror on Tuesday.
But Bush was dismissed from
jury duty after the defense attor
ney in a driving-while-intoxicat
ed case moved to have the gov
ernor struck because of his
power to pardon convicts.
“I thought that there might be a
conflict, but 1 didn’t know it would
be grounds for dismissal from the
jury,” Bush said. “I accept the ver
dict and I will go back to work, but
I’m glad to do my duty.
“It’s important for citizens from
all walks of life to do their duty
when called.”
Bush was one of 18 potential ju
rors called for a driving-while-in
toxicated case in which six jurors
were to be impaneled.
After his dismissal, Bush was
asked by reporters if he had ever
been arrested for driving while
intoxicated.
“I do not have a perfect record
as a youth,” Bush responded.
When asked if that meant yes or
no, he said, “When I was young, I
did a lot of foolish things. But I will
tell you this, I urge people not to
drink and drive. It’s an important
message for all people to hear. I
don’t drink, and I hope others don’t
drink and drive as well.”
