Clinton stresses universal social securit
The following are responses of
the major presidential candidates
to the question: “Can the United
States afford to maintain Social
Security as a program that pays
benefits universally, regardless of
the recipient’s wealth?”
generally, the higher your earnings,
the higher your benefits. And the
program should help to ensure
that those earning lower wages
and those unable to work because
of some misfortune have an ade
quate income in retirement.”
Bill Clinton
“Social Security has been a suc
cess and it has maintained public
support because it is a universal
program of social insurance in
which every American has a stake.
We must maintain a Social Securi
ty system that is universal and that
is equitable and fair. Benefits
should be related to earnings —
Bob Dole
“First, I am committed to pro
tecting Social Security for today’s
senior citizens — and for future
generations. ... Beginning in 2012,
payroll taxes will no longer cover
all benefits, and, by 2029, the sur
pluses in the trust fund will be ex
hausted. But should we ‘means
test’ Social Security — pay bene
fits based on need rather than on
contributions to the Social Secu
rity system? It’s too early to settle
on any specific proposals. Con
gress needs to hold hearings —
and perhaps set up a commission
to study the options. Any fix,
whether means testing or other
proposals, must be considered in
a total package of solutions.”
ON THE ISSUES
CAMPAIG
Ross Perot
“No. Since Social Security is
running out of money, the wealthy
should forgo their benefits so that
the millions of needy Americans
who rely on Social Security for
their retirement can survive."

GOP focuses on California Dole attacks
California. 1
SAN DIEGO (AP) — For Bob
Dole, it is the $6 million ques
tion: Is California the land of
electoral treasure or a cleverly
set Democratic trap?
Dole must answer the ques
tion by week’s end,
after Wednesday’s fi
nal debate with Pres
ident Clinton, as he
settles on a come-
from-behind strate
gy that even many
Republicans doubt
can succeed.
But all signs from
the Dole camp point
to a full-scale battle
for California and its 54 electoral
votes, provided that polls after the
debate do not show any significant
movement in Clinton’s favor.
The latest public poll put Clin
ton’s lead at 10 points. Republi
cans say their research found an
eight-point Clinton edge as of
Sunday night; Democratic polling
put the gap at 14 points.
If Dole runs all-out here, De
mocrats “will spend them into
oblivion here and they will never
catch up anywhere,” said Carrick.
“The issues cut
in our favor in
David Carney
Dole campaign
According to state and nation
al Republican sources, the Cali
fornia GOP is poised to spend $3
million on television ads criticiz
ing Clinton for opposing a ballot
initiative that would roll back
state affirmative
action programs.
Supporters of the
measure, known as
the California Civil
Rights Initiative,
also plan to spend
several million dol
lars on TV before
the Nov. 5 election,
■■■■■■■r “The issues cut
in our favor in Cali
fornia,” said David Carney, a 1992
Bush operative now working for
Dole. “In 1992, we pulled out be
fore we pulled in. It was a giant
tactical mistake.”
Dole aides said the focus on
affirmative action and immigra
tion would continue in post-de
bate California campaigning, and
likely would be the subject of
Dole TV ads in the state if he fol
lows through and runs hard here.
Beyond that, the consensus is
that Dole would need to cam
paign in California for six or sev
en of the 19 campaign days left
after the debate, keeping him
from other states where he needs
to make up ground.
“California doesn’t come cheap
— either in TV money or candidate
time,” said Dan Schnur, a former
top aide to GOP Gov. Pete Wilson.
“If they try to finesse it, it is not go
ing to happen.”
Democrats promise it won’t
happen no matter what, and
most believe Dole’s California talk
is a debate-related bluff. “They
have to spend a week in Califor
nia and are just trying to get out
of there alive," said White House
political director Doug Sosnik.
Even many Republicans smell
a trap: Dole’s progress in the polls
is almost entirely because of im
proved support among Republi
can men, and it came during a
three-week period in which Clin
ton aired few TV ads in the state.
But with Dole trailing by 20
points in Illinois and New Jersey
and by 15 points or more in Mis
souri, Michigan and Ohio, some
strategists suggest that California
is as good a gamble as any.

Texas Senate race holds back the big buck
w -h
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Texas Senate race is shaping up as
a very inexpensive contest, as
such things go.
Although Texas is the nation’s
second-largest state and is
home to multiple media mar
kets, the match between Repub
lican incumbent Phil Gramm
and Democratic rival Victor
Morales is a far cry from break
ing any spending records.
Gramm’s latest campaign fi
nance report, filed Tuesday, indi
cates the 12-year incumbent has
spent $4.6 million so far this year
— a fraction of the $12.4 million
he spent in his 1990 race.
By contrast, Republican Michael
Huffington spent just under $30
million in his unsuccessful 1994
Senate bid in California against De
mocrat Dianne Feinstein, who her
self spent $14.4 million.
“Different races in different
places at different times require
different tactics and as a conse
quence cost more or less depend
ing on what you decide to do,”
said Gramm campaign
spokesman Larry Neal.
In the case of Gramm, who
spent a grueling
year on the cam
paign trail in an
unsuccessful bid
for the GOP
presidential
nomination, the
decision was
made to keep
the Senate race
brief.
“We said the
campaign would start on Labor
Day and go full bore through
Election Day, and that is exactly
the way it’s working,” Neal said
Tuesday.
While Gramm has reported
Gramm
spending $4.6 million this year,
the impact of much of that mon
ey has yet to be felt. A substantial
chunk is for radio and TV adver
tising that has been purchased
but has yet to air. Gramm already
has been airing statewide spots —
something his
opponent has
n’t had the
money to do.
Morales,
who has run an
unconvention
al shoestring
campaign, has
spent just un
der $305,000
for the nine-
month period that ended Sept.
30, according to his Federal Elec
tion Commission filing.
Gramm has raised $2.3 million
this year for his Senate race, $1.1
million in the last three months.
Morales has raised $632,01 nexecutive ore
