We must make sure the jobs are there. There should be one million new jobs for welfare recipients by the year 2000. States under this law can now take the money that was spent on the welfare check and use it to help businesses to provide paychecks. I challenge every state to do it soon.” Bob Dole “This legislation provides states with strong financial incentives to help welfare recipients get jobs or get the training they need for a well-paying job. This legislation also helps eliminate one of the biggest barriers for women who want to go to work — lack of child care — by providing almost $14 bil lion for child care programs. Addi tionally (it) contains a safety net that allows states to exempt 20 per cent of their caseload — the hard ship cases — from the time limits.” Ross Perot “Our government must help welfare recipients receive the tools they need to become productive taxpayers.” inor parties sharing Texas ballot is playing at Mi cover act, (AP) — Their names don’t (ike a familiar chord as do Bill iiton and Bob Dole.

Around family, Hanford con fides, “Bob’s a sweater man.” The longtime Kansas legisla tor, now Republican presidential nominee, has been known as Majority Leader in the Senate, as Beltway Insider, even as Richard Nixon’s Hatchet Man. But Sweater Man? It’s the personal side of Dole known only to family and a handful of decades-old friends. And, while he is described in su perlatives as a loyal and thought ful man, a sweater is as warm and fuzzy as this stoic Russell, Kan., native gets. Back in Russell, sisters Gloria and Norma Jean are remem bered on every birthday and Christmas with more cards and more money, “so we can go out and get something we need,” says Gloria. The sisters reciprocate with Dole's sentimental favorites — homemade ice cream, fried chicken and pickled eggs — whenever he sweeps into town. The last time was in August, when Dole announced Jack Kemp as his running mate. Mak ing a special trip to the family home that Dole still owns, Gloria arranged for red roses to greet him from an ancient white vase on the hall table. It was the same white vase that held the red roses 2nd Lt. Robert J. Dole had wired to his mother more than 50 years ago from his Army post. “He had tears in his eyes when he saw it there,” Gloria said. “I knew he would, because it’s a touch of Mom.” Clinton sends personal note to Nancy Reagan DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Clinton sent Nancy Reagan a personal note Wednesday after she objected to a campaign ad featuring Jim Brady, Ronald Reagan’s wounded press secretary. The White House did not release the note’s message but said the ad would stop running in a day or so. “If we continue to advertise on this issue, we’ll take Mrs. Reagan’s views into consideration,” presiden tial spokesman Mike McCurry said. The ad, unveiled last week, shows Brady—shot during the assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981 — praising President Clinton for a gun control bill. It opens with footage of the attempt on Reagan’s life. “This horrible re-enactment stretches even the minimum levels of civility in current political advertis ing,” Nancy Reagan wrote. McCurry said the ad “really does n’t have anything to do with either President Reagan or Mrs. Reagan.” Besides, he said, “that particular footage, of course, Mrs. Reagan intro duced at the Republican convention” in a GOP video. “So it’s a very familiar scene to all Americans and certainly to Mrs. Reagan.” McCurry said Brady and his wife, Sarah, a leader of gun-control efforts, “are obviously sympathetic to Mrs. Reagan’s concern.” Trunk Showing of Designer Dian Malouf Friday, October 25 & Saturday, October 26 846-0832 108 North Ave. Bryan Mon-Sat 10-6 694-9357 Post Oak Mall Mon-Sat 10-6 Sun 12-6 H'.iscir.*ir.i!iGCRsr*r.*ir..BiiGCf:?
