Soviet law restricts issues in campaign
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The long awaited Soviet election reform calls for a choice of candidates but sharply limits what they can advocate.
"The program of the candidate must not contradict the Constitution or Soviet law," says the draft elec- tory published in Sunday's newsmen.
It is not clear whether that restricts candidates to mere promises, like more meat in stores or a new movie theater.
But since the Constitution defines the Soviet Union as a socialist nation led by the Communist Party, the phrase seems to rule out other political parties, and the unaffiliated candidates to the communist system.
Still, citizens may see something
slightly akin to a Western-style election campaign for the first time next spring, as nominees grapple with new concepts like competing candidates, television time and a campaign staff.
The draft law says candidates for the 2,250 seats in the new Congress of People's Deputies will be given time off from work to campain, free public transportation within their district, and access to the state run media. They also may ask 10 friends to help them campaign.
Traditionally, Soviet elections have had only one candidate for each position, so campaigning was limited to a biography and a few nights to meet the candidate. Election officials trained 90 percent voter participation.
WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats agree that the 10th Congress compiled a formidable record of achievement, but the legislators also left behind a list of unsolved issues ranging from the minimum wage to cleaning up the country's air and helping families.

A number of the unresolved issues involve domestic policy fights, such as the minimum wage, family-related legislation and cleaning up the nation's air.

Bush will have to pay for visit to Lee's Summit
The Associated Press
LEE S SUMMIT, Mo — George Bush cost Lee's Summit a lot of money — and his staff was rude to boot.
So the city has decided to bill the Bush campaign for $1.72, the amount it cost for police overtime for officers in the department.
Mayor Bob Jones said the Board of Alderman voted to send an itemized bill to the Bush campaign. Jones, who said he was an independent and a member of the Democratic race, said he doubled the bill would be paid.
The bill would be unusual, said Mary Sterling,
executive director of Bush's Missouri campaign.
"But we'll take a look at it," she said. "other cities don't do that, but if they think they were out something unfairly, then we will try to work with them."
"They were some of the rudest people I ever seen, Jones said. They didn't ask. They came in."
