Perot chooses running mate
Retired naval officer, Vietnam War prisoner receives the nod
The Associated Press
DALLAS — The lives of Ross Perot and retired Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale first intersected while Stockdale was a prisoner in Vietnam. Decades later, Stockdale is running for vice president with Perot at the top of the ticket.
"I have a personal reputation for being independent in outlook and manner, so this role gives me added satisfaction," Stockdale said yesterday as the two independent candidates formally entered the White House contest.
"He's been a close friend of mine ever since," Stockdale said in a news conference last March when fellow Annapolis graduate Perot first asked him to stand in as a vice presidential candidate.
Their bond goes back to Stockdale's eight years of captivity, sometimes in leg irons and sometimes in solitary confinement. Perot, at the behest of Stockdale's wife, Sybil, was working to improve conditions for the Vietnam prisoners of war.
This time, with Perot formally in the race, Stockdale's back, too — as the real vice presidential candidate, not a standby.
Perot needed his services then only as an interim running mate because some states required that the names of both candidates be listed to gain ballot access.
"I'd trust him with my life," Stockdale, 88, said of Perot in March. "He's not a sleazeball begging for favors." Perot described Stockdale yesterday as a man of steel.
When Stockdale was being held, his wife persuaded Perot to try to get North Vietnam to conform to Geneva
Convention rules of humane treatment of prisoners.
During his imprisonment, Stockdale organized resistance among fellow prisoners and spent four years in solitary confinement. He led the first bombing attack against North Vietnam in 1964 and was shot down and captured a year later. He became the highest ranking naval prisoner of war.
Stockdale, who graduated from the Naval Academy in 1946, served in the Navy until 1979 and rose to vice admiral. He was awarded the Medal of Honor and 26 combat decorations.
In 1979, Stockkdae became president of The Citadel, a military school in South Carolina, but left in 1981 to become a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution of War, Peace and Revolution.
He has written two books, "A Vietnam Experience: Ten Years of Reflection" and "In Love and War," which was co-written with his wife. The Stockdales have four children and four grandchildren.
Stockdale said in March that he was
Perot's choice:
James Stockdale
Ross Perot named James Stockdale as his running mate for vice president.
Who is James Stockdale?
*Born: Dec. 23, 1923, in Galesburg, Ill.* *Graduated in 1946 from the U.S. Naval Academy.* *Retired from Navy as Vice Admiral after 33 years of service.* *Awarded Medal of Honor for service in Vietnam as a fighter pilot.* ...was shot down in a second combat tour and was a P.O.W. for eight years.* *President of the college.* * became senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.* *Married Sybil Bailley in 1947 and has four children and four grandchildren.*
pro-choice on abortion and was not opposed to gun control, positions in line with Perot's. But while Perot opposed the Persian Gulf War, Stockdale said he supported the military action, noting that it had been approved by Congress.
Bush tax-increase ad false, Clinton says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush began airing an ad claiming Bill Clinton would be forced into making a sharp middle-class tax increase to keep his campaign promises that drew a roar of protest yesterday from the Democratic camp.
The 30-second Republican tax ad began airing Wednesday night on network television. Clinton quickly called it "bogus."
The Republican ad shows what Bush aides said were real taxpayers—a steamfitter, a scientist, two sales representatives and a housing lender. It claims their taxes would go up by amounts ranging from $1,088 to $2,077 under Clinton's economic plan.
"You can't trust Clinton economics," the ad says.
"I's wrong for you. It's wrong for America."
"It is a disgrace to the American people that the president of the United States would make a claim that is so baseless and so without foundation," Clinton said.
Clinton and his running mate, Al Gore, expressed outrage over what they called an inaccurate ad.
Gore said it was the most misleading and deceptive national television advertising he had ever seen.
The Bush campaign arranged for a senior Bush administration official to inform reporters about the economic argument behind the ad. But the official refused to be quoted by name.
Bush representative Alixe Glen said the ads were "100 percent accurate and definitively document how Clinton's so-called economic plan is a bald-faced lie."
Clinton has said he would increase taxes only for the top 2 percent of incomes, or those making more than $200,000 a year.
The Bush campaign, however, issued a statement noting Treasury figures that show that the top 2 percent starts at $64,800 in taxable income.
It said the Democrat's plan would fall $44 billion short of the $150 billion Clinton says his programs would need. And it said Clinton had not figured the cost of the government health-care program he proposes into his plan.
That plus "phony spending cuts" and revenue projections based on a "rosy scenario" would expand the overall shortfall to at least $242 billion, according to the statement. It said that to make up the difference, Clinton could have to increase taxes on incomes as low as $20,100.
Clinton attacks president's foreign policy
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton accused President Bush yesterday of defending dictators instead of the mainstream pro-democracy tradition of U.S. foreign policy.
"No American foreign policy can succeed if it neglects our domestic needs, and no American foreign policy can succeed if it slights our commitment to democracy," Clinton told a university-sponsored world affairs conference at the oatmeal Pabst Theater.
The president often takes a lot of credit for communism下fall but
fails to recognize that the global democratic revolution actually gave freedom its birth," the Arkansas governor said.
Clinton said Bush seemed to prefer a foreign policy that embraced stability at the expense of freedom, a foreign policy built more on personal relationships with foreign leaders than on consideration of how those leaders acquired and maintained their power.
"But in a world where freedom, not tyranny, is on the march, the central calculus of pure power politics simply does not compute."
Clinton said he wasn't advocating crusades to force U.S. ideals on other people.
Besides, he added, smiling, "Individ-
ul leaders come and go, even in the United States, I hope."
"The real danger is that in a time of wrenching, sweeping change, under President Bush we will cling to tired, outdated notions that do not work and cannot inspire," he said.
"I believe Mr. Bush's neglect of our democratic ideals abdou could as much harm as his neglect of our economic needs at home," he said.
Clinton was campaigning in Milwaukee and Madison, joined by Sen. Al Gore, his vice president nominee, for an hour's radio call-in program on "Rockline," broadcast on more than 150 radio stations and, by satellite, on campus television stations.
In the Milwaukee speech, Clinton said there was "no more striking example of Mr. Bush's indifference to democracy than his policy toward China."
Earlier yesterday, the Senate had failed to override a Bush veto of legislation to require that China improves its human rights, arms control and trade conduct in order to keep U.S. tariff preferences extended to most of the world.
