Bush, Clinton address Guard
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — President Bush told a military group yesterday that Bill Clinton's draft record was important because any president might have to decide to send troops to war. Clinton steered clear of the draft issue while telling the group he was ready to lead the military as commander in chief.
The candidates addressed the National Guard Association an hour apart in appearances that had been seen as a chance for a hard-hitting exchange on Clinton's descriptions of how he avoided the Vietnam draft.
Bush spoke of controversy about the issue, but his references were brief.
Bush, speaking first, raised the draft issue even as he said it was not his intention to make a political assault.
Aides said that Clinton had prepared a response in case Bush attacked directly on the draft issue, as other Republicans have, but that he decided it was unnecessary after hearing Bush's speech.
"There's been a lot of controversy swirling around about service to country and influence to avoid the military, and I've read a great deal of speculation that I was going to come out and use this forum to attack Gov. Clinton," he said. "I didn't come here to attack him. Still, I want to tell you I feel very strongly about certain aspects of the controversy swirling around Gov. Clinton.
The Democrat emphasized the subject he considers at the center of the campaign the economy, "National issues with economic security," he said.
"Despite all our problems at home, we can never forget that we ask our presidents to lead the military — to bear the awful authority of deciding
to send your sons and daughters in harm's way."
Bush, a Navy flier shot down in World War II, said, "Does this mean that if you've never seen the awful horror of battle that you can never be commander in chief?
Clinton, who watched Bush's speech on television before arriving at the hall, rearranged his schedule to be on hand to respond to Bush directly. But he ended up ignoring the president's swipes.
"Of course not. Not at all. But it does mean that we must hold our presidents to the highest standard."
"I will never allow a hollow army. We still must have the best-equipped and best-trained military to meet today's threats," he said, almost echoing Bush's own remarks about the importance of the military in a still-dangerous world.
The Arkansas governor acknowledged in April that he received an induction notice in 1969 but said he was allowed to finish his first year of graduate school because the letter arrived late. That summer, he pledged to join an ROTC program to avoid the draft, but he later backed out of that agreement and made himself available to be drafted. By then, a lottery system was in effect, and Clinton drew a high number and never was called.
Clinton said he would not shrink from his responsibilities as commander in chief with a goal of fighting to win.
Critics have fastened on to the fact
that details of Clinton's draft history have come out piecemeal and have accused him of inconsistencies in his descriptions of what occurred.
Both Bush and Clinton lauded the National Guard but said spending reductions would be necessary as the post-Cold War world adjusted to a post-Cold War world.
Bush said Clinton would slash the overall military budget too much. Clinton said he would cut just 5 percent more than Bush, focusing on such items as "Star Wars" research, and would actually put more emphasis on the National Guard and Reserves than Bush would.
Citing high unemployment and slow economic growth, he said, "So that we can be strong abroad, we must once again be strong at home."
Both candidates got warm receptions from the audience. Clinton's speech was interrupted twice by a failing public address system, and he received applause each time it came back on and brushed aside the inconvenience with a joke.
Rep. Dave McCurdy, D-Okla, who accompanied Clinton to the platform along with the commander of the Arkansas National Guard, said he had urged Clinton to attend. And he suggested the tactic worked in heading off a Bush attack.
"I think the president backed away here today on the draft issue," he said. "I'm not sure he would have been so kind had the governor not come here today."
But Tori Clarke, a Bush campaign representative, suggested that the Republicans had iured Clinton into a trap and that his appearance was elevating the draft issue to new heights.
"This guy wants to be commander in chief, but he can't avoid the land mines on the campaign trail," she said.
