Dole beats Clinton in survey
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole is capable of defeating President Clinton in 1996, but if Ross Perot runs again, the edge goes to Clinton, according to a new survey.
In a two-way race, the Kansas Republican was the choice of 49 percent of the 1,440 registered voters questioned in the poll by the Times Mirror Center for The People and The Press. Clinton got 46 percent, and 5 percent were undecided.
But if Perot mounts another independent bid for the White House, he would take more votes from Dole than from the president, the survey indicated.
The survey showed Clinton would get 39 percent, Dole 36 percent and Perot 20 percent. In 1992, Clinton won the election with 43 percent of the vote, compared to 37 percent for George Bush and 19 percent for Perot.
Dole's biggest strengths were among white males, college graduates, voters earning more than $50,000 a year and those who are married.
Retired Gen. Colin Powell does even better than Dole, getting 51 percent to Clinton's 41 percent in a head-to-head matchup.
The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 2 percentage points. The survey made public Wednesday is based on random telephone interviews conducted July 12-27.
House speaker in re-election trouble
Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — He's a big man on Capitol Hill, yet House Speaker Thomas Foley could be in trouble at home.
"I like Tom. He's done good for me," Loren "Kay" Morse said yesterday, taking time from listening to Rush Limbaugh to answer a reporter's questions. "I admire Tom, but I think it's time."
In Tuesday's primary, Foley got 35 percent of the vote in his bid for a 16th term, his worst primary
showing in 30 years. The Democrat will face moderate Republican George Nethercutt, who got 30 percent, in November.
Foley's largely rural, agricultural district is generally conservative and Republican. The speaker will also have to deal with the antiincumbency sentiment that led Washington state voters to approve a 1992 term limits measure for members of Congress. Foley has challenged the law in court.
Reno rebuffs governor's demand
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Clinton Administration is accusing California Gov. Pete Wilson, a potential 1996 presidential foe, of playing politics about illegal immigration.
Attorney General Janet Reno rebuffed Wilson's demand that an immigration emergency be declared in his state. And she said yesterday that California had not applied for available federal money to help deal with the flood of arrivals from Mexico.
Illegal immigration has become a major issue in Wilson's re-election
battle against Democrat Kathleen Brown, with Wilson urging President Clinton to declare an emergency so federal funds can be provided to the state.
In making that request Wednesday, Wilson said, "There is no further excuse to delay reimbursing California for the costs of immigration."
Reno released a letter to the governor noting that a declaration of emergency is not needed to gain money from the Immigration Emergency Fund.
Democrats push campaign reform
WASHINGTON — Congressional Democrats, headed for a scary election season, took up the protective banner of reform yesterday with a push to change campaign financing and restrict gifts from lobbyists.
The Associated Press
The Senate voted 96-2 to go ahead with debate on the campaign finance bill, embroiling the chamber in a talkfest that Republicans pledged to carry on for at least 30 hours. Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, threatened to keep the Senate in session all night to burn up the clock.
The immediate issue was whether the House and Senate should work out a compromise bill that would provide for voluntary limits on overall campaign spending in exchange for federal matching funds for candidates who comply and would limit special-interest money flowing into campaigns—a puzzle that has eluded solution for 12 years.
Sen, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he hoped to kill the bill and at the same time beat up Democrats over the measure's public financing provisions. "Taxpayer financing of elections is a disaster, and it's terrific for us politically."

Former hostage wants to see files
WASHINGTON — Terry Anderson wants to see the files federal agencies compiled about him during his seven years as a hostage in Lebanon but says some bureaucrats won't do it without permission from his terrorist kidnappers.
He named 13 government agencies as defendants in the suit he filed yesterday in federal court, seeking to get documents he says are his by right under the Freedom of Information Act.
"The files probably contain some secrets I shouldn't know, and I don't want those." Anderson told a news conference in his lawyers' office.
