Bush also said that Clinton's proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans was "a big mistake. I think it's counterproductive. And when you analyze the program, have this expression around here smoke and mirrors, going to save it all by eliminating overhead, eliminating waste and there's billions of dollars earmarked to do that and I just don't think that's practical." By Terence Hunt THt AiiOClATlO rust WASHINGTON President Bush revved tip his campaign in the Rose Garden today, slamming Bill Clinton's economic-growth plan and accusing the Democratic presidential nominee of stealing Republican rhetoric about changing America. Bush said "I loved it" when Clinton said at last week's Democratic convention that "we have changed the everybody in one way or another has a friend that's touched with this and we just simply have to win this Tight and I'm optimistic we will."

He replied that his budget seeks $4.9 billion for AIDS research and care, 10 times as much as is spent for cancer on a per case basis. "I am somewhat optimistic about reaching a major breakthrough," Bush said, adding that he was briefed recently by top AIDS researchers. "It's a national problem it's heartbreak hill," Bush said. "It's just world, now it's time to change America." "Hey, a Democratic candidate dropped out of the race for plagiarism last year," Bush said, referring to Joseph Biden's 1988 pullout.

Robert Teeter says a cut in federal spending to reduce the budget deficit will be a priority and that changes in welfare policy are also needed. "We have got to make some fundamental changes in this country in order to compete in this rapidly emerging world economy," Teeter said on CBS' "Face the Nation." The president criticized Clinton today during a question and answer session with youths invited to the White House as part of the American Legion's Boys Nation program.

After the rally, Secret Service agents hustled Clinton away from an anti-abortion demonstrator who reached down to his waist to pull out the bottom of a T-shirt that read, "Abortion Kills."

The activists decided Sunday not to immediately form a national organization or an information clearinghouse for the grassroots effort, which Perot abandoned Thursday by declaring he would not be a candidate.

Perot met with the volunteers twice during the weekend after saying during an appearance Friday on CNN's "Larry King Live" program that he would "support them any way I can or play any role they want me to.

But Thieme also said the passage of time increases the chances the letter is valid. "The more time goes by I have to look more strongly on the possibility that he may be dead," he said. i- Barbara Rondeau, who lived with Roche, received the letter at their apartment, six days after he disappeared.

The letter addressed to "The family of Thomas Roche" included a driver's license, credit card and piece of jewelry belonging to Roche. The writer described meeting Roche at a bar and getting him to agree to meet later. "He fell for it and we arranged to meet on Friday the 13th," the letter-writer said. "I must assure you that it was neat and quick. I do not think he suffered at all." BURBANK, Calif.

(AP) Police expected Thomas Roche to turn up in a few days, as do most people whom loved ones have reported missing. Instead, a letter came from someone who wrote of an uncontrollable need to kill. No sign of Roche, 37, has been found. And police say the letter has proved more puzzling than helpful. "I am suffering a great deal of guilt right now about what I have done and I feel it is necessary to write about it for my sake and yours," the letter begins.

"You don't know me and hopefully you never will but I am the one who killed Tom Roche." Roche, a machinist, disappeared on Sept. 13, 1991, leaving behind his live-in girlfriend, a new job and a cherished Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
