Associated Press WASHINGTON President Bush's campaign chairman derided on Monday a new campaign ad praising Bill Clinton's economic record. "We're very happy that Governor Clinton appears to be willing to run on his record as governor of Arkansas," Robert Teeter said. "Governor Clinton's record is one of taking a state, when he became governor in the late 1970s, with some very difficult problems and leading it nowhere." In Little Rock, Clinton dismissed the GOP criticism, saying that Republicans lack credibility on the issue and ran the economy "into the ditch."

The deadline passed Monday for Perot to take his name off the general election ballot, and "he'll be on it," said Mark Bell, a spokesman for Secretary of State John Hannah.

"No one asked to be dropped," Bell said, and Monday was "the last day to do so." In fact, Bell said, Perot made his plans known two weeks ago in a letter to Hannah, Texas' top election official. It was then that the Dallas billionaire made final his selection of retired Vice Adm. James Stockdale as a running mate. To get on the ballot, Perot in March designated Stock-dale as his interim vice presidential choice. But he had to make a permanent selection before the ballot-listing was certain.

"It is my intention to be included on your ballot as a candidate for president of the United States in compliance with the wishes of the citizens of your state who undertook petition efforts," Perot said in the Aug. 20 letter to Hannah. Along with Perot's name, the ballot will list President Bush, the Republican nominee; Bill Clinton, the Democratic Party's candidate; and Andre Marrou, the Libertarian nominee. On May 27, Perot became the first independent presidential candidate although officially unannounced to qualify for a spot on the Texas mho Ail rnavr IrnAnt hn j4n i The Democratic nominee brushed off suggestions that Republicans had successfully put him on the defensive in the past two weeks with their repeated attacks on his tax record. "This week, we'll be talking about some different things," Clinton said.

He noted that by some estimates, Bush would have to impose more than $1 trillion in spending cuts to finance an across-the-board tax cut and other campaign promises. "They want us to wait till January with baited breath to see what they're going to do," Clinton said. "There are only a few options and I think we ought to explore that this week." Campaigning in California, Democratic vice presidential candidate Al Gore said the Republicans were wrongly suggesting Americans must choose between jobs and protecting the environment. He added, "you can create jobs and have economic success while protecting the environment and leading the way toward environmental responsibility." fThey want us to wait till January to see what they're going to do.

Perot's supporters had submitted petitions containing more than 231,000 signatures. On July 16, Perot abruptly suspended his campaign. But his grass-roots organization has continued circulating petitions to get his name on other states' ballots. Tracy French, a spokeswoman for the Perot Petition Committee in Dallas, said Perot is listed on ballots in 40 states and supporters continue staffing offices in numerous cities, including Austin. Six other states are evaluating petitions to get Perot on their ballots, and petitions are circulating in five more states, French said.

"Our goal remains to have him listed in every state." Quayle calls remarks during Emmy show 'lies' HUNTS VILLE, Ala. (AP) -Vice President Dan Quayle picked a fresh fight with Hollywood on Monday, accusing the participants in TV's Emmy awards presentation of lying about his views toward single mothers. ter winning the Emmy for best actress in a comedy as Murphy Brown's title character. The vice president had this response when he landed in Hunts-ville: "Did you see that my favorite TV show got a lot of awards? Now Murphy Brown, listen closely because I'm only going to say it once: You owe me big time." Quayle added: "Hollywood doesn't like our values." This article Includes material from The New York Times. That is a lie." Quayle was a frequent target of jokes during Sunday's nationally televised Emmy awards, as Hollywood fired back at his criticism of TV character Murphy Brown for having a child out of wedlock.

Quayle's retort was directed at the show's creator, Diane English, who, while accepting the Emmy for best comedy series, said Sunday night: "I would also like to thank, in particular, all the single parents out there who, either by choice or by necessity, are raising their kids alone. Don't let anyone tell you you're not a family." In criticizing Murphy Brown, Quayle said the show and its lead character, played by actress Can-dice Bergen, were glorifying single parenthood in a way that discredited traditional family values.
