May 1, 2000 The Paducah Sun CAMPAIGN 2000 DEATHS Gore bashes Bush's 'blank' foreign policy I The vice president says Bush's inexperience will be filled in by right-wing ideology and Cold War policies. By Sandra Sobieraj Associated Press BOSTON Vice President Al Gore dismissed George W. Bush's foreign policy thinking as "noticeably blank," casting his Republican presidential rival Sunday as a puppet of "right wing" ideologues such as Sen. Jesse Helms and dangerously fixated on the Cold War past. In an address to the International Press Institute's conference of foreign journalists, Gore issued a broadside against Bush, the Texas governor, on everything from Russia and China to arms control and nuclear testing.

Gore dismissed Bush's foreign policy as lacking on 21st century national security challenges such as terrorism, narcotics trafficking, the global environment and international family planning, for which Gore supports additional U.S. aid. "One has to assume that these gaps in Governor Bush's foreign policy views and experience will be filled by the ideologies and inveterate antipathies of his party the right wing, partisan isolationism of the Republican congressional leadership," Gore said. Condoleezza Rice, Bush's top foreign policy adviser, shot back that the speech lacked credibility, "somewhat typical of the vice president." "He has this tendency to say that he's going to do one thing and in fact he's. done another for seven years." Gore, who has pledged to make the rejected Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty the first measure he submits to the Senate if elected, chafed at last week's declaration by Helms, "out of overt distaste for the president," Gore said that he will block any new arms control pacts until a new president is inaugurated.

The administration is negotiating a START III weapons pact with Russia and hoping to adjust the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty to allow for a limited U.S. missile defense system to protect against attacks from rogue states. "If Governor Bush were to inherit from us an arms control Campaign 2000 agreement so clearly in the best interests of the American people, is Senator Helms the last word?" Gore asked. He criticized Bush for promising to heighten the threshold for or American intervention in overseas crises and get involved only where there is a direct U.S. interest.

The Bush campaign, on the other hand, says Clinton foreign policy has been haphazard and incoherent. "Governor Bush dangerously fixates on the Cold War past when speaking of the use of force. He suggests that he would not intervene to relieve even the brutal repression of ethnic cleansing and genocide," Gore said. "We must reject the new isolationism that says, don't help anywhere because we cannot help everywhere." Rice countered, "If what the vice president is saying is that the post War mission of American armed forces is to just intervene in other people's civil wars because we might be able to help, I think that's a headline." The speech in Boston's historic Old South Meeting Place, built by the Puritans in 1729, was the latest in a series by Gore in which he paints Bush as lacking the experience and knowledge to be an effective president and world leader. Bush rebuts that argument with an emphasis on character.

Outside, several dozen demonstrators protested U.S. military aid to Colombia with posters saying Gore had "blood on his hands." On Russia, Gore defended his hands-on diplomacy, which 1 Bush has criticized as solicitous and for turning a blind eye to building corruption in Moscow, and said Bush wrongly viewed Russia and China as America's enemies instead of as "vital partners." Gore lashed out at supporters of the Taiwan Security Enhancement Act, legislation backed by Bush to establish closer military ties with Taiwan, saying they were "blind to its consequences: a sharp deterioration in the security of the Giuliani spokesman: Mayor still in race The latest health report showed that the mayor's cancer has not spread.

Charlie Gibson MAYFIELD, Ky. won't make a decision on cancer treatment or on the campaign for her 10 days to two weeks.

That will a take up important campaign and fund-raising time before the state Republican convention in Buffalo on May 30. Clinton stayed away from any reference to the mayor in a speech Sunday to a Catholic orga. nization of union electricians. She criticized the tax cut favored by GOP presidential candidate George W. Bush, but she left Giuliani whom she's bashed in the past on the tax issue out of her attack.

She also did not mention the mayor when she told the audience, "This election season, it is not enough just to compare what the candidates say, or who looks good at on TV, or who has the fastest response to the question, but instead to get below the surface and think very seriously, 'Are the policies going to help or hurt my family?" Clinton has been criticized for failing to comment immediately on news developments, while Giuliani is often more forthcoming with his opinions. Some political analysts predicted that the first lady would tone down her rhetoric against the mayor because it would be unseemly to attack him now that he has cancer. The New York Post in Sunday's editions released a poll that identified Gov. George Pataki as the "best choice" among Republicans to take on Clinton if Giuliani should drop out. U.S.

Rep. Rick Lazio, who put his Senate campaign on hold to make way for Giuliani, was a distant second. Graveside services for Charlie D. "Hoot" Gibson, 77, of Warren, formerly of Graves County, will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Rozzell Chapel Cemetery.
