Clinton starts process to pick his VP candidate

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) As he gets serious about picking a running mate, Bill Clinton says the opening threshold is simple: “Someone capable of being a good president if I should drop dead the day after I get inaugurated.” From there, however, it gets complicated. AS THE ARKANSAS governor and probable Democratic presidential nominee weighs his choice, he faces no shortage of names or advice not only on who to pick but how and when to do it

“You really define yourself and your values and your view of the presidency,” said John Sasso, a top adviser to 1988 Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis. “It says a lot about you how you make that selection and, even more importantly, who you select.” Clinton is expected later this week to outline a search process in which he will rely on senior campaign aides and likely tap a prominent Democrat from outside his official campaign hierarchy to oversee the process. HE RARELY brings tip the subject in large meetings, but Clinton has begun sounding out trusted aides, asking, for example, that they name the senators or governors they view as most qualified to be president Some polling likely will be done later as the choice is narrowed, the aides say. For now, Clinton is trying to steer clear of the name game, although when visiting certain states he has talked up the attributes of popular politicians Rep. Lee Hamilton of Indiana and Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, for example. But he has been more and more open in discussing his criteria, including a detailed response to a question over the weekend at a California event. THERE, CLINTON said he wanted a running mate who “does not agree with me on everything ... but someone who understands what happened in the United States in the 1980 s.” Also, “someone who will complement me, someone of knowledge or experience or ability different from mine but who could work well in a team.” As Clinton searches, party strategists, many of whom have a favorite, are sizing up Clinton’s

Bayh’s hiring of private attorneys expected to be a campaign issue

GOV. BILL CLINTON Won’t play name game strengths and weaknesses and offering their idea of the perfect political match. MENTIONED MOST is New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, who would bring regional balance to the ticket and shares Clinton’s theme of promoting racial unity. But Bradley has repeatedly said he’s not interested, and Clinton aides, although they do not rule out feelers, say they take the senator at his word. After Bradley, names mentioned as possible picks include Hamilton, Rockefeller and Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. OTHERS MENTIONED are House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri, Sens. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Paul Simon of Illinois, Bob Graham of Florida, Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York and Tom Harkin of lowa. Also, Govs. Roy Romer of Colorado and Ann Richards of Texas and former Gov. Bruce Babbitt of Arizona.

Could it be Hamilton?

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Vice President Dan Quayle might not be the only Hoosier running mate in the fall election. Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., is among the names being circulated to join Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton’s ticket. CLINTON WON’T speculate on who his choices might be, but he praised Hamilton last week at a campaign rally in Jeffersonville. After noting that he was in Hamilton’s district, Clinton said: “I want all of you to know something: I was in Washington last week ... and I asked three different people in Washington none of them from Indiana I said, ‘lf you had to pick one person in the House of Representatives and make him president of the United States, who would you pick?’ And all three of them said, ‘I pick Lee Hamilton of Indiana.’” Clinton, who has the Democratic nomination virtually sewn up, began evaluating potential vice presidential selections last week. Hamilton has denied that he is campaigning to be among those considered. “I AM GOING about my business. I have no grand strategy to get on the ticket or to get a position in the administration. That is not my style,” Hamilton said. Clinton supporters and Democratic consultants say Clinton needs a vice president who has impeccable character, can contrast with Quayle and has political, economic and international experience. Hamilton may fit that description. HE IS A former member of the House Intelligence Committee, a co-chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, former co-chairman of the select committee that investigated the Iran-

million lawsuit that could bankrupt the state and force a tax increase because you weren’t willing to spend SIOO,OOO or $200,000 to get the very best attorneys involved,” Bayh said. Pearson’s office has the legal responsibility to defend most state agencies. However, he has approved through inter-agency memos the hiring of private firms. WILLIAM E. DAILY, chief counsel for Pearson, refutes the suggestion that state attorneys are less than qualified as aggressive litigators. “It does not make me feel good to think that I can’t handle big cases now. I’m not less competent than I was four years ago,” Daily said. The debate may center on how much money has been paid to outside firms, and what if any political connections they have. “I THINK PEOPLE want to make sure that their tax dollars are spent appropriately,” said David A. Miller, chief counsel for Pearson. “We can do it cheaper than hiring outside counsel.” Jane Magnus, counsel to the governor, says there are four kinds of cases in which the governor and Pearson have agreed to hire outside attorneys: • Patronage lawsuits in which a former employee claims a firing was politically motivated. • Lawsuits that challenge significant state policies. • Lawsuits that have a poten-

REP. LEE HAMILTON Almost picked In 1988 Contra scandal and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs-sub-committee on Europe and the Middle East. Hamilton also was an early supporter of Clinton and helped prepare the candidate’s foreignpolicy speech last December. Jim Desler, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, said Hamilton’s chances of being on the ticket are greater than Quayle’s were four years ago at this point in an election year. “HAMILTON’S name comes up because he is eminently qualified. He has respect both in Washington and back in the district,” Desler said. Hamilton was uniter consideration four years ago as a running mate for Michael Dukakis. The Massachusetts governor chose Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas to add regional balance. Timothy J. Russert, Washington bureau chief for NBC, said Hamilton is a likely candidate because Clinton needs someone with experience, integrity and national exposure.

tially damaging fiscal impact • Lawsuits in which the attorney general cannot defend state government because of a conflict. Democrats like to point out that Pearson lost the first challenge to Indiana’s out-of-state trash law. Even the Republican judge in that case, John D. Tinder, criticized Pearson’s staff attorneys and their handling of the defense in federal court. THE STATE WAS successful in the second trash case after legislators amended the law so it would pass constitutional muster. David E Hamilton, formerly the governor’s counsel, defended the second lawsuit as a private attorney. Bayh has been criticized for hiring a private firm that lost a $l5O million case to Indiana nursing homes who claim they have been underpaid. The governor has promised to appeal. And other states are losing mul-timillion-dollar lawsuits across the country on the same issue. EVEN REPUBLICAN Gov. Robert D. Orr hired outside counsel when Pearson said he couldn’t defend the state’s intangibles tax. “We said it was unconstitutional. We said, ‘You can’t win this, guys,”’ Pearson said. The 6-year-old class-action lawsuit finally was settled in February. A judge approved a $lO million award from the state, about $7 million of which is to be divided among 102,000 Hoosier taxpayers.
