ELECTION *92 Bush aides hint at resignations SPRINGFIELD. Pa. (APJ — President Hush will ask for resignations from his Cabinet and other top administration officials if re-elected and would completely remake his economic team in u second term, aides said Monday. The announcements came as Bush sought new ways to invigorate a stalled campaign that ap peared to got little benefit from the leudoff presi dential deflate. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady, Budget Di rector Richard Damian and chief White House economist Michael Boskin would all be replaced for a second Bush, some senior administration and campaign officials said. "There will be a now economic team," said one senior official, speaking on the condition of ano nymity. The White House luter released a memorandum to nil federal Cabinet and agency heads from chief of staff James A Baker 111 telling all presidential appointees to prepare to submit letters of resigna tion "immediately following the election " Although Baker's memo does not include the possibility that Bush might lose, he told agency heads: "I know you agree with me that it has boon an extraordinary privilege to serve President Bush as u member of his team during this first term "1 trust you will agree with me that this proce dure will afford the president maximum flexibili ty in making the decisions necessary to stuff his second administration." Baker wrote to hundreds of appointees who are subject to Senate confirma tion. "That gives him the flexibility to pick new peo ple and obviously many of the people who are now in the administration will be asked to stay on." presidential spokesman Marlin I'lt/watcr said earlier. "Sounds like they've had a losing season and the coach wants to fire the team," Clinton said in Philadelphia. "In America, when you have u los ing season, the coach gels fired, not the team " Baker was expected to give a speech later this week on his new prospective job The day after the first deflate. Bush focused on economic themes. He said Democrat Bill Clinton's economic plan was "worse than Mondale, worse than Dukakis "We're part of a global economy," Busti said at a rally in this Philadelphia suburb. " Ibis is no time to hand the wheel to u novice." Latur, he campaigned in Holland, Mich. Speaking of Sunday's debate, Bush told his Pennsylvania audience: "I don't pretend to be an Oxford debater, but 1 think I did OK." Polls suggested that the first deflate did little to 7 don't want to name any names, but I think you can assume that when there's a new administration, there'll be a lot of change.' — Marlin Fitzwater, While House spokesman narrow the gup between Bush and (Minton, rang ing between 10 and IS points in most national polls. Robert Teeter, Bush's campaign chairman, ac knowledged that Bush's persistent trailing in tin polls by 10 points or more represented a major hurdle that would be difficult to surmount "What we've got to do in the next debates is really get a locus on the economic plan, lector said "We've got to sharpen that up Teeter conceded that many Americans remain unhappy with Bush's handling of the economy, saying, "u lot of voters feel he did not pay It a lot of uttention" over the past year. For that reason, administration and campaign officials said a new emphasis will be made in the campaign's closing days on the economy and Bush's economic proposals. Monday's focus on putting a new economic team in place was an effort to try something to gel Bush's campaign moving again "I don’t want to name any names but I think you can assume that when there's a new adminis tration. there'll be a lot of change." said presiden tial spokesman Marlin Fit/water Fit/wnter would not specify which members of the White House and Cabinet teams would re main hut suggested that "many of the people who are now in the administration will bo asked to stay on." Fitzwater said that one of the first things Baker would do In his new assignment would be to de velop legislation to submit to the new Congress to carry out the president's proposals for an at ross the-board tax cut and accompanying spending re ductions. Baker, if Bush is re-elected, "will help pul to gether a new team to implement tiie program," Fitzwater suid Fitzwater. asked about Bush's intention to ask for mass resignations upon re-election, said such a policy "gives him the flexibility to pick new people."
