Colorful self-made billionaire H. Ross Perot dies at 89
By DAVID KOENIG
Associated Press
DALLAS — H. Ross
Perot, the colorful, self-made
Texas billionaire who rose
from a childhood of Depres-
sion-era poverty and twice
mounted outsider campaigns
for president, has died. He
was 89.
The cause of death was
leukemia, a family spokes-
man said Tuesday.
Perot, whose 19% of the
vote in 1992 stands among
the best showings by an inde-
pendent candidate in the past
century, died early Tuesday
at his home in Dallas sur-
rounded by his family, said
the spokesman, James Fuller.
As a boy in Texarkana,
Texas, Perot delivered news-
papers from the back of a
pony. He earned his bil-
lions in a more modern fash-
ion, however. After attend-
ing the U.S. Naval Academy
and becoming a salesman for
IBM, he went his own way —
creating and building Elec-
tronic Data Systems Corp.,
which helped other compa-
nies manage their computer
networks.
The most famous event
in his business career didn’t
involve sales and earnings,
however. In 1979, he financed
a private commando raid to
free two EDS employees who
were being held in a prison in
AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File

Ross Perot addresses the first California statewide conven-

the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles.
Iran. The tale was turned into
a book and a movie.
“I always thought of him
as stepping out of a Norman
Rockwell painting and liv-
ing the American dream,”
said Tom Luce, who was a
young lawyer when Perot
hired him to handle his busi-
ness and personal legal work.
“A newspaper boy, a midship-
man, shaking Dwight Eisen-
hower’s hand at his gradua-
tion, and he really built the
computer-services industry at
EDS.”
“He had the vision and the
tenacity to make it happen,”
Luce said. “He was a great
communicator. He never
employed a speechwriter —
he wrote all his own speeches.
He was a great storyteller.”
Perot first attracted atten-
tion beyond business cir-
cles by claiming that the U.S.
government left behind hun-
dreds of American soldiers
who were missing or impris-
oned at the end of the Viet-
nam War. Perot fanned the
issue at home and discussed
it privately with Vietnamese
officials in the 1980s, anger-
ing the Reagan administra-
tion, which was formally
negotiating with Vietnam’s
government.
Perot’s wealth, fame and
confident prescription for the
nation’s economic ills pro-
pelled his 1992 campaign
against President George
H.W. Bush and Democratic
challenger Bill Clinton. In
June of that year, a Gallup
poll showed Perot leading
his major-party rivals, but
he dropped out in July, then
rejoined the race less than five
weeks before the election.
Perot spent $63.5 million
of his own money, much of
it on 30-minute television
spots during which he used
charts and graphs to make
his points, summarizing
them with a line that became
a national catchphrase: “It’s
just that simple.”
His homespun quips were
a hallmark of his presidential
campaign. Other memora-
ble lines included his take on
negative campaigning (“let’s
get off mud wrestling”) and
on getting things done (“don’t
just sit here slow dancing for
four years”).
Some Republicans blamed
Perot for Bush’s loss to Clin-
ton, as Perot garnered the
largest percentage of votes for
a third-party candidate since
former President Theodore
Roosevelt’s 1912 bid.
Perot’s second campaign
four years later was far less
successful. He was shut out
of presidential debates when
organizers said he lacked
sufficient support. He got
just 8% of the vote, and the
Reform Party that he founded
and hoped to build into a
national political force began
to fall apart.
