    The Washington Post September 16, 1996, Monday No Place for Perot In the Debates David J. Garrow OP-ED; Pg. A19 LENGTH: 672 words The Commission on Presidential Debates is to decide soon whether Reform Party nominee Ross Perot and running mate Pat Choate will be included in the presidential and vice-presidential debates that are scheduled to begin next week. Commission members say their top criterion for inclusion is whether a ticket has a "realistic" chance of winning. By that standard as by others, there ought to be no debate: Neither Ross Perot nor Pat Choate is a realistic -- or even plausible -- president of the United States. Recent national opinion surveys show the Perot-Choate ticket drawing only 5 percent support -- a far cry from the 19 percent that Perot ended up with after his on-and-off campaign in 1992. What's more, monthly polls in crucial states where Perot and Choate's Buchanan-like message of economic protectionism ought to be popular show that Perot's support has been dropping like a stone. In Michigan, Perot's 19 percent backing in July fell to 10 percent in August and to just 4 percent in early September. Indeed, it's hard to envision any state where Perot-Choate could challenge Dole-Kemp or Clinton-Gore even for second place, and there may be some, like Alaska and California, where either Libertarian nominee Harry Browne or Green Party candidate Ralph Nader could outdo Perot for third place. Perot's only hope for a chance at increased voter support is the commission.

Office of die General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E. Street NW Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Executive Committee of the Reform Party of the United States as the National Committee of a Political Party Dear Mr. Marinelli, The Reform Party of the United States of America ("Reform Party, USA'*) requests an advisory opinion seeking Commission recognition of its Executive Committee as the national committee of a political party. It also requests the Commission recognize each state Reform Party as a state committee of a political party. The Reform Party, USA, can trace its origins to 1992 and the activities of most constituent state parties to a period beginning September, 1995, when in response to numerous long-standing requests from third-party advocates, efforts to establish a new national political party began. To this end, registration and petition drives and organizing efforts were conducted in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The resulting parties, together with philosophically aligned pre-existing state political parties, joined together with Reform Party members from across the country in Long Beach, California and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to nominate a presidential and vice-presidential candidate for the 1996 general election. During the same year, Reform Parties in thirteen states obtained ballot access for candidates for other federal offices. Following the 1996 election, in which the Reform Parties presidential and vice- presidential candidates obtained 8.4% of the popular vote, the Reform Parties agreed to conduct a national meeting to further the process of party development.

The Pew Research Center's final survey of 1,211 likely voters, taken October 31 through November 3, finds 49% supporting Clinton, 36% Dole, 8% Perot, 1% other candidates, with 6% undecided. When the undecided voters are allocated, the Center's best estimate of the probable outcome of the election is 52% for Clinton, 38% for Dole, 9% for Perot, and 1% for other candidates.

He strolls through the crowd of sev- eral hundred men and women in business suits settling into their chairs in the stately East Room. Rubin, the ex-cochair of the investment firm Goldman Sachs, is chief of Bill Clinton’s Economic Security Council— and soon toCOPYRIGHTED become his secretary of the treasury.
