POTENTIAL 1996 RIVALS URGE GOP TO STRESS '94

Two Republicans considering running for the White House attended a New Hampshire GOP fund-raiser Sunday and urged party activists to work hard on the 1994 elections and worry about 1996 later.

"There better not be a Republican who talks about 1996 until we elect Republicans in 1994," South Carolina Gov. Carroll Campbell told the gathering of about 500 who paid $150 each to attend "A Salute to New Hampshire's Leaders."

Texas Sen. Phil Gramm said President Clinton and his administration are putting forth bad policies, and must be unseated.

"The good news is Bill Clinton is only going to have one term to do all those bad things and we can cut that term in half if we elect a Republican [Senate] majority in 1994," he said.

New Hampshire, site of the nation's first presidential primary, has since shortly after last fall's election played host to a number of Republicans rumored to be considering a White House run. Gramm has been the most frequent visitor; Campbell was making his first visit.

Campbell criticized Clinton's tax policy, health care plan and foreign policy, especially in Somalia. - Associated Press
