Kelly confident as he makes bid f<strong>or</strong> u.s. Senate nomination<br />
By DavJd Howard<br />
Special Writer<br />
After 16 years in the MichIgan<br />
Legislature, John Kelly IS<br />
ready f<strong>or</strong> a change<br />
Rather than go down In hIst<strong>or</strong>y<br />
as a man who couldn't leg.<br />
Islate hIs ''Yay out of a state<br />
capi<strong>to</strong>l, state Sen Kelly IS mak.<br />
mg hIS thIrd run f<strong>or</strong> WBshmg<strong>to</strong>n,<br />
D C. - this tIme f<strong>or</strong> the<br />
US Senate.<br />
Kelly, 44, threw hIs hat m<strong>to</strong><br />
the rmg in two congressIOnal<br />
races, m 1980 and 1992, but<br />
he's especIally enthusIastIc<br />
about his chances thIS year<br />
WIth SIX maj<strong>or</strong> party candl.<br />
dates, Kelly said the WInner<br />
WIll only have had <strong>to</strong> appeal <strong>to</strong><br />
a small plurahty of voters.<br />
"ThIs IS hterally a race<br />
Whel'e virtually everyone<br />
counts," he said<br />
And he's convmced there's no<br />
better candIdate than himself.<br />
"I'm waglng a grass roots<br />
CampaIgn, I haven't left any<br />
k;:>k undone, and m terms of<br />
mternatlOnaI trade, f<strong>or</strong>eign relatIOns,<br />
mIlitary policy, and<br />
domestic priOrIties, and 16<br />
years of dealing Wlth these<br />
human social service and educational<br />
<strong>problem</strong>s, there Isn't<br />
anybody else that's qualified "<br />
But his campaign doesn't<br />
have the financial whereWIthal<br />
<strong>to</strong> allow hIm <strong>to</strong> rest on his laurels.<br />
"If you don't have money,<br />
you'd bettel make sure you hIt<br />
every little meetIng," he saId<br />
"I went <strong>to</strong> Tecumseh f<strong>or</strong> 12<br />
people."<br />
This is a crucial year f<strong>or</strong> the<br />
Democrats in Congress. There<br />
are 34 U.S. Senate seats up f<strong>or</strong><br />
grabs, 21 of them Democratic.<br />
"In an off-year election you<br />
can expect <strong>to</strong> lose two <strong>or</strong> three<br />
of those seats, Kelly said.<br />
If a Democrat doesn't win<br />
thIS seat and the Republicans<br />
do take the maj<strong>or</strong>ity, what<br />
you're guaranteeing of the Republicans<br />
is that they will be<br />
nothing but obstructionist."<br />
Especially on tile warpath,<br />
acc<strong>or</strong>ding <strong>to</strong> Kelly, are Rep.<br />
Newt Gingnch of Ge<strong>or</strong>gla and<br />
Sen Robert Dole of Kansas<br />
"Pingrich and Dole have decided<br />
that what they're going<br />
<strong>to</strong> do is try <strong>to</strong> block everything<br />
In the next year-and-8-half and<br />
use that as a basIS f<strong>or</strong> Clin<strong>to</strong>n's<br />
defeat m 1996," Kelly said.<br />
"So those are the two choices<br />
- either someone in the Democratic<br />
party who IS a voice of<br />
reason <strong>to</strong> the administration<br />
who starts telling them <strong>what's</strong><br />
going on out here in America,<br />
0t someone who by design f<strong>or</strong><br />
the next two years must do<br />
nothIng but obstruct and s<strong>to</strong>p<br />
Which is great f<strong>or</strong> their career<br />
but not very good f<strong>or</strong> the countIY."<br />
.Kelly, married f<strong>or</strong> 22 years<br />
WIth two daughters, said he'd<br />
fOCus his energIes as a juni<strong>or</strong><br />
senat<strong>or</strong> on cutting defense<br />
spending, a bureaucracy he<br />
f~els has long been "overbuilt<br />
and oversubsidized."<br />
;"The Cold War's over. F<strong>or</strong> 50<br />
years we spent tnllions of dolhirs<br />
on weapons systems. we've<br />
built Stealth bombers that can<br />
escape radar systems that don't<br />
exist. And the president had<br />
buckled on continuation of the<br />
TrIdent submarine program f<strong>or</strong><br />
another two years, <strong>to</strong> assuage<br />
the people of Gro<strong>to</strong>n, Conn,<br />
(where the submarme IS made)<br />
when we've got absolute supremacy<br />
of the seas There's no<br />
one <strong>to</strong> challenge that and<br />
there's no need f<strong>or</strong> that submarine,"<br />
he said<br />
"And the same thing's true<br />
in other advanced weapons systems.<br />
We're stIll committmg<br />
hundreds of bllhons of dollars<br />
In federal outlays f<strong>or</strong> a com<br />
mumty that is overbUIlt, has<br />
been oversubsldlZed and needs<br />
<strong>to</strong> be rapidly and severely<br />
downsIZed. If they want <strong>to</strong> keep<br />
the w<strong>or</strong>kers In ConnectIcut<br />
w<strong>or</strong>k 109 on shIps let's rebuild<br />
our merchant marme fleet<br />
That's something that's been<br />
viable and commercial and<br />
(can) get AmerIcans in<strong>to</strong> w<strong>or</strong>ld<br />
trade."<br />
He supp<strong>or</strong>ts, in general, Presldent<br />
Chn<strong>to</strong>n's subSIdy system<br />
But he saId he also supp<strong>or</strong>ts<br />
the General Agreement on Tariffs<br />
and Trade (GA'IT), III Vdlious<br />
stages of negotIatIOn smce<br />
the end of W<strong>or</strong>ld War IT, which<br />
narrowly defines goods and<br />
places them m various catego<br />
nes f<strong>or</strong> purposes of universal<br />
recogmtIOn and eliminates<br />
trade and mvestment barrIers<br />
w<strong>or</strong>ldwide.<br />
Kelly saId the natIOn's resources<br />
should s<strong>to</strong>p being allocated<br />
<strong>to</strong> those who don't need<br />
them.<br />
"We cannot subsJ(me our<br />
farming communIty," he said<br />
"When you look at the agricultural<br />
sect<strong>or</strong> and how it's defined,<br />
they're going <strong>to</strong> have <strong>to</strong><br />
do away with price supp<strong>or</strong>ts,<br />
and they're going <strong>to</strong> have <strong>to</strong> do<br />

SubSIdies the federal government's<br />

Kelly SaId<br />
He CIted as a maj<strong>or</strong> polItICal<br />
<strong>problem</strong> French farmers' dependence<br />
on government supp<strong>or</strong>t<br />
at a tIme when other European<br />
countrIes had phased out the<br />
practlce<br />
"They're phased out over a<br />
couple of years and they're<br />
done. And that's the way it<br />
should be anyway. American<br />
agricultural productiVIty's so<br />
hIgh, and remams high, and<br />
there's a w<strong>or</strong>ld market f<strong>or</strong> it<br />
and we will be a primary benefiCIary<br />
under GATT. So the<br />
subSidies they're going <strong>to</strong> get<br />
are gomg <strong>to</strong> come from the<br />
marketplace rather than the<br />
taxpayer," Kelly said<br />
lIe wants <strong>to</strong> "bnng some<br />

lags behmd other natIOns, such<br />
as Germany and Japan, in exp<strong>or</strong>t<br />
development. Not only are<br />
these countrIes bestmg the<br />
Untted States m the amount of<br />
theIr gross national product<br />
(GNP) they exp<strong>or</strong>t, they know<br />
better how <strong>to</strong> target those exp<strong>or</strong>ts<br />
"What we should be doing is<br />
ldentIfymg successful small and<br />
medIUm businesses, because<br />
those are the principal Job creat<strong>or</strong>s,<br />
and through a cooperatIve<br />
federal and state program, say<br />
'who are the people who are<br />
successes m the marketplace?'''<br />
he said<br />
"Let's find out who needs <strong>to</strong><br />
get m<strong>to</strong> the stream of commerce,<br />
whether they're making<br />
broom handles <strong>or</strong> au<strong>to</strong>motive<br />
parts, and proVIde them Wlth<br />
the encouragement and provide<br />
them WIth the services <strong>to</strong> get<br />
our products out m<strong>to</strong> thIS w<strong>or</strong>ld<br />

ated"<br />
"You don't need <strong>to</strong> do It f<strong>or</strong><br />
3M; they've got offices w<strong>or</strong>ld<br />
wIde"<br />
He saId most smaller busl<br />
ness owners may not know that<br />
there are markets f<strong>or</strong> theIr<br />
goods and servIceS all over the<br />
w<strong>or</strong>ld.<br />
IdentIfymg and gettmg products<br />
<strong>to</strong> these markets, he saId,<br />
would aceomphsh two thmgs<br />
prOVIde stable, long-term employment<br />
and bnng down the<br />
per-umt costs of the goods they<br />
sell domestICally<br />
Kelly would also review the<br />
SOCIal SecurIty proviSIOns<br />
whIch allow the federal government<br />
<strong>to</strong> extncate Itself from<br />
any responsIbIlity f<strong>or</strong> dIsabled<br />
mdlvlduals and others who've<br />
tradItionally been consIdered<br />
unable <strong>to</strong> contnbute <strong>to</strong> society.<br />
He saId It's unacceptable<br />
that money IS arbItrarIly and<br />
indifferently dIsbursed <strong>to</strong> such<br />
people, with no attentIOn paId'<br />
<strong>to</strong> theIr unique and valuable<br />
aptitudes<br />
"It doesn't mean that we<br />
can't do Subsllbzmg m terms of<br />
Income; It doesn't mean that<br />
we can't help In proVldmg education<br />
<strong>or</strong> remedial servIceS. But<br />
everybody has a place at the<br />
table," Kelly said.<br />
"Vv"nen you look at people<br />
with handicaps. regardless of<br />
whether they're emotional<br />
handicaps <strong>or</strong> physical handicaps,<br />
those individuals want <strong>to</strong><br />
be an active part of SOCIety.<br />
And we should not cash people<br />
9A<br />
out and say we no longer have<br />
a responslblltty f<strong>or</strong> you"<br />
"I'd <strong>to</strong>tally revIew that. And<br />
the review would not be a Ronald<br />
Reagan-style review. All he<br />
dId was cut the checks off and<br />
say you're on your own "<br />
Kelly WIll face fellow Democrats<br />
Carl Marlinga, Bob Carr,<br />
Joel Ferguson, Lana Pollack<br />
and Wilham Brodhead in the<br />
Aug 2 prImary, a field from<br />
whIch he saId he dlstmguishes<br />
hImself by beIng an mdependent<br />
Democrat.<br />
"Very mdependent Democrat<br />
Always have been, always<br />
wIll be," he said<br />
"I've never let the dommant<br />
mterests III the DemocratIc<br />
party dIctate my course of actIOn<br />
I'm not gomg <strong>to</strong> roll over<br />
because the preSIdent of the<br />
Umted States calls And I'm<br />
certaInly not gomg <strong>to</strong> flInch because<br />
Bob Dole wants <strong>to</strong> put<br />
me m a partisan box. Neither<br />
one of those is gomg <strong>to</strong> happen"<br />
What IS going <strong>to</strong> happen,<br />
Kelly saId, IS that he will be<br />
prepared <strong>to</strong> respect the differences<br />
of opInion that invariably<br />
turn the politIcal process m<strong>to</strong> a<br />
prolonged, arduous give-and<br />
take.<br />
"What I dIscovered after<br />
w<strong>or</strong>kin~ with people f<strong>or</strong> 16<br />
years is that every single one of<br />
those people commg from their<br />
districts had a dIfferent point of<br />
view I had <strong>to</strong> understand that<br />
poInt of VIew, <strong>to</strong> find out what<br />
the common linkages were,"<br />
