[0:02] President Bush says politics will play

[0:04] no role in deciding future moves against

[0:07] Iraq while a UN team is poised in

[0:10] Baghdad for another weapons inspection

[0:12] attempt.

[0:15] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:18] tonight from the Houston Astrodome, the

[0:20] site of the 1992 Republican National

[0:23] Convention.

[0:26] Good evening, I'm Connie Chung. On the

[0:28] eve of the Republican convention, there

[0:30] is more bad re-election news for

[0:32] President Bush. The latest CBS News New

[0:34] York Times poll shows Mr. Bush hasn't

[0:37] been gaining much strength and that Bill

[0:39] Clinton hasn't been losing much. But

[0:41] getting most of the attention tonight is

[0:43] today's New York Times report that

[0:45] suggests Mr. Bush aims to provoke a

[0:47] showdown with Iraq as early as tomorrow

[0:49] for political reasons. Mr. Bush had an

[0:52] angry response. Joining us with this

[0:54] story is White House correspondent Susan

[0:56] Spencer on the floor of the Republican

[0:58] Convention. Susan

[0:59] >> Connie, as they gear up for what they

[1:01] hope will be a turning point in the Bush

[1:02] campaign, Republicans today were both

[1:04] puzzled and angry at those reports that

[1:07] the president might provoke Iraq

[1:09] tomorrow, partly for political gain.

[1:13] Mr. Bush denounced what he called a

[1:15] clear breach of security in the story

[1:17] and refused to confirm any of it. But in

[1:20] an apparent reference to Governor

[1:21] Clinton's lack of military service, he

[1:23] said he has been in combat and wouldn't

[1:26] send anyone for political reasons.

[1:29] >> The campaign and the convection have

[1:31] nothing to do with this. This is the

[1:33] national security interest of the United

[1:35] States. This is obligations to support

[1:38] the United Nations.

[1:40] >> But White House sources say that unlike

[1:41] the last time, there is now a plan in

[1:44] place. If Saddam calls the allies bluff

[1:46] again, the call will be answered quickly

[1:49] and decisively. In Houston, campaign

[1:51] officials too were outraged at any

[1:53] suggestion of political motive.

[1:56] >> It's preposterous.

[1:58] It's absolutely preposterous.

[2:00] >> And Defense Secretary Cheney denied the

[2:02] US could move unilaterally to inspect

[2:05] even if it wanted to.

[2:07] >> That's a totally facious notion. We have

[2:11] no control over when those inspections

[2:14] take place or what installations are

[2:15] taken. Those are all decisions that are

[2:17] made by the United Nations.

[2:18] >> But military action, however nobly

[2:21] motivated or coincidental, might in fact

[2:23] help the president's political fortunes.

[2:25] The new CBS News New York Times poll out

[2:28] tonight shows only 40% approve of Mr.

[2:30] Bush's handling of Iraq. Now 64% favor a

[2:34] military move to force compliance with

[2:36] the ceasefire. Republicans complain that

[2:39] Mr. Bush can't do anything this year

[2:41] that is not labeled political. But note

[2:43] that US action always has been with the

[2:46] allies.

[2:47] >> Regardless of what you might think or

[2:49] not think about the motivations of the

[2:50] Bush administration, it's inconceivable

[2:52] that there would be a United Nations

[2:54] plot to help reelect George Bush.

[2:56] >> What are you going to do? Give Saddam

[2:58] Hussein 85 days to do what he wants to

[3:00] do until after November? The answer is

[3:03] no. We'll do what we need to do. And

[3:05] what Republicans need to do at this

[3:06] convention is make sure that George

[3:08] Bush's campaign gets back on track.

[3:11] Directing air attacks on Saddam Husse

[3:13] Hussein from the Astrodome may seem

[3:15] improbable, but as the president likes

[3:17] to say, this is a weird year. Connie.

[3:19] >> All right. Thank you, Susan Spencer.

[3:21] Correspondent David Martin is at the

[3:23] Pentagon tonight. David, what can you

[3:24] tell us about what might happen

[3:26] tomorrow?

[3:27] >> Well, Connie, it depends entirely on

[3:29] what the inspectors do. Before they left

[3:32] for Iraq, the US gave them a list of

[3:34] places where the US thought Saddam

[3:37] Hussein was hiding things he's required

[3:39] to destroy. On that list was the Iraqi

[3:42] Defense Ministry. But so far, the team

[3:45] has not gone to the Defense Ministry.

[3:47] So, as long as they're still in Iraq, it

[3:49] is still possible uh that tomorrow or

[3:52] the next day they could demand to go see

[3:54] the defense ministry. But if that's the

[3:56] case, uh, the Secretary of Defense

[3:58] doesn't know about it because he said

[4:00] just a couple of hours ago he doesn't

[4:01] know where the inspectors are going to

[4:03] go next. Now, it's true that the

[4:06] Pentagon is upping its military

[4:08] preparedness in the Gulf. They have sent

[4:10] a senior Air Force general and a staff

[4:12] of 30 over there to take direct charge

[4:14] of the planning. But that has more to do

[4:16] with the fact that the US and its allies

[4:18] are getting ready to protect the Shiites

[4:20] in southern Iraq from attacks by the

[4:22] Iraqi army and air force. But obviously

[4:26] if there is a standoff at a ministry in

[4:28] Baghdad, the US and its allies are going

[4:30] to be ready to launch a strike on short

[4:32] notice. But it depends again on what

[4:34] those inspectors do and more importantly

[4:36] on what the Iraqi reaction is once the

[4:38] inspectors say they want to go

[4:40] someplace.

[4:41] >> Thank you, David Martin at the Pentagon.

[4:43] If a new showdown is only hours or days

[4:46] away, it was hard to tell from actions

[4:48] of the UN arms experts in Baghdad today.

[4:50] A possible US attack is only one of the

[4:52] problems facing Saddam Hussein. Tom

[4:55] Fenton in Baghdad has our report.

[4:58] >> The leader of the UN inspection team

[5:00] gave no hint tonight of whether he will

[5:02] attempt to enter a government ministry.

[5:04] >> Uh I would not disclose the operational

[5:06] details of my inspection.

[5:09] >> Smidvich said his meetings with the

[5:11] Iraqis are not over yet.

[5:12] >> We have a lot of questions to discuss

[5:14] with our Iraqi counterparts. While there

[5:17] are no outward signs here that Saddam

[5:19] Hussein faces a new confrontation with

[5:21] the UN, there are plenty of signs that

[5:23] he is facing severe problems at home.

[5:27] >> Saddam has given Iraqi farmers just two

[5:29] weeks to turn over their grain harvest

[5:31] to the government. Inspectors will check

[5:33] farms to prevent cheating. The emergency

[5:36] decree is an indication that the United

[5:38] Nations sanctions are biting deeply.

[5:43] This farmer complains he can no longer

[5:44] get fertilizer or animal feed. I have no

[5:48] more chickens, he says, and my crops are

[5:50] poor. Farmers are reluctant to sell

[5:52] their crops at government prices because

[5:55] the Iraqi currency is rapidly losing its

[5:57] value. Saddam Hussein hasn't spelled out

[6:00] the punishment for farmers who fail to

[6:02] carry out his orders, but it can be

[6:03] pretty dire in Iraq. Dozens of merchants

[6:06] have already been executed for so-called

[6:09] profitering.

[6:12] Saddam recently announced that the

[6:14] damage to the economy is so severe that

[6:16] there's a danger of serious unrest. It

[6:19] was a startling admission from a

[6:21] dictator who permits no opposition.

[6:24] Saddam personally launched a crusade

[6:26] Thursday against merchants he accuses of

[6:28] inflating prices. He threatens to

[6:30] execute more and to meet out the same

[6:33] summary justice to his ministers if they

[6:36] fail to stop the economy's rapid

[6:38] decline. Those Iraqis who heard foreign

[6:40] broadcast today now have another crisis

[6:43] to worry about and they have no way of

[6:45] knowing whether the bombing threat is

[6:47] real. Connie

[6:48] >> Tom, is a standoff imminent?

[6:52] >> One of the few signs we have tonight is

[6:54] that the leader of the UN team says he

[6:56] plans to leave still on Tuesday. That

[6:59] doesn't sound like a standoff is

[7:00] imminent, but you never know.

[7:02] >> All right, thank you Tom Fenton.

[7:05] Still ahead on tonight's CBS Evening

[7:06] News from Houston, more on the

[7:08] Republican convention and the

[7:10] re-election challenge facing President

[7:11] Bush and the battle for young voters.

[7:14] Are the Republicans changing their tune?

[7:18] >> Yeah, boy. We are

[7:24] >> Yeah,

[7:25] we are.

[7:29] >> Draw from the facts.

[7:32] There's a way to maintain regularity.

[7:35] without drugs.

[7:36] >> Reagan before that. Many of those former

[7:39] supporters have been have very few

[7:41] positive things to say about where the

[7:43] president might lead them were he to win

[7:46] again. Koki Roberts has been with one

[7:48] such family.

[7:51] >> Meet Mohamad and Gild deon. She's a

[7:53] lawyer. He owns rental properties in

[7:55] Houston. According to our latest CBS

[7:58] News New York Times poll, the Clinton

[8:00] Gore ticket has not lost its healthy

[8:02] lead since the Democratic convention.

[8:04] Here are the numbers. Bill Clinton 55%,

[8:07] George Bush 37%. And as Bruce Morton

[8:10] reports, Republican delegates are not

[8:12] blind to the road ahead.

[8:16] >> Convention delegates arrived today to

[8:18] official cheers and whistles, but you

[8:20] couldn't blame some of them for being

[8:22] worried. We've never been down this much

[8:25] and it causes concern for all of us, but

[8:27] we're hopeful. Hard work will do it.

[8:29] >> Have voters a favorable opinion of

[8:31] George Bush? No. Have they a favorable

[8:34] opinion of Bill Clinton? Yes. Those

[8:36] numbers haven't changed much in the last

[8:38] month either. Vice President Quail's

[8:40] unfavorable rating has actually gone up

[8:42] since July. Some more bad news. Nine

[8:45] voters in 10 think there ought to be

[8:47] real change in the country. 63% think

[8:50] Clinton would bring about such change.

[8:52] Only 15% think President Bush would and

[8:55] voters were evenly divided on whether

[8:57] they had a favorable opinion of the

[8:58] Republican party itself. Can the

[9:01] president turn it around?

[9:03] >> He's promised us that after the

[9:04] convention that everything will come

[9:06] out. So I I'm depending on him.

[9:09] >> The Astrodome is ready, full of fresh

[9:11] paint and the most balloons ever

[9:12] assembled in one place anywhere. The

[9:15] talking starts tomorrow and the platform

[9:16] with its tough anti-abortion plank will

[9:18] come up in the morning session. My party

[9:21] so far is sending the message to women,

[9:24] be quiet and go away.

[9:27] >> Abortion rights activists are still

[9:28] trying to get enough support to have a

[9:30] floor debate on the platform's abortion

[9:32] plant. Though Crisp said without lastm

[9:34] minute help from the president, that

[9:35] would be tough.

[9:36] >> But the ball is now in the President

[9:38] Bush's court. He can permit the

[9:40] Republican party, the party that freed

[9:42] the slaves, to become the party that

[9:45] would enslave women. Or he can exercise

[9:48] leadership to move the party back into

[9:50] the mainstream

[9:53] from the president is unlikely. Though

[9:55] what convention organizers want is a

[9:57] happy, unified convention whose

[9:59] delegates, inspired by President Bush's

[10:01] Thursday night's acceptance speech, come

[10:04] rocketing out of here determined to turn

[10:06] those poll numbers around. Connie,

[10:08] >> thank you, Bruce. The president's

[10:10] greatest fear is that traditional

[10:12] Republican loyalists who have elected

[10:13] their party's candidate for the past

[10:15] decade will fall off the bandwagon this

[10:18] year. Eric Gangberg has more on that.

[10:21] >> The Republican convention of 1988 gave

[10:24] the party's nominee a golden moment to

[10:26] define himself for American voters who

[10:28] didn't know him well. He hit a home run.

[10:31] >> My friends, I am that man.

[10:35] It was one of those times when the

[10:37] convention showcasing the party's plans

[10:39] and zest before a vast national audience

[10:42] launched the nominee toward victory. But

[10:44] there are minefields in these flag bed

[10:47] politically charged halls too. Ask Jimmy

[10:50] Carter who in 1980 had to endure a

[10:52] podium snub from Edward Kennedy that

[10:55] pointed the way to eventual defeat. Like

[10:58] Carter, the George Bush of 1992 has

[11:01] serious economic woes and a party whose

[11:03] factions are feuding. It has led some

[11:06] Democrats to hope that the mostly

[11:08] bluecollar Reagan Democrats who began

[11:10] their cross party migration in 1980

[11:12] might be ready to switch back.

[11:14] Underneath the uh this convention,

[11:17] there's an awful lot of tension and it's

[11:19] basically the fatigue and wear and tear

[11:21] of the Republican coalition. It's

[11:23] basically coming apart

[11:25] >> under that kind of siege. The acceptance

[11:27] speech here confronts George Bush with

[11:29] one of the big tests of a long political

[11:31] career.

[11:32] >> This is sort of a last chance, if you

[11:34] were will, for the president to say,

[11:36] "Look at me. Here's my vision of the

[11:38] future, and here's how we get from here

[11:40] to there." And the people, if they don't

[11:42] hear a satisfactory answer this time,

[11:44] they may not listen much to this

[11:46] campaign.

[11:48] While abortion is an obvious divisive

[11:50] issue, the Republicans today are more

[11:52] unified than the Democrats Jimmy Carter

[11:54] tried to lead in 1980. To get the

[11:57] election machinery humming again,

[11:58] experts agree that President Bush will

[12:01] have to do more than make a great

[12:02] speech. He will have to demonstrate that

[12:04] he is in control of everything that

[12:06] happens in this convention hall and that

[12:08] he can still generate the spark that

[12:11] will set the Republican armies and the

[12:13] precincts marching. Connie,

[12:15] >> Eric, we'll be back with more on the

[12:17] campaign and the rest of the day's news

[12:19] when the CBS Evening News from Houston

[12:21] continues.

[12:32] >> Suddenly, vitamins are all over the

[12:34] news,

[12:35] >> and two out of three adults don't get

[12:37] all that's recommended in their diets. H

[12:39] >> the conventions so well orchestrated now

[12:42] and they're not even used to select

[12:45] candidates anymore ideas why we the

[12:48] media and politicians still kind of go

[12:49] through this ritual.

[12:50] >> Well, they're not they're not nearly as

[12:52] suspenseful as they once were. But if

[12:54] you look at what is at stake here for

[12:56] George Bush and the Republican party, a

[12:58] chance to kind of stitch itself back

[13:00] together again to to to reintroduce

[13:02] George Bush to the American public and

[13:04] try to hammer out some kind of an

[13:05] economic plan that the country will find

[13:07] appealing and to share with this

[13:10] country, if we can believe the president

[13:12] in terms of what he says he's going to

[13:13] do, what his plan is for the next three

[13:16] months, then that's important business,

[13:18] it seems to me, for the Commonwealth.

[13:19] >> We've got protesters of every sort out

[13:21] there. You probably saw them coming in.

[13:23] Uh, does any of that have an impact on

[13:24] the president or the politicians or

[13:26] those who speak at these conventions?

[13:28] >> No, I don't think very much. I mean, I

[13:29] really, you know, it's it's part of the

[13:31] great American tradition is to have

[13:33] political gatherings.

[13:34] >> 60 Minutes we'll be talking about

[13:36] tonight.

[13:40] >> The CBS News New York Times poll we

[13:42] mentioned earlier finds that Americans

[13:44] are almost evenly divided over who can

[13:47] best uphold traditional family values.

[13:49] 37% say the Democrats, 36% say the

[13:52] Republicans. The But the poll also shows

[13:55] that Americans have very different ideas

[13:58] about what the family values debate is

[14:00] all about. That's the subject of

[14:02] tonight's Sunday cover, the feud over

[14:05] family values.

[14:08] something else that bothers me.

[14:10] >> The central issue of this election year

[14:14] should be who do you trust to fight for

[14:17] the ideas that will help rebuild our

[14:20] families and restore our fundamental

[14:22] values?

[14:26] After years of campaigning on family

[14:28] values, the Republican party plans to

[14:31] dramatically highlight them Wednesday

[14:32] night when Barbara Bush, surrounded by

[14:35] her family, breaks with political

[14:37] tradition and addresses the convention

[14:39] floor. But having the first lady speak,

[14:41] say some analysts, is the only thing new

[14:43] with the Republican agenda. For 25

[14:46] years, the Republicans have been trying

[14:47] to paint the Democrats as the party of

[14:49] perversion, the party of homosexuals,

[14:51] the party of women's liberation, the

[14:53] party of divorce. And uh they're going

[14:56] to trot it out one more time to see if

[14:57] it works.

[14:58] >> But this year, the Democrats are

[15:00] challenging the Republicans hold on the

[15:02] issue of family values with both images

[15:04] and rhetoric.

[15:05] >> I'm fed up with politicians in

[15:07] Washington lecturing the rest of us

[15:09] about family values.

[15:12] Our families have values, but our

[15:17] government doesn't.

[15:19] >> Hey, how you there?

[15:21] >> How we doing everybody?

[15:22] >> Good.

[15:23] >> And what do America's families think of

[15:25] all this? When the descendants of the

[15:27] Bach family of Pennsylvania gathered for

[15:29] their annual reunion last weekend and

[15:31] talked about family values, it was clear

[15:33] that while they feel family values are

[15:35] important, not everyone has the same

[15:37] idea of what those family values are.

[15:40] >> Moral standards and so forth of this

[15:42] country.

[15:42] >> Unity and love.

[15:44] >> It's a deficit. I mean, talk about

[15:45] family values. These kids are going to

[15:47] have to grow up with that.

[15:48] >> Not everyone agrees on who best

[15:50] represents family values either. I think

[15:52] Clinton speaks a little bit more for uh

[15:55] family values.

[15:56] >> The Clinton Gore ticket.

[15:58] >> I guess I disagree. I'm I think the Bush

[16:00] family has a lot more family values

[16:02] right now.

[16:03] >> Family values may already be a rallying

[16:05] cry in this year's elections, but

[16:07] there's growing debate over whether they

[16:09] really belong in the political arena.

[16:11] >> There isn't all that much that

[16:13] politicians can do. And I think that the

[16:16] public, if it looks at this clearly,

[16:18] should be offended by the uh by the

[16:20] efforts of politicians to try and

[16:22] exploit these kind of questions.

[16:24] >> And some of these families would agree.

[16:26] >> They're basically just kind of talking

[16:27] politics. Uh when you say family values

[16:30] and family issues, that's something that

[16:33] has to start in the family. Uh the

[16:34] government can't give that to us.

[16:36] >> And at the Bach family reunion, many

[16:38] agreed. Family values, they said, really

[16:41] boils down to the basics. jobs, money,

[16:44] education, health insurance. I think if

[16:47] the the government would just focus on

[16:49] addressing those issues, possibly the

[16:51] family could go on and heal themselves.

[16:54] >> One other finding from our CBS News

[16:56] poll, 23% of those pled say their

[16:59] family's financial situation is better

[17:01] than it was four years ago. 34% say it's

[17:04] worse and 42% say it's about the same.

[17:19] How could this happen? They've taken the

[17:21] secret.

[17:22] >> Europeans are upset. The kill

[17:24] >> food for famine victims landed today in

[17:26] Somalia on the Horn of Africa.

[17:28] Meanwhile, an advanced team of American

[17:30] soldiers headed today for

[17:31] >> British Marine. And

[17:32] >> David said, "I'll try."

[17:36] That that was the last thing he said.

[17:44] tonight ready to start their national

[17:46] convention and Houston is as ready for

[17:48] them as it's going to be. Here's Judy

[17:50] Mueller.

[17:52] >> You don't have to go to the Houston Zoo

[17:54] to see elephants this week. The GOP

[17:57] mascot is everywhere on lapels.

[17:59] >> Well, I think it speaks for itself.

[18:02] >> In hotel lobbies carved out of white

[18:04] chocolate. There are even topiary

[18:07] elephants outside the president's legal

[18:09] residence, the Houstonian Hotel, where

[18:11] the manager has been fielding some

[18:13] strange requests.

[18:14] >> See, a radio station in Los Angeles

[18:16] wanted to broadcast from the

[18:17] presidential street.

[18:19] That was that was pretty funny. Um,

[18:21] >> they didn't get to.

[18:23] >> No, they didn't get near there.

[18:25] >> But at least one guest managed to get

[18:27] in.

[18:28] >> We just walked in. We outside and the

[18:30] doors open and we just peering in and we

[18:32] said, "Could we go in?" She said, "Sure.

[18:34] Of course, not everyone in Houston

[18:37] really considers George Bush a neighbor.

[18:39] >> We do not consider him a Texan. I don't

[18:41] care who says he is. He is not. As far

[18:44] as I'm concerned, this is his vacation

[18:46] home. The vacation home he has up there

[18:49] is his real residence.

[18:51] >> And some Houstononians are less than

[18:53] thrilled about the convention.

[18:54] >> I'm tired of Republicans. They ain't

[18:57] made me no money. Give me the bore

[18:59] house. Well, I'd rather have the Astros

[19:02] myself uh in the Astrodome because uh I

[19:05] enjoy baseball a lot more than politics.

[19:08] >> Half of Houston Houston's freeways are

[19:10] under construction right now as it is,

[19:12] including those around the Astrodome

[19:13] where they're having the convention. So,

[19:15] it's uh it's not going to be a good

[19:17] place to be.

[19:18] >> The delegates who have to be here not

[19:20] only face monumental traffic jams, but

[19:22] also a monumental walk from the parking

[19:24] lot in the August heat. One consolation,

[19:26] if they do get caught in traffic, they

[19:28] can enjoy a Texas style political

[19:30] debate. The battle of the billboards

[19:34] on the road leading to the Astradome.

[19:36] Pro-choice signs vy for space with

[19:38] anti-abortion signs. The National Rifle

[19:41] Association is here, as are the

[19:42] Democrats. This sign only lasted a day,

[19:45] but there are other signs of enemy

[19:47] infiltration all over town. These

[19:49] curbside campaigners sold hundreds of

[19:51] bumper stickers in just a couple of

[19:53] hours. I thought we were going to get

[19:54] more cat calls than sales, but we're

[19:56] getting a lot of sales.

[19:59] >> Also doing a brisk business, Houston's

[20:01] infamous topless clubs. The men's club,

[20:03] for one, expects to see a lot of

[20:05] delegates unwinding after a long day of

[20:08] speeches on topics about things like

[20:10] family values.

[20:11] >> The double standard, the the good old

[20:12] boy kind of mentality. Um, however, it

[20:16] exists and we take advantage of it as

[20:18] much as possible. So, we're glad to have

[20:20] them here. More traditional tastes are

[20:22] served at Houston's barbecue joints

[20:24] where the smell of mosquite mingles with

[20:26] the sounds of country gospel.

[20:32] >> Blessed.

[20:34] >> And speaking of calling, we spotted

[20:36] controversial Bush campaign aid Mary

[20:38] Meline mixing business with barbecue.

[20:41] Republicans who get weary of waiting in

[20:43] lines and residents who get weary of

[20:45] politics might take in the play in a

[20:47] nearby park. Shakespeare's Much Ado

[20:50] About Nothing. Judy Mueller, ABC News,

[20:53] Houston.

[20:55] And we'll be back in a moment.

[20:59] >> How could this happen? They've taken the

[21:01] seat.

[21:01] >> Been registered.

[21:03] >> I don't really like uh Bush or Clinton.

[21:05] >> A lot of people also have a feeling of

[21:07] powerlessness that, you know, what's the

[21:09] point in me voting?

[21:10] >> I make a lot of bad choices and I think

[21:12] it's better if I don't vote. What we

[21:14] have to do is get them to connect the

[21:16] issues that they care about with the

[21:17] ballot box because they are politically

[21:19] active. They're just not voting.

[21:21] >> When I was your age and even

[21:23] >> Bill Clinton, who took questions on MTV

[21:25] and blew his sex on our hall, seems to

[21:28] have tapped in. Polls show he now has

[21:30] almost twice the support among young

[21:32] voters compared to the president. Now,

[21:34] Republicans are playing catch-up, trying

[21:36] to solidify their converts.

[21:40] We can soar with George Bush and Dan

[21:43] Quail into your new century.

[21:46] >> Bush and the Republican party look out

[21:48] for the future. They're stabilizing us,

[21:50] the young generation.

[21:52] >> But so far, the young generation is

[21:54] turning out a smaller crowd than the

[21:55] Republicans need to make a difference in

[21:58] November. James Hattorii, CBS News,
