Dole, Buchanan To Visit Washington

Thu., March 21, 1996

From Staff And Wire Reports

Fresh from his nomination-clinching success in the Midwest, Sen. Bob Dole will stump in Washington state this weekend.

His never-say-die challenger, Pat Buchanan, also has a tentative date with backers here, just hours before the state primary polls open Tuesday.

Lance Henderson, former executive director of the state GOP and now Dole’s state campaign manager, said Dole will fly from Orange County, Calif., to Boeing Field. A campaign rally, free and open to the public, will be held at the airport or in Bellevue, probably at 5:30 p.m., he said.

Elizabeth Dole will be campaigning in Yakima earlier in the day and will join her husband in Seattle. The Doles will spend the night in Seattle and fly out the next day - on a Boeing 727, Henderson noted - for Kansas.

Buchanan tentatively plans to stump in Washington as an add-on to California. Vancouver, Seattle and Spokane all have been listed as possible venues, but details still were sketchy Wednesday. xxxx
