For the Record

■ If Christine Whitman ever does become governor of New Jersey, she plans to name as treasurer Robert Grady, deputy of Bush OMB Director Richard Darman and proponent of, among other things, Clean Air Act. One wit observed, “Now there’s a reason to have her victory overturned.” . . . Before Ed Rollins began talking about “walking-around money,” Jack Kemp had signed him up to help with 1996 presidential bid, and conservative New Jersey Assembly leader Chuck Haytaian planned to have Rollins run his challenge to two-term Sen. Frank Lautenberg. Both Kemp and Haytaian have dropped him—for now. . . . Liberal Pennsylvania Republicans (led by Sen. Arlen Specter) are dismayed Teresa Heinz, widow of Sen. John Heinz, says she’ll not run next year against Democrat Harris Wofford, who was appointed in 1991 to fill seat after Heinz’s death. Decision bolsters chances of conservative Rep. Rick Santorum. . . . Former Michigan Gov. George Romney has a former daughter-in-law (Ronna Romney) running for Senate in Michigan and a son (Mitt) running for Senate in Massachusetts. Both are in tough primaries: she is up against former NRCC chairman Spencer Abraham; he is up against a growing crowd hoping to take a shot at Sen. Edward Kennedy, whose approval rating is around 40 per cent. Among Kennedy challengers: radio personality Janet Jeghelian and conservative Mary Ann Glendon (as Matthew Scully reports on p. 22). . . . Conservatives are lining up to challenge New York Gov. Mario Cuomo next year. Statewide John Zogby poll found 56 per cent of New Yorkers don’t want Cuomo re-elected; 36 per cent do. Herb London—1990 Conservative Party candidate, who nearly outpaced Republican. Pierre Rinfret—topped GOP field in poll match-ups: Cuomo 41, London 37. Others in race are former State Republican Chairman Pat Barrett, former ambassador to France Evan Galbraith, and State Sen. George Pataki (Sen. Al D’Amato’s choice). No one, meanwhile, is on horizon to challenge three-term Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, also up for re-election in 1994. … In New York City’s vote to impose term limits (ballot initiative pushed by conservative Ronald Lauder), strongest support came from Hispanics and blacks: some 83 per cent of Hispanics and 70 per cent of blacks favored eight-year limit.

■ Dan Quayle was quoted after debate on NAFTA: I would not have believed you “if you’d told me within one year of losing the election I’d be sitting in my living room rooting for Al Gore.” . . . Harold Ickes—under consideration as White House deputy chief of staff in February until news reports revealed involvement with mob-controlled unions—is talked about as chief salesman for health plan. . . . In February address to Joint Session of Congress, Bill Clinton said he planned to use numbers from Congressional Budget Office rather than Office of Management and Budget: CBO is “closer to right.” However, when Al Gore was asked recently about OMB estimate that $9 billion could be saved through his proposal, while CBO estimates $305 million, Veep said: “People have long acknowledged that the so-called scoring rules used by [CBO] don’t reflect reality.” . . . Barry Goldwater sent some of his favorite chili mix to Hillary Clinton (a “Goldwater Girl,” he called her) for her recent birthday. . . . Politics of greeting cards: It seems that since Donald Hall, president of Hallmark, was friends with George Bush, the Clintons have decided to go with American Greetings, company who supplied cards for Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter.
