Dems, GOP sign ADL's
campaign practices code
[-•
Washington (JTA) — The
chairmen of the Democratic
and Republican national
committees signed a "Code
of Fair Campaign Prac-
tices" pledging their parties
to "condemn any appeal to
prejudice based on race,
creed, national origin, gen-
der of sexual preference."
The code, developed by
the Anti-Demfamation
League of B'nai D'rith , as it
has done in previous
presidential election years
since the 1950s, was signed
in a ceremony at the B'nai
B'rith building.
"We hope that the very
act of the chairmen of our
two great parties solemnly
signing our code of fair
campaign practices will set
a civil tone of political de-
bate in the months ahead,"
Nathan Perlmutter, the
ADL direetor, declared. He
said the candidates also will
be asked to sign the code.
Charles Manatt, the
Democratic national char-
man, stressed that "there is
no place in politics for prej-
udice and unethical be-
havior."
Frank Fahrenopf, the Re-
publican national chair-
man, said the code should be
adhered to by those running
for Congress, state and local
offices, as well as president-
ial candidates. He said the
issues facing Americans on
all levels of government are
complex and candidates
should be judged "solely on
their ability' to solve these
problems.
Perlmutter stressed the
point that "campaign
rhetoric against one's oppo-
nent on the basis of race,
creed, national origin or
sex, is irrelevant to political
ideology; is irrelevant to
competency. Conversely,
appeals soliciting support
on the basis of race, creed,
national origin or sex are
likewise irrelevant." He
said the two appeals "are
flip sides of the same coin, a
bad-Tenny that depreciates
America."
The two party chairmen
agreed, although they ap-
peared to absolve the Rev.
Jesse Jackson of any charge
that he was basing his can-
didacy on his race. Manatt
said he understood the code
to be aimed at ridding the
country of prejudice.
But Perlmutter said that,
just as it was wrong in the
1950s to appeal in the south
on the grounds that a candi-
date was white, it is wrong
to appeal today on the basis
of a candidate being black.
"It is wrong because color is
irrelevant to competency,"
he said. He added that ap-
pealing to one group on the
basis of race "is a form of
Lebanizing America." But
he would not say if Jackson
was doing this.
At the same time,
Perlmutter said it was
,
legitimate for Jackson to
speak on civil rights to
black groups just as it was
legitimate for candidates to
speak to Jewish groups on
Jewish concerns or to dis-
cuss farm issues in Iowa and
labor in a Detroit auto
plant.
Manatt noted it was
"political reality for blacks
to be enthusiastic about a
black running for office, just
as women were enthusiastic
about women seeking
office."
The code pledges the
chairmen and the candi-
dates who sign it to "im-
mediately and publicly re-
pudiate support from any
individual or group which
resorts, on behalf of my can-
didacy or in oppositioh to
that of my opponent, to the
methods and tactics" con-
demned in the code.
