He told the audi- ence, "I support a balanced budget, a woman's right to choose, campaign finance reform and additional police on the streets." When Mr. Pappageorge was asked what government pro- grams he considers dead weight and where he would make cuts, the candidate singled out the De- partment of Education and the Department of Energy. "I'd leave the programs that are doing their job, like Head Start," he said. Both Carl and Sander Levin were asked to explain their re- cent votes for the welfare reform bill, particularly the provision that cut assistance to legal im- migrants. Sen. Levin said he supported the measure because he felt it was time to place limits on cash benefits. He said the provisions for legal immigrants went too far, but that the welfare system need- ed reform. His brother said, "I voted for the bill because some of the wel- fare to work provisions were so strong. The original version of the bill had no provision for health care or means for helping states in a time of recession. We forced changes so AFDC [Aid to Fami- lies with Dependent Children] is sound. "As far as the provisions on le- gal immigrants, my brother, my- self and the president will go back and fix what's been done." Bingo, bears, casinos and veterans — they're all on the Nov. 5 ballot.

Ms. Romney's stance on the Middle East, he said, is that the United States' role shouldn't ex- tend much beyond doing what it can to bring both parties togeth- er. Kenneth Proctor, the Liber- tarian candidate, was asked about his party's connection with an anti-Semitic group. He said he was not familiar with any such ties. "Libertarians are the most gender-blind and ethnic-blind group there is," he said. Martin McLaughlin, a candi- date from the Socialist Equality Party, described his group as an alternative for "the working peo- ple who are not represented by the Democratic or Republican parties." Republican Rep. Joe Knollen- berg and his challengers, Demo- crat Dr. Morris Frumin and Libertarian Dick Gach, and De- mocratic Rep. Sander Levin and his Republican challenger, John Pappageorge, also fielded ques- tions. Mr. Knollenberg said he is pro- life, except in cases of rape or in- cest. He remains undecided on school prayer. "The problem is, it's not that big of a deal," he said. "Every time we hold session, we C?
