If President Bush wins the general election, he must incorporate economic reform into his litany of domestic issues.

"The president knows that America is concerned with the economy," said Matt DeCamara, presidential assistant in the National Headquarters for the Bush/Quayle '92 re-election committee. "It is the main focus of his reforms."

Bush plans to get the nation out of its recession with both a short-term and long-term agenda, DeCamara said.

Bush has suggested executive actions, including withholding adjustments, regulatory relief, spending acceleration and monetary policy.

Investment incentives including capital gains, 15 percent investment tax allowance and modified alternative minimum tax have also been suggested by Bush.

Other investments include $5,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers, modified passive loss rule, penalty-free IRA withdrawal and loss reduction for personal residences.

"The president's long-term agenda outlines nine steps designed to guarantee that America continues to lead the world of the future," DeCamara said.

These steps focus on developing trade, reforming and investing in education, investing in the future, fighting crime, expanding opportunities for individuals and families, creating comprehensive health-care reform, bringing the deficit under control, enacting bold reform proposals and strengthening American families.

Although Bush's campaign focuses on the state of the economy, he addresses several issues such as crime, health care, defense and family programs, DeCamara said.

Bush's proposed budget to fight crime will go to $15.8 billion for the 1993 fiscal year.

"These resources will address the criminal activity that continues to threaten the American family, the infrastructure and the security of neighborhoods and financial strength of America," DeCamara said.

Bush's health care plan aims to make basic health care insurance affordable with a $3,750 tax credit for low-income families.

"The comprehensive health plan will be a market-based reform that builds on strengths of our current system to provide access to affordable insurance for all Americans," DeCamara said.

Bush plans to cut defense by $50 billion in the next five years, he added.

Bush's family programs would allow families to deduct the interest on student loans, create a new commission on U.S. urban families and select waivers of federal regulation that inhibit state welfare reform.

"President Bush believes that to keep America strong in the future, we must strengthen the American family today," DeCamara said.
