Clinton’s message also will apply to the controversy arising from Bush’s pri mary-season visit to Bob Jones Universi ty. Bush came under fire for failing to crit icize the university ’s racial policies and anti-Catholic statements on its Web site. At the time, the conservative Chris tian school banned interracial dating. Oklahoma Republican Rep. J.C. Watts, chairman of the House Republican Con ference, said he supports removing the flag from the Statehouse, but it remains a matter for South Carolina’s elected lead ers to decide. “All I ask for is consistency,” Watts, who is black, said Tuesday. “If you ’re go ing to ask Governor George Bush why he won’t get involved in South Carolina’s business, then ask [South Carolina] De mocratic Governor Jim Hodges why it still flies over the state capitol.” Hodges has called for the flag to be moved from the dome to a monument to Confederate general and former Gov. Whde Hampton on the Statehouse grounds. On ly the South Carolina Legislature can take the flag down. Bush says condoms not exempt from tax by Christopher Lee College Press Exchange Austin, Texas — Gov. George W. Bush has met a tax cut he doesn’t like. A new law that takes effect Saturday will allow Texans to buy condoms tax free. The tax break is part of a larger pack age, passed last year by the Legislature and signed by Bush, which exempts most over the-counter medicine from sales taxes. Consumers are expected to save as much as $160 million under the measure. The governor pushed for the tax breaks during his 1998 re-election campaign. But he said at the time that he didn’t want con doms included in the package. “Governor Bush never wanted con doms to be exempt from sales tax,” said Mike Jones, a Bush spokesman. “This pro vision was just one part of a larger pack age of tax cuts that are clearly good for the people of Texas.” According to Comptroller Carole Kee ton Rylander, the state’s chief tax collec tor, the new law says that any product clas sified under federal guidelines as a drug or medicine, or any product that prevents disease, must be included in the tax break. Condoms are on that list. “It’s not a matter of interpretation. It’s a matter of law,” Rylander said. ATTENTION .
