Dole's Wife to Leave Job During Race

New York Times (10/31/95) P. A17
Holmes, Steven A.

Elizabeth H. Dole, wife of Senate Majority Leader Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.), said she intends to keep her job as American Red Cross president even if her husband becomes President of the United States. Dole was granted a one-year unpaid leave of absence on Sunday to travel with her husband during the Presidential campaign. As she stepped down, Dole said she wanted to devote more time to the race and that she was worried that her continued presence as Red Cross leader would entangle the agency in politics. Earlier this year, Dole voiced concerns about information the Red Cross was preparing for an AIDS education program. A special panel, created in response to her complaints, also concluded that the material did not sufficiently warn people about the risk of AIDS and that the illustrations were too sexually explicit. Still, Dole's critics argued that she was trying to tone down the content to help her husband appeal to more conservative voters --a charge which she denies. Related Story: Washington Post (10/31) P.
