Bush Commerce nominee to inherit department that critics say is adrift from wire reports Washington a president Bush s Choice for Commerce Secretary Barbara h. Franklin will inherit an Agency diminished by its loss of Primacy Over International Trade and somewhat weakened by the management style of its Leader Robert a. Mosbacher. Mosbacher who will leave next month to head the presidents re election Campaign has played a limited role in inter Agency debates on issues like tax and health policy and International Trade. Unlike his combative predecessor Malcolm Baldrige he has spent much of his tenure jetting around the world on Trade missions with the nations corporate elite seeking to open new markets for american exports. The result Mosbacher a critics said has been an Agency adrift. A Small Crew of Veteran administrators continues to work Long hours on technical issues like weather forecasting the census and economic indicators. However the department loses policy debates with other agencies and watches from the sidelines while others determine the nation s health and tax policies. A the department needs to be much More Broad gauged and not just a chamber of Commerce a a top administration official said. But other government and corporate officials pointed out that Mosbacher has worked Well with businesses. And they defend his emphasis on exports in Light of the growing concern about the nation s economic competitiveness. Nominee Barbara h. Franklin a the biggest thing he did As i saw it was that he is someone american businessmen Trust a said Donald b. Marron chairman and chief executive of Paine Webber inc.

H. Smith publishers inc. A new York up while soaring state taxes have increased the Overall tax Burden of most americans president Bush has skilfully a and legally a paid almost no state levies Money Magazine said. George and Barbara Bush paid less than 1 percent of their 1990 adjusted Gross income in state taxes which can run As High As 12 percent in some states Money said. According to the Magazine the key to the Bushes Success lies in the location of their Homes. The first family has three re Dences the White House their vacation Home in Kennebunkport Maine and a rented hotel suite in Houston that thanks to Texas Law is considered their primary residence for voting purposes. Last year the Bushes had an adjusted Gross income of $452,732, which included salary plus investments. A District of Columbia resident with the same income would have owed $30,000 in d c. Income tax the Magazine said. If that taxpayer lived instead in Maine the stale Tab would have been $29,000. But because the Bushes primary residence is in Texas which levies no taxes on personal income or capital gains taxes the Bushes paid a 1990 state tax of just $3,596, or 0.8 percent of their adjusted Gross income Money reported. The president apparently has taken advantage of a number of loopholes and exemptions to lower the amount he Pavs in state taxes. Along with 6,100 other Federal officials Bush enjoys a special exemption from the District of Columbia s income tax. Tent of his involvement he said. Into this bureaucratic climate. Bush has nominated a person that has been described As Sawy. Driven and disciplined. Along those same lines she is also a physical fitness enthusiast who lifts weights swims and goes on Quot very vigorous outdoorsy vacations with her husband Wallace Barnes who Heads an aerospace manufacturing company in Connecticut. The couple lives both in Bristol conn., and Washington. To explain her discipline friends and associates talk about her work on the Bush campaigns Republican convention team in 1988, she would arrive every morning for staff meetings carrying a plastic bag filled with bran flakes and prunes. While her colleagues gorged on the daily spread of Sweet Rolls and Coffee she would pour skim milk into the hag and methodically eat her Cereal with a plastic spoon. Associates say Franklin one of the first women to graduate from the Harvard business school cares about helping women make it in the corporate world and has spent More than two decades working toward that end. She is a former adviser tit president Nixon Heads her own management consulting firm and is a major contributor to gop causes. Franklin s nomination requires Senate approval.
