Businessman Ross Perot spoke in a news conference to declare he would run for the presidency because the Republican and Democratic parties had not addressed the major problems facing the country. Accompanied by his vice presidential choice, James Stockdale, and members of his families, Mr. Perot vowed to dedicate his campaign to address the issues, including the deficit and the economy. His remarks came 11 weeks after he declared he would not run for president despite the volunteer efforts to put him on the ballot in all 50 states. In his remarks, Mr. Perot read letters he received from young people urging him to run. He also dedicated his campaign to U.S. military veterans for giving their lives for their country. Mr. Stockdale, a research fellow at Stanford University, also spoke to praise the values of Mr. Perot. close
