WASHINGTON - Black lawmakers from key battleground states told John Kerry (news - web sites)'s top aides Thursday that he must follow Bill Clinton (news - web sites)'s lead and give blacks a reason to vote for him rather than just against President Bush (news - web sites).

Participants in the 90-minute strategy session said it was designed to hammer out some specifics stemming from the Democratic presidential candidate's commitment two months ago to regularly seek advice from the Congressional Black Caucus (news - web sites).

Campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill and chief communications strategist Bob Shrum agreed to visit with them weekly, at least by phone, and Kerry himself expects to participate about every two weeks. The campaign also announced the hiring of Broderick Johnson, a former vice president of congressional relations for AT&T Corp., who will become Kerry's congressional liaison.
