Senator Faults Gore on Ethics Before Race Begins
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE

PHOENIX -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who took formal steps on Wednesday to run for president, wasted no time Friday in signaling that he would make Vice President Al Gore's fund-raising techniques a major part of his campaign.

McCain, speaking to a gathering of conservative activists here in his first appearance since filing papers on Wednesday to start a presidential exploratory committee, said that the vice president was a part of what McCain said were broad-based ethical lapses of the Clinton administration.

"Are you proud when monks and nuns abandon their vows of poverty and pay tens of thousands of dollars to have spiritual communion with the vice president?" McCain said, referring to a fund-raiser at a Buddhist temple that Gore attended.

"Are you proud of an administration that spends all of its time worrying about 'controlling legal authorities' but cannot abide a controlling ethical authority?" McCain added, referring to a phrase Gore used to deflect criticism of his fund raising.
