No Minority Platform Views, GOP Predicts

Leaders of the Republican platform committee predicted Sunday there will be no separate sections outlining minority views in the 1988 party platform, continuing a pattern established in the Reagan campaign years of 1980 and 1984.

Gov. Kay A. Orr of Nebraska, the chairwoman of the platform committee, and Sen. Bob Kasten of Wisconsin, a co-chairman, also said the committee’s final public hearings this week will likely encounter controversy on such issues as drug abuse, AIDS, rights of the handicapped and child care.
