- Just when it seems that RICHARD DARMAN can't get any less
- popular in Washington, the White House budget chief goes ahead
- and very publicly renounces his privileged use of the
- chauffeured car that comes with the job. What's more, Darman is
- advising fellow Cabinet appointees to give up "portal to portal"
- service and restrict the use of motor pools in their agencies,
- or else his Office of Management and Budget will do it for them.
- Presidential aides agree that the push against perks is a smart
- move that will allow Bush to continue railing against
- congressional excesses. Says a senior campaign adviser:
- "Complimenting Darman makes me sick, but he is far ahead of
- everyone else on this issue."
