EX-SENATOR MAY MAKE BID FOR PRESIDENCY

Paul Tsongas, who quit the U.S. Senate seven years ago after learning he had cancer, said Thursday he's healthy now and ready to run for president next year.

The liberal Democrat said he would make a definite decision by the end of March about whether to make a presidential run.

Tsongas said his ideas - especially ideas about the economy - may be just what the Democrats need for a 1992 victory.

He said he supports a strong bond between government and business and legislation to limit and reduce the federal deficit.
