GILMORE PREPARES FOR 1997 ELECTION

Virginia Attorney General Jim Gilmore is making his first foray into the 1997 gubernatorial waters with a luminary-loaded GOP fund-raiser scheduled early next month.

On March 4 in Richmond, Gilmore supporters will throw a $100-a-ticket bash featuring U.S. Sen. John Warner, former Reagan budget director Jim Miller, former lieutenant governor candidate Mike Farris, unsuccessful U.S. Senate candidate Oliver North and most of the state's GOP congressional delegation.

The stated reason is to help Gilmore prepare to run for ``something'' in 1997. He is the presumed Republican gubernatorial candidate.
