Is there a better way?=20 "A weak pull-up is automatically enabled for RA3 when configured as MCLR and disabled when RA3 is an I/O. There is no software control of the MCLR pull-up." So if it was MCLR you could leave it floating, but since you have it configured as I/O(actually it can only be configured as input or MCLR, not an output), it has no pullup and you need to deal with it externally.
