and nothing more than that"
"They promised everything to
everybody with one exception they
didn't promise to pay the bill”

"I happen to believe” Nixon con-
tinued "that their program would
be disastrous for America it would
wreck our economy it would dash
our people's high hopes for a bet-
ter lile"
Turning to foreign affairs Nixon
said that at the Democratic conven-
tion in Los Angeles "we heard
that American prestige is at an all-
time low"
"This is my answer" Nixori said
"I say that at a time the Com-
munists are running us down
abroad it is time to speak up for
America at home
"While it is dangerous to ace
nothing wrong In America it is
just as wrong to refuse to recog-
nize what is right about America"
