CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
THE 1964 A41` ORM OF REPUBLI-
CAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent to have printed in
the RECORD the platform adopted at the
Republican National Convention in San
Francisco last week.
There being nq objection, the platform
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
"POP. THE PEOPLE"-REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,
1964, PRESENTED TO THE REPUBLICAN NA-
TIONAL -CONVENTION, JULY 14, 1964, SAN
FRANCISCO, CALIF.
SECTION 1
For a free people
Humanity is tormented once again by an
age-old issue=is man to live in dignity and
freedom under God or be enslaved-are men
in government to serve, or are they to master,
their fellow men?
It befalls us now to resolve this issue
anew-perhaps this time for centuries to
come. Nor can we evade the. issue here at
home. Even in this Constitutional Republic,
for 2 centuries the beacon of liberty the
world over, individual freedom retreats under
the mounting assault of expanding central-
ized power. Fiscal and economic excesses,
too long indulged, already have eroded and
threatened the greatest experiment in self-
government mankind has known.
We Republicans claim no monopoly of love
of freedom. But we challenge as unwise the
course the Democrats have charted; we chal-
lenge as dangerous the steps they plan along
the way; and we deplore as self-defeating
and harmful many of the moves already
taken.
Dominant in their council are leaders
whose words extol human liberty, but whose
deeds have persistently delimited the scope
of liberty and sapped its vitaliy. Year after
year, in the name of benevolence, these
leaders have sought the enlargement of Fed-
eral power. Year after year, in the guise of
concern for others, they have lavishly ex-
pended the resources of their fellow citizens.
And year after year freedom, diversity and
individual, local and State responsibility
have given way to regimentation, conformity,
and subservience to central power.
We Republicans hold that a leadership so
misguided weakens liberty in America and
the world. We hold that the glittering en-
ticements so invitingly proffered the people,
at their own expense, will inevitably bring
disillusionment and cruel disappointment in
place of promised happiness.
Such leaders are Federal extremists-im-
pulsive in the use of national power, im-
provident in the management of public
funds, thoughtless as to the long-term effects
of their acts on individual freedom and crea-
tive, competitive enterprise. Men so reck-
lessly disposed cannot be safely entrusted
with authority over their fellow citizens.
To Republicans, liberty is still today man's
most precious possession. For every citizen,
and for the generations to come, we Repub-
licans vow that it shall be preserved.
In substantiation of this belief the Repub-
lican Party submits this platform. To the
American people it is our solemn bond.
To stay free
The shape of the future is our paramount
concern. Much of today's moral decline
and drift-much of the prevailing preoc-
cupation with physical and material com-
forts of life-much of today's crass political
appeals to the appetites of the citizenry-
can be traced to a leadership grown dema-
gogic and materialistic through indifference
to national ideals founded in devoutly held
religious faith. The Republican Party seeks
not to renounce this heritage of faith and
high purpose; rather, we are determined to
reaffirm and reapply it. So doing, these will
be our guides:
1. Every person has the right to govern
himself, to fix his own goals, and to make
his own way with a minimum of govern-
mental interference.
2. It is for Government to foster and main-
tain an environment of freedom encouraging
every individual to develop to the fullest his
God-given powers of mind, heart, and body;
and, beyond this, Government should un-
dertake only needful things, rightly of pub-
lic concern, which the citizen cannot him-
self accomplish.
We Republicans hold that these two prin-
ciples must regain their primacy in our
Government's relations, not only with the
American people, but also with nations and
peoples everywhere in the world.
3. Within our Republic the Federal Gov-
ernment should act only in areas where it
has constitutional authority to act, and
then only in respect to proven needs where
individuals and local or State governments
will not or cannot adequately perform.
Great power, whether governmental or pri-
vate, political or economic, must be so
checked, balanced, and restrained and, where
necessary, so dispersed as to prevent it from
becoming a threat to freedom any place
in the land.
4. It is a high mission of Government to
help assure equal opportunity for all, af-
fording every citizen an equal chance at the
starting line but never determining who
is to win or lose. But Government must
also reflect the Nation's compassionate con-
cern for those who are unable, through no
fault of their own, to provide adequately for
themselves.
ii. Government must be restrained in its
demands upon and its use of the resources
of the people. remembering that it is not the
creator but the steward of the wealth it
uses; that its goals must ever discipline its
means; and that service to all the people,
never to selfish or partisan ends, must be the
abiding purpose of men entrusted with pub-
lic power.
Deeds not words
The future we pledge, then, for freedom,
by faithful adherence to these guides. Let
the people compare these guides with those
of the Democratic Party, then test, not the
words of the two parties, but their perform-
ance during the past 4 years of Democratic
control.
Let the people ask:
Is the Republic stronger today or wiser
than when the present administration took
office 4 years ago?
Is its guardianship of freedom more re-
spected at home and throughout the world?
For these 4 years the leaders of the Demo-
cratic Party have been entrusted with the
Nation's executive power and overwhelmingly
in control of the Congress. The question
must be asked: Have these leaders success-
fully advanced the purposes of this mighti-
est nation mankind has known?
Tragically, in each instance, the answer
must be "No."
Let the Democratic Party stand accused.
SECTION 2
Failures of foreign policy
This Democratic administration has been,
from its beginning, not the master but the
prisoner of major events. The will and de-
pendability of its leadership, even for the
defense of the free world; have come to be
questioned in every area of the globe.
Disregard of Allies
This administration has neglected to con-
sult with America's allies on critical matters
at critical times, leading to lack of confi-
dence, lack of respect, and disintegrating
alliances.
It has permitted an erosion of NATO force
and unity, alienating most of its member
16023
nations by negotiating with the common foe
behind their backs. It has offered conces-
sions to the Communists while according
our allies little understanding, patience, or
cooperation.
This administration has created discord
and distrust by failing to develop a nuclear
policy for NATO.
It has provoked crises of confidence with
our oldest friends, including England and
France, by bungling such major projects as
Skybolt and NATO's nuclear needs.
It has allowed other great alliances-
SEATO and LENTO-also to deteriorate, by
failing to provide the leadership required
for their revitalization and by neglecting
their cooperation in keeping the peace.
Weakness Before Communism
This administration has sought accom-
modations with communism without ade-
quate safeguards and compensating gains
for freedom. It has alienated proven allies
by opening a "hot line" first with a sworn
enemy rather than with a proven friend, and
in general pursued a risky path such as began
at Munich a quarter century ago.
It has misled the American people and
forfeited a priceless opportunity to win con-
cessions for freedom by mishandling sales of
farm commodities to Communists. At first
it disavowed any intent to subsidize prices or
use credit; later it demanded such authority
and forced the Democrats in Congress to
acquiesce. At first it hinted at concessions
for freedom in return for wheat sold to Rus-
sia; later it obtained no concessions at all.
At first it pledged not to breach restraints on
trade with Communist countries in other
parts of the world; later it stimulated such
trade itself, and thus it encouraged trade
with Cuba by America's oldest friends.
This administration has collaborated with
Indonesian imperialism by helping it to
acquire territory belonging to the Nether-
lands and control over the Papuan people.
It has abetted further Communist takeover
in Laos, weakly accepted Communist viola-
tions of the Geneva Agreement, which the
present administration perpetrated, and in-
creased Soviet influence in southeast Asia.
It has encouraged an increase of aggression
in South Vietnam by appearing to set limits
on America's willingness to act-and then, in
the deepening struggle, it has sacrificed the
lives of American and allied fighting men by
denial of modern equipment.
The administration has permitted the
shooting down of American pilots, the mis-
treatment of American citizens, and the de-
struction of American property to become
hallmarks of Communist arrogance.
It has stood by as a wire barricade in Berlin
became a wall of shame, defacing that great
city, humiliating every American, and dis-
gracing freemen everywhere.
It has turned its back on the captive peo-
ples of Eastern Europe, abandoning their
cause in the United Nations and in the offi-
cial utterances of our Government.
This administration has forever blackened
our Nation's honor at the Bay of Pigs, bung-
ling the invasion plan and leaving brave
men on Cuban beaches to be shot down.
Later the forsaken survivors were ransomed,
and communism was allowed to march deeper
into Latin America.
It has turned a deaf ear to pleas from
throughout the Western Hemisphere for de-
cisive American leadership to seal off sub-
version from the Soviet base just off our
shore.
It has increased the long-term troubles
for America by retreating from its pledge to
obtain on-the-spot proof of the withdrawal
of Soviet offensive weapons from Cuba.
It left vacant for many critical months
the high posts of Ambassador in Panama
and with the Organization of American
States, and thus it failed to anticipate and

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE July 22
forestall the anti-American violence that
burst forth in Panama,
Undermining the United Nations
This administration has failed to pro-
vide forceful, effective leadership in the
United Nations.
It has weakened the power and influence
of this world organization by failing to de-
mand basic improvements in its procedures
to guard against its becoming merely a forum
of anti-Western insult and abuse.
It has refused to insist upon enforcement
of the United Nations rules governing finan-
cial support though such enforcement is sup-
ported by an advisory opinion of the Inter-
national Court of Justice.
It has shouldered virtually the full costs
of the United Nations occupation of the
Congo, only to have the ousted leadership
asked back when United Nations forces had
withdrawn.
Forsaking America's Interests
This administration has subsidized various
forms of socialism throughout the world, to
the jeopardy of individual freedom and pri-
vate enterprise.
It has proved itself Inept and weak in
international trade negotiations, allowing the
loss of opportunities historically open to
American enterprise and bargaining away
markets indispensable to prosperity on Amer-
ican farms.
Failure of national security planning
Losing a Critical Lead
This administration has delayed research
and development in advanced weapons sys-
tems and thus confronted the American
people with a fearsome possibility that So-
viet advances, in the decade of the 1970's,
may surpass America's present lead. Its mis-
use of "cost effectiveness" has stifled the
creativity of the Nation's military, scientific,
and industrial communities.
It has failed to originate a single new
major strategic weapons system after in-
heriting from a Republican administration
the most powerful military force of all time.
It has concealed a - lack of qualitative ad-
vance for the 1970's by speaking of a quanti-
tative strength which by then will be ob-
solete. It has not demonstrated the fore-
sight necessary to prepare a strategic
strength which in future years will deter
war. - -
I has endangered security by downgrading
efforts to prepare defenses against enemy
ballistic missiles. It has retarded our own
military development for near and outer
space, while the enemy's development moves
on.
Invitations to Disaster
This administration has adopted policies
which will lead to a potentially fatal parity
of power with communism instead of con-
tinued military superiority for the United
States.
It has permitted disarmament negotia-
tions to proceed without adequate consid-
eration of military judgment-a procedure
which tends to bring about, in effect, a uni-
lateral curtailment of American arms ren-
dered the more dangerous by the admintstra-
tion's discounting known Soviet advances in
nuclear weaponry.
It has failed to take minimum safeguards
against possible consequences of the limited
nuclear test ban treaty, including advanced
underground tests where permissible and
full readiness to test elsewhere should the
need arise.
Distortions and Blackouts
This administration has adopted the poli-
cies of news management and unjustifiable
secrecy, in the guise of guarding the Na-
tion's security; it has shown a contempt
of the right of the people to know the truth.
This administration, while claiming major
defense savings, has in fact raised defense
spending by billions of dollars a year, - and
yet has shortchanged critical areas.
Undermining Morale
This administration has weakened the
bonds of confidence and understanding be-
tween civilian leaders and the Nation's top
military professionals. It has bypassed sea-
soned military judgment in vital national
security policy decisions.
It has permitted nonmilitary considera-
tions, political as well as spurious economic
arguments, to reverse professional judgment
on major weapons and equipment such as
the controversial TFX, the X-22, and the
nuclear carrier.
In sum, both in military and foreign af-
fairs, the Democratic record all the world
around is one of disappointment and reverses
for freedom.
And this record is no better at home.
Failures at home
Inability To Create Jobs
This administration has failed to Honor its
pledges to assure good jobs, full prosperity
and a rapidly growing economy, for all the
American people: failing to reduce unem-
ployment to. 4 percent, falling far short
of its announced goal every single month of
its tenure in office; and, despite glowing
promises, allowing a disheartening increase
in long-term and youth unemployment.
This administration has failed to apply Re-
publican-initiated retraining programs where
most needed, particularly where they could
afford new economic opportunities to Negro
citizens. It, has preferred, instead, divisive
political proposals.
it has demonstrated its inability to meas-
ure up to the challenge of automation which,
wisely guided, will enrich the lives of all peo-
ple. Administration approaches have been
negative and unproductive, as for example
the proposed penalties upon the use of over-
time. Such penalties would serve only to
spread existing unemployment and injure
those who create jobs.
It has failed to perform its responsibility
under Republican amendments to the Man-
power Training Act. It has neglected, for
example, the basic requirement of developing
a dictionary of labor skills which are locally,
regionally and nationally in short supply,
even though many thousands of jobs are un-
filled today for lack of qualified applicants.
Failing the Poor
This administration has refused to take
practical free enterprise measures to help the
poor. Under the last Republican administra-
tion, the percentage of poor in the country
dropped encouragingly from 28 to 21 percent,
By contrast, the present administration, de-
spite a massive increase in the Federal bu-
reaucracy, has managed a mere 2-percentage-
point reduction.
This administration has proposed a so-
called war on poverty which characteristical-
ly overlaps, and often contradicts, the 42
existing Federal poverty programs. It would
dangerously centralize Federal controls and
bypass effective State, local, and private pro-
grams.
It has demonstrated little concern for the
acute problems created for the poor by in-
flation. Consumer prices have increased in
the past three and a half years by almost 5
percent, amounting in effect to a 5-percent
national sales tax on the purchases of a fam-
ily living on fixed income.
Under housing and urban renewal pro-
grams, notably In the Nation's Capital, it
has created new slums by forcing the poor
from -their homes to make room for luxury
apartments, while neglecting the vital need
for adequate relocation assistance.
Retarding Enterprises
This administration has violently thrust
Federal power into the free market in such
areas as steel prices, thus establishing prec-
edents which in future ye rt cou)AL critically
wound free enterprise in the' United States.
It has so discouraged private enterprise
that the annual increase in the number of
businesses has plummeted from the Repub-
lican level of 70,000 a year to 47,000 a year.
It has allowed the rate of business failures
to rise higher under its leadership than in
any period since depression days.
It has aggravated the problems of small
business by multiplying Federal recordkeep-
ing requirements and has hurt thousands of
small businessmen by forcing up- their costs.
This administration has curtailed, through
such agencies as the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, the simple, basic right of Amer-
icans voluntarily to go into or to go out of
business.
It has failed to stimulate new housing and
attract more private capital into the field,
In the past 3 years it has fallen short by
1,500,000 units of meeting its pledge of 2
million new homes each year.
It has sought to weaken the patent sys-
tem which is so largely responsible for Amer-
ica's progress in technology, medicine, and
science.
It has required private electric power com-
panies to submit to unreasonable Federal
controls as a condition to the utilization of
rights-of-way over public lands. It has
sought to advance, without congressional
authorization, a vastly expensive nation-
wide electrical transmission grid.
Betrayal of the Farmer
This administration has refused, incred-
ibly, to honor the clear mandate of Amer-
ican wheat farmers, in the largest farm ref-
erendum ever held, to free them of rigid
Federal controls and to restore their birth-
right to make their own management deci-
sions.
it has strangled the Republican rural de-
velopment program with redtape and ne-
glected its most essential ingredient-local
initiative.
It has broken its major promises to farm
people, dropping the parity ratio to its low-
est level since 1939. It has dumped surplus
stocks so as to lower farm income and in-
crease the vicious cost-price squeeze on the
farmer.
It has evidenced hostility toward American
livestock producers by proposals to establish
mandatory marketing quotas on all livestock,
to fine and imprison dairy farmers failing to
maintain federally acceptable records, and
to establish a subsidized grazing-cropland
conversion program. It has allowed imports
of beef and other meat products to rise to
an alltime high during a slump in cattle
prices which was aggravated by Government
grain sales.
Neglect of Natural Resources
This administration has delayed the ex-
peditious handling of oil shale patent ap-
plications and the early development of a
domestic oil shale industry.
It has allowed the deterioration of the
domestic mining and petroleum industries,
including displacement of domestic markets
by foreign imports.
It has failed to protect the American fish-
ing industry and has retreated from policies
providing equitable sharing of international
fishing grounds.
Fiscal Irresponsibility
This administration has mislead the Amer-
ican people by such budget manipulations
as crowding spending into the previous fiscal
year, presenting a proposal to sell off $2.3
billion in Government assets as a cut in
spending, and using bookkeeping devices to
make expenditures seem smaller than they
actually are.
It has, despite pledges of economy, bur-
dened this Nation with four unbalanced
budgets in a row, creating deficits totaling
$26 billion, with still more debt to come,

1964 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
reflecting a ryfae o*~Iv ilstained deficit spending
unmatched in pedcetime.
It has failed to establish sensible priorities
for Federal funds. In consequence, it has
undertaken needlessly expensive crash pro-
grams, as for example accelerating a trip to
the moon, to the neglect of other critical
needs such as research into health and the
increasingly serious problems of air and wa-
ter pollution and urban crowding.
This administration has continued to en-
danger retirement under social security for
millions of citizens; it has attempted to over-
load the system with costly, unrelated pro-
grams which Ignore the dangers of overly
regressive taxation and the unfairness of
forcing the poor to finance such programs
for the rich.
It has demanded the elimination of a sub-
stantial portion of personal income tax
deductions for charitable and church contri-
butions, for real property taxes paid by home
owners, and for interest payments. The
elimination of these deductions would im-
pose great hardship upon millions of our
citizens and discourage the growth of some
of the finest organizations in America.
This administration has Impeded investi-
gations of suspected wrongdoing which
might Implicate public officials in the high-
est offices in the land. It has thus aroused
justifiable resentment against those who use
the high road of public service as the low
road to illicitly acquired wealth.
It has permitted the quality and morale
of the postal system to deteriorate and dras-
tically restricted its services. It has made
the Post Office almost inaccessible to mil-
lions of working people, reduced the once
admlr,,. parcel post system to a national
laughing stock-and yet it is intimated that
Americans may soon have to pay 8 cents for
a first-class postage stamp.
It has resisted personal income tax credits
for education, always preferring the route
loading to Federal control over our schools,
Some leading Democrats have even cam-
paigned politically in favor of such tax cred-
its while voting against them in Congress.
Contrary to the intent of the Manpower
Training Act, it has sought to extend De-
partment of Labor influence over vocational
education.
Discord and Discontent
This administration has exploited inter-
racial tensions by extravagant campaign
promises, without fulfillment, playing on
the just aspirations of the minority groups,
encouraging disorderly and lawless elements,
and ineffectually administering the laws.
It has subjected career civil servants and
part-time Federal employees, including em-
ployees of the Agriculture Department, to
political pressures harmful to the integrity
of the entire Federal service. It has weak-
ened veterans preference in Federal jobs,
It has made Federal intervention, even on
the Presidential level, a standard operating
practice in labor disputes, thus menacing the
entire system of free collective bargaining.
It has resorted to police state tactics, us-
ing the great power of Federal departments
and agencies, to compel compliance with
administration desires, notably In the steel
price dispute. The Department of Justice,
in particular, has been used improperly to
achieve partisan political, economic, and
legislative goals. This abuse of power
should be the subject of a congressional in-
vestigation.
Weakening Responsibility
This administration has moved, through
such yndertakings as its so-called war on
poverty, accelerated public works and the
new communities program in the 1964 hous-
ing proposal, to establish new Federal offices
duplicating existing agencies, bypassing the
State capitals, thrusting aside local govern-
ment and siphoning off to Washington the
administration of private citizen and com-
munity affairs.
It has undermined the federally assisted,
State-operated medical and hospital assist-
ance program, while using-and abusing-
Federal authority to force a compulsory hos-
pital program upon the people and the Con-
gress,
This enumeration is necessarily incom-
plete. It does not exhaust the catalog
of. misdeeds and failures of the present
administration. And let the Nation realize
that the full impact of these many ill-con-
ceived and ill-fated activities of the Demo-
cratic administration is yet to come,
SECTION 3
The Republican alternative
We Republicans are not content to record
Democratic misdeeds and failures. We now
offer policies and programs new in concep-
tion and dynamic in operation. These we
urge to recapture initiative for freedom at
home and abroad and to rebuild our
strength at home.
Nor is this a new role. Republican Presi-
dents from Abraham Lincoln to Dwight D.
Eisenhower stand as witnesses that Republi-
can leadership is steadfast in principle, clear
in purpose, and committed to progress. The
many achievements of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration in strengthening peace abroad
and the well-being of all at home have been
unmatched in recent times. A new Republi-
can administration will stand proudly on
this record.
We do not submit, in this platform, ex-
travagant promises to be cynically cast aside
after election day. Rather, we offer examples
of Republican initiatives in areas of over-
riding concern to the whole Nation-North,
South, East, and West-which befit a truly
national party. In the interest of brevity,
we do not repeat the commitments of the
1960 Republican platform, "Building a Bet-
ter America," and the 1962 Declaration of
Republican Principle and Policy." We in-
corporate into this platform as pledges re-
newed those commitments which are rele-
vant to the problems of 1964.
These, then, will be our guides, and these
our additional pledges, in meeting the Na-
tion's needs.
Faith in the individual
1. We Republicans shall first rely on the
individual's right and capacity to advance
his own economic well-being, to control the
fruits of his efforts and to plan his own and
his family's future; and, where Government
is rightly Involved, we shall assist the indi-
vidual in surmounting urgent problems be-
yond his own power and responsibility to
control. For instance, we pledge:
(a) Enlargement of employment oppor-
tunities for urban and rural citizens, with
emphasis on training programs to equip
them with needed skills; Improved job infor-
mation and placement services; and research
and extension services channeled toward
helping rural people improve their oppor-
tunities.
(b) Tax credits and other methods of as-
sistance to help needy senior citizens meet
the costs of medical and hospital insurance.
(c) A strong, sound system of social secu-
rity, with improved benefits to our people.
(d) Continued Federal support for a sound
research program aimed at both the preven-
tion and cure of diseases, and intensified
efforts to secure prompt and effective appli-
cation of the results of research. This will
include emphasis on mental illness, drug
addiction, alcoholism, cancer, heart disease,
and other diseases of increasing incidence.
(e) Revision of the social security laws
to allow higher earnings, without loss of
benefits, by our elderly people.
(f) Full coverage of all medical and hospi-
tal costs for the needy elderly people, fi-
nanced by general revenues through broader
implementation of Federal-State plans,
rather than the compulsory Democratic
scheme covering only a small percentage of
such costs, for everyone regardless of need.
(g) Adoption and implementation of a fair
and adequate program for providing neces-
sary supplemental farm labor for producing
and harvesting agricultural commodities.
(h) Tax credits for those burdened by the
expenses of college education.
(I) Vocational rehabilitation, through co-
operation between government-Federal and
State-and industry, for the mentally and
physically handicapped, the chronically un-
employed, and the poverty stricken.
(j) Incentives for employers to hire teen-
agers, including broadening of temporary
exemptions under the minimum wage law.
(k) To repeal the administration's wheat
certificate "bread tax" on consumers, so bur-
densome to`low-income families and over-
whelmingly rejected by farmers.
(1) Revision of present non-service-con-
nected pension programs to provide increased
benefits for low-income pensioners, with em-
phasis on rehabilitation, nursing homes, and
World War I veterans.
(m) Reevaluation of the Armed Forces'
manpower procurement programs with the
goal of replacing involuntary inductions as
soon as possible by an efficient voluntary
system, offering real career incentives.
(n) Enactment of legislation, despite
Democratic opposition, to curb the flow
through the mails of obscene materials which
has flourished Into a multimillion-dollar
obscenity racket.
(o) Support of a constitutional amend-
ment permitting those individuals and
groups who choose to do so to exercise their
religion freely in public places, provided re-
ligious exercises are not prepared or pre-
scribed by the State or political subdivision
thereof and no persons's participation there-
in is coerced, thus preserving the traditional
separation of church and state.
(p) Full implementation and faithful ex-
ecution of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and
all other civil rights statutes, to assure equal
rights and opportunities guaranteed by the
Constitution to every citizen;
(q) Improvements of civil rights statutes
adequate to changing needs of our times.
(r) Such additional administrative or
legislative actions as may be required to end
the denial, for whatever unlawful reason, of
the right to vote.
(s) Immigration legislation seeking to re-
unite families and continuation of the "fair
share" refugee program.
(t) Continued opposition to discrimina-
tion based on race, creed, national origin, or
sex. We recognize that the elimination of
any such discrimination is a matter of heart,
conscience, and education, as well as of equal
rights under law.
In all such programs, where Federal initia-
tive is properly involved to relieve or prevent
misfortune or meet overpowering need, it will
be the Republican way to move promptly
and energetically, and wherever possible to
provide assistance of a kind enabling the
individual to gain or regain the capability to
make his own way and to have a fair chance
to achieve his own goals. In all matters
relating to human rights it will be the
Republican way fully to Implement all appli-
cable laws and never to lose sight of the
intense need for advancing peaceful progress
in human relations in our land. The party
of Abraham Lincoln will proudly and faith-
fully live up to its heritage of equal rights
and equal opportunities for all.
In furtherance of our faith in the indi-
vidual, we also pledge prudent, responsible

and protecting every citizen against the high
taxes forced by excessive spending, in order
that each individual may keep more of his
earnings for his own and his family's use.
For instance, we pledge:
(1) A reduction of not less than $5 bil-
lion In the present level of Federal spend-
ing.
(2) An end to chronic deficit financing,
proudly reaffirming our belief in a balanced
budget.
(3) Further reduction in individual and
corporate tax rates as fiscal discipline is
restored.
(4) Repayments on the public debt.
(5) Maintenance of an administrative, leg-
islative and regulatory climate encouraging
job-building enterprise to help assure every
individual a real chance for a good job.
(6) Wise, firm, and responsible conduct of
the Nation's foreign affairs, backed by mili-
tary forces kept modern, strong, and ready,
thereby assuring every individual of a fu-
ture promising peace.
In all such matters it will be the Re-
publican way so to conduct the affairs of
government as to give the individual citizen
the maximum assurance of a peaceful and
prosperous future, freed of the discourage-
ment and hardship produced by wasteful and
ineffectual government.
In furtherance of our faith in the indi-
vidual, we also pledge the maximum re-
straint of Federal intrusions into matters
more productively left to the individual. For
instance, we pledge:
(1) To continue Republican sponsorship
of practical Federal-State-local programs
which will effectively treat the needs of the
poor, while resisting direct Federal hand-
outs that erode away individual self-
reliance and self-respect and perpetuate de-
pendency,
(2) To continue the advancement of edu-
cation on all levels, through such programs
as selective aid to higher education,
strengthened State and local tax resources,
including tax credits for college education,
while resisting the Democratic efforts which
endanger local control of schools.
(3) To help assure equal opportunity and
good education for all, while opposing fed-
erally sponsored. "inverse discrimination,"
whether by the shifting of jobs, or the aban-
donment of neighborhood schools, for rea-
sons of race.
(4) To provide our farmers, who have con-
tributed so much to the strength of our Na-
tion, with the maximum opportunity to ex-
ercise their own management decisions on
their own farms, while resisting all efforts to
impose upon them further Federal controls.
(8) To establish realistic priorities for the
concentration of Federal spending in the
most productive and creative areas, such as
education, job training, vocational rehabili-
tation, educational research, oceanography,
and the wise development and use of natural
resources in the water as well as on land.
while resisting Democratic efforts to spend
wastefully and indiscriminately.
(6) To open avenues of peaceful progress
in solving racial controversies while dis-
couraging lawlessness and violence.
In all such matters, it will. be the Republi-
can way to assure the individual of maxi-
mum freedom as Government meets its proper
responsibilities, while resisting the Demo-
cratic obsession to impose from above, uni-
form and rigid schemes for meeting varied
and complex human problems.
Faith in the competitive system
metics, luggage, handbags, wallets, and
toiletries.
(b) Assistance to small business by sim-
plifying Federal and State tax and regulatory
requirements, fostering the availability of
longer term credit at fair terms and equity
capital for small firms, encouraging strong
State programs to foster small business,
establishing more effective measures to as-
sure a sharing by small business in Federal
procurement, and promoting wider export
opportunities.
(c) An end to power-grabbing regulatory
actions, such as the reach by the Federal
Trade Commission for injunctive powers, and
the ceaseless pressing by the White House,
the Food and Drug Administration and
Federal Trade Commission to dominate con-
sumer decisions in the marketplace.
(d) Returning the consumer to the driver's
seat as the chief regulator and chief bene-
ficiary of a free economy, by resisting exces-
sive concentration of power, whether public
or private.
(e) A drastic reduction in burdensome
Federal paperwork and overlapping regula-
tions, which weigh heavily on small busi-
nessmen struggling to compete and to pro-
vide jobs.
(f) A determined drive, through tough,
realistic negotiations, to remove the many
discriminatory and restrictive trade prac
tices of foreign nations.
(g) Greater emphasis on oversea sales of
surplus farm commodities to friendly coun-
tries through long-term credits repayable In
dollars under the Republican food-for-peace
program.
(h) Dedication to freedom of expression
for all news media, to the right of access by
such media to public proceedings, and to the
independence of radio, television, and other
news-gathering media from excessive Gov-
ernment control.
(i) Improvement, and full and fair en-
forcement, of the antitrust statutes, coupled
with long-overdue clarification of Federal
policies and interpretations relating thereto
in order to strengthen competition and pro-
tect the consumer and small business.
(j) Constant opposition to any form of
unregulated monopoly, whether business or
labor.
(k) Meaningful safeguards against irrep-
arable Injuries to any domestic industries
by disruptive surges of imports, such as in
the case of beef and other meat products,
textiles, oil, glass, coal, lumber, and steel.
(1) Enactment of law, such as the Demo-
cratic administration vetoed in the 88th
Congress, requiring that labels of imported
items clearly disclose their foreign origin.
(m) Completely reorganize the National
Labor Relations Board to assure impartial
protection of the rights of the public, em-
ployees and employers, ending the defiance
of Congress by the present Board.
(n) The redevelopment of an atmosphere
of confidence throughout the Government
and across the Nation, in which vigorous
competition can flourish.
In all such matters it will be the Repub-
lican way to support, not harass-to encour-
age, not restrain-to build confidence, not
threaten-to provide stability, not unrest-
to speed genuine growth, not conjure up sta-
tistical fantasies and to assure that all ac-
tions of Government apply fairly to every
element of the Nation's economy.
In furtherance of our faith in the com-
petitive system, we also pledge:
(1) A continual reexamination and re-
duction of Government competition with
the dynamo of economic growth-free, com- private business, consistent with the recom-
petitive enterprise--that has made America mendations of the second Hoover Commis-
the envy of the world. For instance, we sion.
pledge: (2) Elimination of excessive bureaucracy.
(a) Removal of the wartime Federal ex- (3) Full protection of the integrity of the
cise taxes, favored by the Democratic ad- career governmental services, military and
ministration, on pens, pencils, jewelry, cos- civilian, coupled with adequate pay scales.
(4) Maximum relian poa*,subordinate
levels of Government and individual citizens
to meet the Nation's needs, in place of estab-
lishing even more Federal agencies to burden
the people.
In all such matters relating to Federal ad-
ministration it will be the Republican way
to provide maximum service for each tax dol-
lar expended, watchfully superintend the
size and mope of Federal activities, and as-
sure an administration always fair, efficient,
and cooperatively disposed toward every ele-
ment of our competitive system.
Faith in limited Government
3. We Republicans shall insist that the
Federal Government have effective but lim-
ited powers, that it be frugal and efficient,
and that it fully meet its constitutional re-
sponsibilities to all the American people.
For instance, we pledge:
(a) Restoration of collective bargaining
responsibility to labor and management,
minimizing third-party intervention and
preventing any agency of Government from
becoming an advocate for any private eco-
nomic interest.
(b) Development of truly voluntary com-
modity programs for commercial agriculture,
including payments-in-kind out of Govern-
ment-owned surpluses, diversion of un-
needed land to conservation uses, price sup-
ports free of political manipulation in order
to stimulate and attain fair market prices,
together with adequate credit facilities and
continued support of farm owned and oper-
ated cooperatives including rural electric and
telephone facilities, while resisting all ef-
forts to make the farmer dependent, for his
economic survival, upon either compen-
satory payments by the Federal Government
or upon the whim of the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
(e) Full cooperation of all governmental
levels and private enterprise in advancing
the balanced use of the Nation's natural
resources to provide for man's multiple
needs.
(d) Continuing review of public-land laws
and policies to assure maximum opportunity
for all beneficial uses of the public lands;
including the development of mineral re-
sources.
(e) Comprehensive water-resource plan-
ning and development, including projects for
our growing cities, expanded research in de-
salinization of water, and continued sup-
port of multipurpose reclamation project.
(f) Support of sustained yield manage-
ment of our forests and expanded research
for control of forest insects, disease, and
forest fires.
(g) Protection of traditional domestic
fishing grounds and other actions, including
tax incentives, to encourage modernization
of fishing vessels, and improve processing and
marketing practices.
(h) Continued tax support to encourage
exploration and development of domestic
sources of minerals and metals, with rea-
sonable depletion allowances.
(I) Stabilization of present oil programs,
private development of atomic power, in-
creased coal research, and expansion of coal
exports.
(j) A replanning of the present space
program to provide for a more orderly, yet
aggressively pursued, step-by-step develop-
ment, remaining alert to the danger of over-
diversion of skilled personnel in critical
shortage from other vital areas such as
health, Industry, education, and science.
In furtherance of our faith in limited,
frugal and efficient government we also
pledge:
(1) Credit against Federal taxes for speci-
fied State and local taxes paid, and a transfer
to the States of excise and other Federal tax
sources, to reinforce the fiscal strength of
State and local governments so that they

may better. Aneej' ising school costs and
other pressing urban and suburban prob-
lems such as transportation, housing, water
systems and juvenile delinquency.
(2) Emphasis upon channeling more pri-
vate capital into sound urban development
projects and private housing.
(3) Critical reexamination and major
overhaul of all Federal grant-in-aid programs
with a view to channeling such programs
through the States, discontinuing those no
longer required and adjusting others in a de-
termined effort to restore the unique balance
and creative energy of the traditional Ameri-
can system of government.
(4) Revitalization of municipal and county
governments throughout America by encour-
aging them, and private citizens as well, to
develop new solutions of their major con-
cerns through a streamlining and moderniz-
ing of State and local processes of govern-
ment, and by a renewed consciousness of
their ability to reach these solutions, not
through Federal action, but through their
own capabilities.
(5) Support of a constitutional amend-
ment, as well as legislation, enabling States
having bicameral legislatures to apportion
one House on bases of their choosing, includ-
ing factors other than population.
(8) Complete reform of the tax structure
to include simplification as well as lower
rates to strengthen individual and business
incentives.
(7) Effective budgetary reform, improved
congressional appropriation procedures, and
full implementation of the antideficiency
statute.
(8) A wide-ranging reform of other con-
gressional procedures, including the provision
of adequate professional staff assistance for
the minority membership on congressional
committees, to insure that the power and
prestige of Congress remain adequate to the
needs of the times.
(9) High priority for the solution of the
Nation's balance-of-payment difficulties to
assure unquestioned confidence in the dollar,
maintenance of the competitiveness of
American products in domestic and foreign
markets, expansion of exports, stimulation
of foreign tourism in the United States,
greater foreign sharing of mutual security
burdens abroad, a drastic reorganization and
redirection of the entire foreign aid effort,
gradual reductions in oversea U.S. forces as
manpower can be replaced by increased fire-
power; and strengthening of the interna-
tional monetary system without sacrifice of
our freedom of policymaking.
In all such matters it will be the Republi-
can way to achieve not feigned but genuine
savings, allowing a reduction of the public
debt and additional tax reductions while
meeting the proper responsibilities of Gov-
ernment. We pledge an especially deter-
mined effort to help strengthen the ability
of State and local governments to meet the
broad range of needs facing the Nation's ur-
ban and suburban communities.
SECTION 4,
Freedom abroad
The Republican commitment to individ-
ual freedom applies no less abroad.
America must advance freedom through-
out the world as a vital condition of orderly
human progress, universal justice, and the
security of the American people.
The supreme challenge to this policy is an
atheistic imperialism-communism.
Our Nation's leadership must be judged
by-indeed, American independence and even
survival are dependent upon-the stand it
takes toward communism.
That stand must be: victory for freedom.
There can be no peace, there can be no secu-
rity, until this goal is won.
As long as Communist leaders remain ide-
ologically fixed upon ruling the world, there
can be no lesser goal. This is the supreme
test of America's foreign policy. It must
not be defaulted. In the balance is human
liberty everyplace on earth.
Reducing the risks of war
A dynamic strategy aimed at victory-
pressing always for initiatives for freedom,
rejecting always appeasement and with-
drawal-reduces the risk of nuclear war. It
is a nation's vacillation, not firmness, that
tempts an aggressor into war. It is accom-
modation, not opposition, that encourages
a hostile nation to remain hostile and to
remain aggressive.
The road to peace is a road not of fawning
amiability but of strength and respect. Re-
publicans judge foreign policy by its success
in advancing freedom and justice, not by its
effect on international prestige polls.
In making foreign policy, these will be our
guidelines:
Trusting ourselves and our friends
(1) Secrecy in foreign policy must be at
a minimum, public understanding at a maxi-
mum. Our own citizens, rather than those
of other nations, should be accorded primary
trust.
(2) Consultation with our allies should
take precedence over direct negotiations with
Communist powers. The bypassing of our
allies has contributed greatly to the shatter-
ing of free world unity and to the loss of
free world continuity in opposing com-
munism.
Communism's course
(3) We reject the notion that communism
has abandoned its goal of world domination,
or that fat and well-fed Communists are less
dangerous than lean and hungry ones. We
also reject the notion that the United States
should take sides in the Sino-Soviet rift.
Republican foreign policy starts with the
assumption that communism is the enemy
of this Nation in every sense until it can
prove that its enmity has been abandoned.
(4) We hold that trade with Communist
countries should not be directed toward the
enhancement of their power and influence
but could only be justified if it would serve
to diminish their power.
(6) We are opposed to the recognition of
Red China. We oppose its admission into
the United Nations. We steadfastly support
free China.
(6) In negotiations with Communists, Re-
publicans will probe tirelessly for reasonable,
practicable, and trustworthy agreements.
However, we will never abandon insistence on
advantages for the free world.
(7) Republicans will continue to work for
the realization of the open skies policy pro-
posed in 1955 by President Eisenhower. Only
open societies offer real hope of confidence
among nations.
Communism's captives
(8) Republicans reaffirm their long-stand-
ing commitment to a course leading to even-
tual liberation of the Communist-dominated
nations of Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin
America, including the peoples of Hungary,
Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Ru-
mania, Albania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania,
Estonia, Armenia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and
its Serbian, Croatian, and Slovene peoples,
Cuba, mainland China, and many others.
We condemn the persecution of minorities,
such as the Jews, within Communist borders.
The United Nations
(9) Republicans support the United Na-
tions. However, we will never rest in our ef-
forts to revitalize its original purpose.
We will press for a change in the method
of voting in the General Assembly and in the
specialized agencies that will reflect popula-
tion disparities among the member states
and recognize differing abilities and willing-
ness to meet the obligations of the charter.
We will insist upon General Assembly accep-
tance of the International Court of Justice
advisory opinion, upholding denial of the
votes of member nations which refuse to
meet properly levied assessments, so that the
United Nations will more accurately reflect
the power realities of the world. Further to
assure the carrying out of these recommen-
dations and to correct the above abuses, we
urge the calling of an amending convention
of the United Nations by the year 1967.
Republicans will never surrender to any
international group the responsibility of the
United States for its sovereignty, its own
security, and the leadership of the free world.
NATO: The great shield
(10) Republicans regard NATO as indis-
pensable for the prevention of war and the
protection of freedom. NATO's unity and
vitality have alarmingly deteriorated under
the present administration. It is a keytsone
of Republican foreign policy to revitalize the
alliance.
To hasten its restoration, Republican lead-
ership will move immediately to establish an
international commission, comprised of in-
dividuals of high competence in NATO af-
fairs, whether in or out of government, to
explore and recommend effective new ways to
strengthen alliance participation and ful-
fillment.
Freedom's further demands
(11) To our Nation's associates in SEATO
and CENTO, Republicans pledge reciprocal
dedication of purpose and revitalized inter-
est. These great alliances, with NATO, must
be returned to the forefront of foreign policy
planning. A strengthened alliance system is
equally necessary in the Western Hemisphere.
This will remain our constant purpose:
Republicans will labor tirelessly with free
men everywhere and in everty circumstance
toward the defeat of communism and victory
for freedom.
The geography of freedom
(12) In diverse regions of the world, Re-
publicans will make clear to any hostile na-
tion that the United States will increase the
costs and risks of aggression to make them
outweigh hopes for gain. It was just such a
communication and determination by the
Eisenhower Republican administration that
produced the 1953 Korean armistice. The
same strategy can win victory for freedom and
stop further aggression in southeast Asia.
We will move decisively to assure victory
in South Vietnam.. While confining the con-
flict as closely as possible, America must move
to end the fighting in a reasonable time and
provide guarantees against further aggres-
sion. We must make it clear to the Commu-
nist world that, when conflict is forced with
America, it will end only in victory for
freedom.
We will demand that the Berlin wall be
taken down prior to the resumption of any
negotiations with the Soviet Union on the
status of forces in, or treaties affecting,
Germany.
We will reassure our German friends that
the United States will not accept any plan
for the future of Germany which lacks firm
assurance of a free election on reunification.
We will urge the immediate implementa-
tion of the Caracas Declaration of Solidarity
against international Communist interven-
tion, endorsed in 1954 by the Organization of
American States during the Eisenhower ad-
ministration, which declaration, in accord-
ance with the historic Monroe Doctrine, our
Nation's official policy since 1823, opposes
domination of any of our neighbor nations by
any power outside this hemisphere.
We will vigorously press our OAS partners
to join the United States in restoring a free
and independent government in Cuba, stop-
ping the spread of Sino-Soviet subversion,
forcing the withdrawal of the foreign mili-
tary presence now in Latin America, and
preventing future intrusions. We Repub-
licans will recognize a Cuban Government-in-
exile; we will support its efforts to regain the
independence of its homeland; we will assist

Cuban freedom fighters in carrying on guer-
rilla warfare against the Communist regime;
we will work for an economic boycott by all
nations of the free world in trade with Cuba;
and we will encourage free elections in Cuba
after liberty and stability are restored.
We will consider raising the economic par-
ticipation of the Republic of Panama in the
operation of the Panama Canal and assure
the safety of Americans in the area. We will
reaffirm this Nation's treaty rights and study
the feasibility of a substitute, sea level canal
at an appropriate location including the
feasibility_ of- nuclear excavation.
Republicans will make clear to all Commu-
nists now supporting or planning to support
guerrilla and subversive activities, that
henceforth there will be no privileged sanc-
tuaries to protect those who disrupt the
peace of the world. We will make clear that
blockade, interception of logistical support,
and diplomatic and economic pressure are
appropriate U.S. counters to deliberate
breaches of the peace.
We will make clear to all Communist
leaders everywhere that aggressive actions,
including those in the German air corridors,
will be grounds for reevaluation of any and
all trade or diplomatic relations currently to
communism's advantage.
We will take the cold war offensive on all
fronts, including, for example, a reinvigo-
rated USIA. It will broadcast not our weak-
nesses but our strengths. It will mount a
psychological warfare attack on behalf of
freedom and against Communist doctrine
and imperialism.
Republicans will recast foreign aid pro-
grams. We will see that all will serve the
cause of freedom. We will see that none
bolster and sustain anti-American regimes;
we will increase the use of private capital
on a partnership basis with foreign na.-
tionals, as a means of fostering independ-
ence and mutual respect but we assert that
property of American nationals mustnot be
expropriated by any foreign government
without prompt and adequate compensation
as contemplated by international law.
.Respecting the Middle East, and in addi-
tion to our reaffirmed pledges of 1960 con-
cerning this area, we will so direct our eco-
nomic and military assistance as to help
maintain stability in this region and prevent
an Imbalance of arms.
Finally, we will improve the efficiency and
coordination of the Foreign Service, and pro-
vide adequate allowance for Foreign Service
personnel.
The development of freedom
(13) Freedom's wealth must never support
freedom's decline, always its growth. Amer-
ica's tax revenues derived from free enter-
prise sources must never be employed Irk sup-
port of-socialism. America must assist young
and underdeveloped nations. in the process,
however, we must not sacrifice the trust of
old friends.
Our assistance, also, must be conditional
upon self-help and progress toward the de-
velopment of free institutions. We favor the
establishment in underdeveloped nations of
an economic and political climate that will
encourage the investment of local capital and
attract the investment of foreign capital.
Freedom's shield-and sward
Finally, Republicans pledge to keep the
Nation's sword sharp, ready, and dependable.
We will maintain a superior, not merely
equal, military capability as long as the
Communist drive for world domination con-
tinues. It will be a capability of balanced
force, superior in all its arms, maintaining
flexibility for effective performance in the
rapidly changing science of war.
Republicans will never unilaterally disarm
America.
We will demand that any arms reduction
plan worthy of consideration guarantee relia-
ble inspection. We will demand that any
such plan assure this Nation of sufficient
strength, step by step, to forestall and defend
against possible violations.
We will take every step necessary to carry
forward the vital military research and de-
velopment programs. We will pursue these
programs as absolutely necessary to assure
our Nation of superior strength in the 1970's.
We will revitalize research and develop-
ment programs needed to enable the Nation
to develop advanced new weapons systems,
strategic as well as tactical.
We will Include the fields of antisubmarine
warfare, astronautics and aeronautics, spe-
cial guerrilla forces, and such other defense
systems required to keep America ready for
any threat.
We will fully implement such safeguards
as our security requires under the limited
nuclear test ban treaty. We will conduct
advanced tests in permissible areas, maintain
facilities to test elsewhere in case of viola-
tions, and develop to the fullest our ability
to detect Communist transgressions. Ad-
ditionally, we will regularly review the status
of nuclear weaponry under the limited nu-
clear test ban to assure this Nation's pro-
tection. We shall also provide sensible,
continuing reviews of the treaty itself.
We will end second-best weapons
policies. We will end the false economies
which place price ahead of the performance
upon which American lives may depend.
Republicans will bring an end once again
to the "peak and valley" defense planning,
so costly in morale and strength as well as
In dollars. We will prepare a practical civil
defense program.
We will restore the morale of our Armed
Forces by upgrading military professionalism,
and we will allow professional dissent while
insuring that strong and sound civilian au-
thority controls objective decisionmaking.
We will return the Joint Chiefs of Staff
to their lawful status as the President's prin-
cipal military advisers. We will insure that
an effective planning and operations staff
is restored to the National Security Council.
We will reconsecrate this Nation to human
liberty, assuring the freedom of our people,
and rallying mankind to a new crusade for
freedom all around the world.
We Republicans, with the help of Almighty
God, will keep those who would bury Amer-
ica aware that this Nation has the strength
and also the will to defend its every interest.
Those -interests, we shall make clear, in-
clude the preservation and expansion of
freedom-and ultimately its victory-every
place on earth.
We do not offer the easy way. We offer
dedication and perseverance, leading to vic-
tory. This is our platform. This Is the
Republican way.
