Thurmond backs one term for president in constitutional amendment
Sen. Strom Thurmond urged a six year single term for presidents saying it would let leaders focus on national issues rather than re election. He cited the Carter administration and noted Truman supported such terms except Nixon. He also pressed for a crash program to restore military parity with the Soviets and a 8 to 10 percent real growth in defense over ten years.
