Laird Elected GOP Platform Chief In 1964 Bid
Melvin R. Laird of Wisconsin has been chosen to chair the Republican Platform committee for the 1964 election year. A veteran legislator and close to a professional party assembler, Laird has served in the Wisconsin Senate and House, then the U.S. House, and has earned a reputation as an conciliator during tense platform hearings. He notes only four changes to the draft despite a Nixon Rockefeller agreement. Born Sept 1, 1922, in Marshfield, Laird served in the Navy and won the Wisconsin Senate at 23. He remains focused on defense and medical research on the Appropriations Committee.
