He warned against inflation, defended civil rights policy, and endorsed a middle course on school desegregation. He also noted no combat troops in Laos and promised a major Latin American policy pronouncement after Camp David talks with Governor Nelson Rockefeller.

For the year he estimated the 1960 draft call about two percent below 1998 level.
