Nixon Pledges to Trim Budget and Weaken McGovern Fight
Nixon opened his campaign with a vow to trim the budget without harming defense and warned McGovern's programs would make the nation second rate. He urged voters to reject naive hopes for peace and argued U.S. strength guards peace, citing defense cuts and a tough stance on Vietnam. He spoke at an American Legion convention during a three stop national swing en route to San Clemente. He also attacked Democrats for not solving school busing and asserted ongoing defense economizing while maintaining safety. He praised the 3.5 million Americans who served in Vietnam and rebuked deserters and draft dodgers while honoring those who remained true to duty.
