Byrd Defends Virginia Independence in Washington Stance
Sen Varry Byrd of Virginia argued that independence strengthens Virginia's voice in Washington by enabling cooperation with both parties and the White House. He labeled Elmo Zumwalt the wandering admiral, declined to state support for Carter or Ford, and recalled past offers of aid from Johnson and Nixon, explaining he runs independently to act in Virginia's best interest. He spoke at Martinsville merchant dinner and at Roanoke College on Pi Sigma Alpha events, urging a strong defense with sound foreign policy and economy.
