Humphrey Defends Campaign Positions Backed by Admin
Humphrey argued that several stances from his 1969 campaign, opposed by Nixon, have now gained administration support. He cited the 10 percent tax extension, prompt ratification of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, and continued advocacy for school desegregation. He said his criticisms were valid and some proposals are now accepted.
