Scranton says Nixon backs campus unrest report
William W. Scranton, chairman of Nixon's Commission on Campus Unrest, says the President's comments align with the report's condemnation of violence and its recommendations for colleges. He notes Nixon's response to the forthcoming White House Conference on Youth and asserts the tone is supportive despite some negative phrasing. The remarks come as Scranton cites that Agnew called the report pabulum for permissiveness, which he disputes.
