Agnew attacks black leaders amid Madrid trip blast
Vice President Spiro Agnew denounced unnamed American black leaders for constant criticism and lack of constructive action during a news conference aboard Air Force II en route to Madrid. He praised Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie and Kenyan President Kenyatta as examples while saying many U.S. black leaders complain without recognizing administration efforts. He urged labor leaders to choose free trade support and criticized press coverage of the Pentagon papers.
