September 6, 1972
Shriver Visit to Machinists' Convention -- 9/11/72
-- Have leaflet printed showing McGovern's votes against
Lockheed, SST, and Space Shuttle. Show how he voted against
virtually every aerospace project that was ever proposed.
-- He voted to eliminate the SST in 1969, 1970, and 1971.
-- He voted to eliminate the Space Shuttle program in 1970,
1971.
-- He has voted either against or in favor of drastically
reducing NASA funding.
-- He voted to terminate the F-14 program and wants to
terminate the F-15 program.
In virtually every instance, George McGovern has voted to
make America second-best in aerospace and to cut thousands of
jobs out from under wage-earners. He is the worst enemy the
workingman ever had and certainly the worst enemy the Machinists
have ever had.
Leaflets should be handed out to all Machinists at their convent ion.
Also to local press and to press covering McGovern.
If possible, some union members ought to be encouraged to
criticize McGovern for cutting out job S.
Can some signs be whipped up to greet Shriver when he goes to
the convention?
QUESTIONS FOR SHRIVER ON MEET THE PRESS
Mr. Shriver: It is no secret to you that your wife is adamantly
opposed to liberalized abortion laws. And you were quoted
as saying that you, too, differed from Senator McGovern on this
question, although in 1970 you said that were you Governor in
Maryland you would have signed the liberal abortion law which
>
'hen being considered.
As you know, Senator McGovern has said "no law should
in the way" of the implementation of open abortion policies
at if he were President he would make abortions freely
in military hospitals -- a policy President Nixon reversed.
I.F issue is of great moral concern to thousands of Americans.
you going to accept Senator McGovern's open abortion position?
Mr. Shriver: Two years ago you said that marijuana is no worse
than alcohol or nicotine and that it has been viewed with a "double
standard. " (Baltimore Sun, 4/15/70) Do you still hold this view which
amounts to a position which would favor legalized marijuana?
Mr. Shriver: Senator McGovern has said this campaign will be
one on the issues. Two years ago you attacked Vice-President
Agnew saying he "appeals to everything low and mean and bitter
in the American character." (Hartford Courant - 9/23/70) And then
Page 2
you later said, after someone referred to Mr. Agnew as the
"Greek from Baltimore" and that he should be put on a leash:
"I might just add a thought that if they (high elected officials)
don't like (young people) here, maybe they can go back to Greece
with the young people there -- not just to Baltimore, but all
the way bac¹⁻ to Greece." (Washington Post, 10/8/70)
Does t}
unflattering reference to Mr. Agnew's Greek
heritage 20

rhetoric you employed mean that you will continue
