STATEMENT FOR NORTH DAKOTA -- TO BE RELEASED
In each of the four elections in which I have been on the national
ticket, North Dakota has been one of the top States for the Republican
Party. It is my hope that history will repeat itself in 1970 and that
North Dakota will prove that it is once again a top Republican State by
electing Tom Kleppe to the United States Senate.
North Dakota is a strong agricultural State and it is appropriate
that it has produced in Tom Kleppe one of the leading experts in Congress
on the problems of the farmer. As an enterprising member of the
Agriculture Committee in the House of Representatives, Tom Kleppe
has earned an outstanding reputation as an informed and articulate
defender of the farmers' interests. He deserves much of the credit,
for example, for the maintenance of 100 percent of parity on domestic
wheat. Tom Kleppe stood with the Administration when we asked the
Congress for "action now" on the Farm Bill this autumn. Unfortunately,
the answer we got back from the Democratic Congress was "wait until
later. "
Tom Kleppe is also a strong Administration supporter on other
issues. His voting record shows that again and again he has said "No"
to the Congressional "Big Spenders. 11 In the area of foreign policy,
Tom Kleppe has consistently supported the Administration's strategy
-2-
to end the war and win the peace in Vietnam and around the world.
When Tom Kleppe is elected to the United States Senate, North
Dakota will be represented there by two great Republican leaders,
Tom Kleppe and Milton Young. The voters of North Dakota should keep
in mind the fact that if enough Republicans are elected to the Senate this
fall, Milton Young will become Chairman of one of the most important
committees in the Senate - one that vitally affects the people of North
Dakota and of every other State - the Appropriations Committee.
Therefore, a vote for Tom Kleppe for United States Senator is also
a vote for Milton Young as Chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
If the nation is to meet the challenges of the 1970s, then govern-
ment must function as effectively as possible at every level from
the town hall and county courthouse all the way to the national govern-
ment in Washington. The voters of North Dakota can do much to enhance
the effectiveness of national government by electing to the Senate of
the United States another strong member of the Nixon team, Tom Kleppe.

SUGGESTED REMARKS FOR NORTH DAKOTA
Background: North Dakota is the most rural of our States with one-third
of its labor force employed in agricultural pursuits. Unemployment is
only 2.9 percent but the farm economy is hurting nevertheless. A great
deal of Defense money goes into North Dakota, including expenditures
for one of the first Sentinel ABM sites near Grand Forks. The President
last visited North Dakota on July 24, 1970, when he met with Northern
Plains States Governors. The Vice President made a major address in
Minot, North Dakota on September 29th.
I understand that the word "Dakota" comes from a Sioux Indian
word which means "alliance with friends. 11 The Nixon Administration
feels a very close alliance with our friends in North Dakota. And we
hope that alliance will be strengthened by the election of Tom Kleppe.
You know, every time I have been on the ballot, North Dakota
has come through for the Republican Party. Last time around, in
fact, you gave us 56 percent of the vote which was our fourth highest
percentage in the nation. And in 1960, 1956, and in 1952 as well,
North Dakota was always one of the top Republican States. I know that
in 1970, history is going to repeat itself.
'Л
North Dakota is the most agricultural of our States and it is
propriate that I talk here about what happened to our farm bill. We
think it is a good bill and it is shameful that the Congress has delayed
action on it. Let there be no mistake about who blocked action on the
farm bill: it was the opposition party leaders. We asked for action
-2-
now; they said "wait 'til later. 11
Tom Kleppe has served with distinction on the Agriculture Com-
mittee in the House of Representatives. He is the man who fought and
won the battle for 100% of parity on domestic wheat. He knows that the
farmer deserves a fairer break than he has been getting, and he will be
in a better position in the Senate where he can help them get that fair
break.
When Tom Kleppe wins this election, North Dakota will then have
two great Republican members of the United States Senate, to help us
fight inflation at home and win peace with honor abroad.
I noticed that not too many weeks ago your senior Senator, Milton
Young, scored a hole-in-one while he was playing golf at the Burning
Tree Golf Course. I thought that was quite an impressive accomplish-
ment, but then I know that Milton Young has been known for impressive
accomplishments since the day he first came to Washington 24 years ago.
And then it occurred to me that if enough Republicans are elected to the
Senate this fall, Milton Young will become Chairman of one of the most
powerful committees in the Senate, the Appropriations Committee.
Your vote for Tom Kleppe as United States Senator, in other words,
can also be a vote for Milton Young as Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee.
