THREE POINTS -- DANFORTH OF MISSOURI
1. He can do more for Missouri. Since he will work with the
President rather than against him, he can -- through coopera-
tion -- do more for his State. He can get things done in
Washington.
2. He understands the issues of today. In 1970, the issues are
new -- crime, drugs, the environment. Since he has had
experience in law enforcement, Danforth has a special knowl-
edge of these issues. As a young man, he brings a contemporary
outlook to today's problems.
3. He will support the President's reform program -- especially
welfare reform and revenue sharing.

STATEMENT FOR MISSOURI -- TO BE RELEASED
The people of Missouri have an extraordinary opportunity in
1970: the chance to vote for a change by sending to the Senate an
exceptionally able, aggressive young leader. I am proud to give
John Danforth my strong endorsement, and I look forward to working
with him in achieving progress for Missouri and for the Nation.
As Missouri's crusading Attorney General, John Danforth has
shown both the State and Nation that he knows how to meet the problems
of crime, drugs and disorder with firmness and justice. He understands
the urgency of rescuing our natural environment. He brings the per-
spective of the 1970s to the needs of the 1970s.
For Missouri, the election of John Danforth would be a long step
toward effective and responsible two-party government -- and it would
mean representation in the Senate by a man in tune with the State and
in tune with the times.
For the Nation, the election of John Danforth would bring to the
Senate the kind of voice that it needs: a voice of reason and firmness
that understands what today's issues are and what they require.
In the Senate, John Danforth will help us put an end to the reck-
less spending that feeds inflation and erodes the dollar. He will help
-2-
make this an era of reform: reform of government, reform of welfare,
reform of the old system that drained power and responsibility away
from the States and away from the people. He has given strong support
to our initiatives for a just and honorable peace in Vietnam, and he will
help us attain our goal of achieving in the world what Americans have
not had in this century: a full generation of peace.
The people of Missouri can be proud to be represented in the United
States Senate by John Danforth. And his voice and his vote will make the
Senate a more effective chamber in the 1970s.

SUGGESTED REMARKS FOR MISSOURI
Mark Twain once described Missouri as "the grandest country --
the loveliest land -- the purest atmosphere. 11 Today, with all of our
concern about the environment, we can take Twain's words and say
that should be our goal for all America. And I come here today to
support a young man who is alert to the new issues of the day --
issues like the problem of our environment. I have come to support
John Danforth for the United States Senate.
This is a time -- as never before -- when we need new perspec-
tive, new outlook, new approaches, new energy, an alertness to the
new issues in the United States Senate. And one man who can bring
all those qualities to Washington with him is John Danforth.
Among the most serious issues of today are the problems of
crime and violence and disruption and drug abuse. These problems
seem incomprehensible and overwhelming at times -- but John Dan-
forth is a young man who has dealt with them as a law enforcement
officer -- and the insights he will bring to Washington will help not
only the people of Missouri, but all the people of America.

Kansas City has been the victim of severe floods from the
Missouri and Kansas rivers in the past. Yet Kansas City people
always rebuild their city and make it better than it was before. We
feel that the pending emergency disaster assistance legislation will
enable Kansas City and other American communities to use Federal
assistance more effectively in rebuilding and recovering after a
disaster.
An old Missouri saying is "I'm from Missouri, show me, " and
Missouri is known as the "Show Me State. " This saying was turned
around last year when the world champion Kansas City Chiefs showed
all the other professional football teams how its done. I have to be
neutral in such cases, but let's just say I wish the Chiefs all the
best luck this year.
I notice that - - once again -- the great American Royal Livestock
and Horse Show is under way here in Kansas City. In 1968 I was in
Kansas City at this time of year, and spoke to the Future Farmers
of America. And Pat -- who was a 4-H girl, and once won a prize
for some hogs she raised -- is honorary chairwoman of the 4-H
clubs and I know that some of the best of young America is always
represented at the American Royal.
