DUMP-AGNEW MOVEMENT
Q.
Mr. President: Can you give us your thoughts on the
Dump-Agnew Movement within the Republican Party ?
Is there any possibility Mr. Agnew might be dropped
from the ticket in 1972 ?
A.
As I have stated many times, Vice President
Agnew is a loyal, courageous and energetic Vice President
who enjoys my esteem and my confidence. I will not be
drawn, however - - either circuitously or directly -- into
a discussion of the second half of the ticket in 1972 for the
simple and sole reason I am unprepared at this time to discuss
the first half. Any speculation you gentlemen might make
about the ticket in 1972, I can assure the public, will be just
that - - speculation.
Now, as for any Dump-Agnew Movement, if there
is one it has camouflaged itself magnificently -- for I have
yet to learn of its existence. But such movements do occur
from time to time -- as I can attest from personal experience - -
but if there is such a movement in 1972 I am sure its most
enthusiastic supporters will be found among liberal Democrats
and not solid Republicans. And should I decide to run for
re-nomination and re-election in 1972, the choice of a
Vice Presidential running mate will not be made by any
ad hoc committees.
