    "ocrText": "Page 2 - #7\nMr. Hensley.\nQUESTION: Mr. President, at the time or shortly after\nyour appointment of Mr. Burger to the Supreme Court, it was\nsaid that you hoped, insofar as possible, to avoid appoint-\nments which would become controversial. The nomination\nof Judge Haynsworth has become controversial to a certain\nextent.\nTHE PRESIDENT: Yes, I understand.\nQUESTION: Has this become controversial enough to lead\nyou to withdraw the nomination of Judge Haynsworth?\nTHE PRESIDENT: No, I do not intend to withdraw the\nnomination of Judge Haynsworth. I studied his record as\nit was submitted to me by the Attorney General before I\nsent the nomination to the Senate.\nI have also noted the various items that have been\nbrought up during the course of his hearings in the Senate.\nI still have confidence in Judge Haynsworth's qualifications,\nin his integrity. I believe that the Senate should approve\nhim. I believe it will. I believe that he will be a great\ncredit to the Supreme Court when he becomes a member of that\nCourt, I hope in the Fall Term.\nMr. Horner.\nQUESTION: Mr. President, what is your view, sir,\nconcerning the student moratorium and other campus demon-\nstrations being planned for this fall against the Vietnam\nwar?\nTHE PRESIDENT: I have often said that there is really\nvery little that we in Washington can do with regard to\nrunning the university and college campuses of this country.\nWe have enough problems running the nation, the national\nproblems.\nNow, I understand that there has been and continues to\nbe opposition to the war in Vietnam on the campuses, and\nalso in the nation. As far as this kind of activity is\nconcerned, we expect it. However, under no circumstances\nwill I be affected whatever by it."
