USA: PRESIDENT NIXON EXPLAINS THE APPOINTMENT OF DEMOCRAT JOHN CONNALLY AS TREASURY SECRETARY
- Title: USA: PRESIDENT NIXON EXPLAINS THE APPOINTMENT OF DEMOCRAT JOHN CONNALLY AS TREASURY SECRETARY
- Date: 15th December 1970
- Summary: 1. GV Capitol Building 0.13 2. SCU Nixon (SOF) & Connally (SOF) 1.12 TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 2: NIXON: "At home or abroad, whether its a strong national defence or a strong foreign policy or a strong economy, they are not Republican problems or Democratic problems -- they are American problems. And we need to approach those problems with a bipartisan spirit. John Connally brings into this cabinet, at the very highest level, the viewpoint of a very great American, in my opinion, but also he brings the viewpoint of a leading member of the Democratic Party. It means that he will be able to present our programmes, both at home and abroad, not simply as partisan programmes, but as programmes that both Democrats and Republicans, we believe, can support." CONNALLY: "I could not agree more that these are troublesome times, not only in matters of foreign affairs, but in domestic affairs as well. And I consider it a great privilege at any time to be able to serve my country in a capacity such as this." Initials AH/DW/SGM/0053 AH/DW/SGM/0100 Script is copyright Reuters Limited.
