SEPTEMBER 30,WLWI STUDIOS,INDIANAPOLIS,INDIANA,FIRST OF FOUR PRESIDENTAL DEBATES
Welcome to the first of four presidential debates of the 1968 election.The question will be asked by our panel of writers,but now to introduce our top four presidential choices.
From the Democrat Party,Mr. Robert F. Kennedy,Senator from New York.
From the Republican Party,Mr. Jim Rhodes,Governor of Ohio.
From the American Independent Party,Mr George Wallace,Governor of Alabama.
And lastly,from the Union Party,Mr. Nelson Rockefeller,Governor of New York.
First question:"What do the think of the demise of the Communist Cuba?"
Kennedy:"We put another problem out of the agenda of the US.This is a great victory for the free world.Now we can deal with other problems,and this could be a death blow to the Warsaw Pact."
Rhodes:"This country was so close to war with Cuba and the United States probably made the right choice to bomb Havana and to set up a provisional government there."
Wallace:"It is the wrong decision because this could be a nuclear war between the Soviets and the Americans.The Soviets could be planning a land invasion."
Rockefeller:"One enemy down because there are bunches of Communists nations out there that we need to beat before the Soviets collapse.
Question:"What do you think about the end of the Vietnam War?"
Kennedy:"This nation was happy when they heard about the war ending. This great victory could lead this nation into prosperity."
Rhodes:"Uniting Vietnam is a great victory for NATO.We will have wars ahead,but none can be as more opposed as America's Longest War."
Wallace:"Even though we are adding an ally,the Soviets are greeting the end of the war with backlash because Minh said that the Soviets did not help him as much as he wanted."
Rockefeller:"A great victory,but it is a start for a much more angrier Soviet Union."
