Additional Description

Transcription - Full

Hello, I'm Dr. Benjamin Spock. I'm a children's doctor, but I'm interested not only in the physical care of children, but in their security, their education, and their future. Too many of our children go to inadequate schools, mainly because local school boards have reached the limit of their borrowing power. That's why we need federal aid to education. I'm for Senator Kennedy because in his 14 years in the House and the Senate, he's worked hard for aid for education, for scholarships, for public libraries. On the other hand, Mr. Nixon as vice president, as senator, as representative, has voted regularly the other way. I think the record is very clear. Senator Kennedy has also been a leader in the effort to get medical care for retired people. In this and in other matters, he's shown that he means what he says, and I'm wholeheartedly for him.
