Transcription

Pardon me a little bit. This is Howard Baker. When you focus on Iowa's beauty, you see America's strength. America should be feeding the world. We should start a new trade offensive in our farm program. And I want a vice president who knows how to promote farm exports to run the program. Like your farms, your caucuses on the 21st make Iowa something special in this land. And I hope you'll take part. So we can bring back the America that was something special in this world.
