The presiding officer the senator for oregon. Mr. Wyden mr. President , i rise in support for this resolution, the democratic leader. We are calling for an end to a horribl horribly flawed investigation, attempts to poison it with disinformation and to sew distrust are an established matter of fact.

Homeland security and Government Affairs committee, led by our colleague from wisconsin, chairman john
The major candidates for president of the United States at the same time and never, until this series, have americans seen the candidates in facetoface exchange. Tonight, the candidates have agreed to devote the full hour to answering questions on any issue of the campaign. And here tonight are the republican candidate, Vice President richard m. Nixon. And the democratic candidate, senator john f. Kennedy.
