through a~igh-ranking Democratic politician, Senate Majority Leader
Mike Mansfield of Montana.
And while diligently pursuing peace through the proper diplomatic
channels we should be doing everything possible to cut off the shipping
~ies to North Vietnam. The Administration has finally blacklisted
such vessels flying the flags of the Free World but only after being
pushed into it by months and months of Republican protest.
What would we Republicans do in the Vietnam situation? We would

doggedly use every proper means, milita:(and diplomati~, to achieve a
prompt, just, and secure peace.
This is Jerry Ford, your congressman, signing off until next week,
same time, same station.
