I have been asked by many Wisconsin Democrats about my position on a
number of key state and national issues and the direction of my potential
voting on resolutions and issues before the Democratic National Committee
should I be elected National Committeewoman from Wisconsin.
1. CIVIL RIGHTS
I believe in, and would work for, the enactment of the major
recommendations of the President's Commission on Civil Disorders.  I believe
that racial discrimination and abject poverty still exists in America and that
the major causes of our past riots and those that I fear are yet to come, are
the result of a century of indifference and disregard of the Negroe's rights.
I would urge the passage of appropriation measures that are recommended by the
President's Commission as the only way that America can solve it's most
desperate dilemma,
2. VIET NAM
I am 100$ in favor of President Johnson's recent order restraining the
bombing of North Viet Nam and the de-escalation brought about as a result of
his decision so that peace negotiations can proceed. I am in favor of the
President's apparent position (as well as that of Senators McCarthy and
Kennedy) to include the National Liberation Front in the negotiation
discussions and to recognize their interest in any peace agreements reached
between ourselves and North Viet Nam.
3.
HOUSING PROGRAM
I am in favor of the passage of the Senate Sub Committee on Housing's
recommendation of the President's proposed $8 billion housing program for
low-income families and the elderly. This housing program would not only
Include the city and ghetto poor but also the rural poor of America.
k.     DRUG CONTROL LEGISLATION
I am In favor of the passage of the drug control bill that Senator
Nelson, Senator Hart and Senator Long have proposed, reducing not only the
enormous profiteering in the drug Industry but also enacting controls on  the
marketing of relatively untried and potentially dangerous drugs to the
American people.
5. TEACHER CORPS
I am In favor of dramatic increases in the appropriation for Senator
Nelson's Teacher Corps program. This program has been severely cut because
of the Viet Nam War but I would urge that in spite of the war expenditures
that the Teacher Corps budget be fully reinstated. I would also ask the
same for the Headstart program which has been drastically retrenched
financially.
6. AGRICULTURE
I am in favor of Senator Mondale's bill on assistance In marketing
for American farmers, particularly as it relates to the family farm and the
farmer's right to bargain collectively.
