stance for Kennedy - especially where
domestic policy was concerned.
On foreign issues he extended an
olive branch to both the Russians and
Iran, while warning that the nation
must build up its conventional weapons
system and its military presence in the
Middle East.
THE STUDENT audience gave the
speech a warm reception, but saved its
biggest hand for Kennedy's opposition
to Carter's proposal for renewing the
draft registration. Kennedy said it
would only produce a "paper curtain
against the Soviet Union," while still
taking six months to train recruits.
On Iran, Kennedy called for im
mediate creation of a U.N. commission
to investigate the crimes of the deposed
shah - but he said the probe should not
begin until the hostages are freed
unharmed.
