Remarks Upon Arrival in Pittsburgh

November 04, 1960

My friends:

Thank you very much for this welcome, but I must get this record straight. My name is not Dick Groat, it is not Mazeroski--I am not Vern Law.

But I am most sincerely grateful to you for the warmth of this welcome.

I have just come from Cleveland where I saw another great crowd, and I saw the same signs "Vote for Nixon and Lodge."

And that is what I am going to do.

Thank you very much.

Note: The President spoke just before entering the Pittsburgh-Hilton Hotel. In the opening paragraph he referred to members of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team.
