Statement in Support of Republican Candidates in New Mexico.

THE NATION and the State of New Mexico need Andy Carter in the United States Senate and Pete Domenici in the statehouse. I am proud to give them my endorsement.

Andy Carter is a man who will stand with the national administration in Washington as we take our positions on the great issues of our time. He is a man who believes that the Nation must maintain a strong defense posture. He also takes a strong stand against lawlessness and violence at home. When Andy Carter becomes the junior Senator from the "Land of Enchantment," he will provide a fresh voice in Washington, a voice of which all New Mexicans will be proud.

Pete Domenici comes before the voters of New Mexico with a strong and specific platform, a positive program that will bring more jobs, better education, and greater safety to the people of this State. He is already a proven leader, a man with invaluable experience in local government. He is a man who will do more for New Mexico when he becomes your: Governor.

I regard both Andy Carter and Pete Domenici as good friends of the Nixon administration. They and all the Republican candidates in this State deserve your support on November 3d.
