But you mistakenly give the impression that I might be in some degree receptive to Governor Rockefeller's current calculated drive to gain the 1968 G.O.P. nomination.

Senate liberals had condemned the plan as "class legislation" since it did nothing to help low-income families, whose tax payments are small.
