...Senator said that dissent is not limited "to a handful of unkempt yippies raising hell," but "lies deep within this nation's vitals." He endorsed the October 15 Moratorium in the hope that it might "give the President that essential broad base of constructive support which will enable him to move with boldness, decision and dispatch to do the nation's obvious bidding...
