Barry Denies Speech Attacking Radical Right
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., says a speech attributed to him by the Congressional Record—in part, attacking the "radical right"—was not made by him after all, although he agrees with the remarks.
Goldwater had the speech inserted in the record but the issue in which it appeared said it was made by Goldwater at Montclair, N.J., on Aug. 24.
Some of the statements caused raised eyebrows around Washington—particularly because of some strong statements about the "radical right" and such groups as the John Birch Society.
HE SAID THE speech actually was given by Gerald J. Skibbins, a Princeton, N.J., research executive, at Montclair. "Although I am in agreement with the remarks of Mr. Skibbins, I want to make it clear that I am not the author of them," Goldwater said.
The record made a mistake in attributing it to him, said the GOP presidential front-runner.
Goldwater's office explained further that the Senator, upon receiving permission to have the speech published in the record, handed it to a Senate aide. He said it was properly labeled as having been delivered by Skibbins, but somehow Skibbins' name was dropped between the Senate floor and the government printing office.
SKIBBINS' speech was a long dissertation on "marks of Conservative political thought in America," dealing with the "far right reactionaries" as well as other groups.
These are some of the statements that created something of a political stir:
"Many Americans squirm when they hear the label 'Conservative' because they think of pre-World War II isolationism, John Birch Society members, America Firsters, Segregationists, Ku Klux Klanmen, and many other little groups who feel that freedom means an extralegal hunting or hating license rather than a responsible privilege held under the law.
