said. *Mt is an excellent

and perhaps change to a
cheaper option."
The assemblyman ex-plained

determine which plan is best
suited to their needs.

also addressed by Democrat
Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick, the
chief United States delegate
to the United Nations who
stated that: "1 realize you are
inviting many lifelong
Democrats to join our
common cause." Mrs. Kirk-patrick
further discussed not
only the Democrats failure
to offer the American people
anything new but also their
dismal foreign policy
record, particularly under
President Carter.
On the second night of the
convention the party
adopted its platform. Some
of the items that may be of
particular interest to our
readers include:
CRIME: The platform
plank that deals with crime
is one that seeks the preven-tion
and detection of crime.
The platform also calls for
"Sentencing reform and
secure, adequate prison con-struction."
The platform
continues to state "We con-cur
with the American peo-ple's
approval of capital
punishment where approp-riate
and will assure that is
carried out humanely."
TAXATION: The party-has
committed itself to
maintaining the current tax
reforms and reductions cur-rently
in effect. The plat-form
further states: "The
Republican Party pledges to
continue our efforts to lower
tax rates, change and mod-ernize
the tax system and
eliminate the incentive des-troying
effects of graduated
tax rates. We therefore sup-port
tax reform that will
lead to a fair and simple tax
system.
E D U C A T I O N A ND
YOUTH: On this issue the
platform states "Restoring
local control of education
will allow parents to resume
the exercise of their respon-sibility
for the basic educa-tion,
discipline and moral
guidance of their children."
The third session was the
actual roll call nomination,
of the Presidential and Vice-
Presidential Candidates.
The fourth session of the
convention consisted of
President reagan and Vice
President Bush delivering
their acceptance speeches.
President Reagan brought
the crowd to its feet again
and again describing the
improvements of the past
four years: decreasing
unemployment and infla-tion,
and increasing growth
and industry.
Pledging continued sup-port
for the State of Israel,
the President noted the
renewed respect and dignity
of our nation in the eyes of
foreign nations during the
last four years.
President Reagan stated
that he voted for Franklin
Rooseveh in 1932. Since
then, like many Americans,
he did not leave the party,
the party abandoned him..
Inviting the American peo-ple
to join him in the New
Republican Party, the Pres-ident
summed up the feel-ings
of the convention wel-coming
people to a house of
many rooms with no room
for bigots or those who
would destroy this Country
with their hatred.
