TRANSCRIPT: (SEQ. 3): CURTIS SPEAKS: "MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. YOU REPUBLICAN DELEGATES TO THIS CONVENTION AND REPUBLICANS EVERYWHERE... YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH. YOU ARE THE HOPE OF MANKIND. I SHALL VOTE "NO" ON THE SEARS SUBSTITUTE. AND I SHALL VOTE "AYE" ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF 1960"



TRANSCRIPT: (SEQ. 5): VOTING: "ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE... ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO. THE NO'S HAVE IT. AND THE RESOLUTION IS DEFEATED."



TRANSCRIPT: (SEQ. 7): REPORTER: "GOVERNOR, ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT SENATOR GOLDWATER IS INVOLVED IN SOME EXTREMIST PLOT TO TAKE OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?"



SCRANTON: "I'M NOT INVOLVING THE SENATOR DIRECTLY. BUT HE HAS NOT, AS YOU KNOW, DISAVOWED THE JOHN BIRCH SUPPORT THAT HE IS RECEIVING, TO THAT OF (GARBLED) HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY STRONG INDEED; NOR HAS HE DISAVOWED THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONS OF THAT TYPE, INCLUDING THE JOHN BIRCHERS OF TAKING OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. AS A MATTER OF FACT HIS LIEUTENANT ON THE PLATFORM COMMITTEE HAVE REFUSED TO PUT IN AN ANTI-EXTREMIST CLAUSE IN OUR PLATFORM."



TRANSCRIPT: (SEQ. 8): REPORTER: "SENATOR, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS THIS MORNING ON THE LETTER YOU RECEIVED FROM GOVERNOR SCRANTON LAST NIGHT?"



GOLDWATER: "I HAD NO THOUGHTS ABOUT IT."



REPORTER: "DO YOU THINK HIS FORCES HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A SECRET BALLOT ON THE NOMINATIONS THEY SAY THEY WILL TRY TO WIN?"



GOLDWATER: "A SECRET BALLOT WOULD BE VERY UNDEMOCRATIC, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ELECTED THESE DELEGATES TO COME HERE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW HOW THEY VOTE. A SECRET BALLOT IN A GENERAL ELECTION IS FINE BUT A SECRET BALLOT AT A CONVENTION IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG. THEY WON'T GET THERE."



REPORTER: "HOW DOES A CANDIDATE FEEL AS THE MOMENT OF DECISION APPROACHES?"



GOLDWATER: "OH, I'M SCARED TO DEATH I GUESS... LIKE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN."
