740 ADDRESSES AND STATE PAPERS
Q. Governor, have you decided what to do with the Rockefeller
headquarters you set up here?
A. Well it's — you mean the one in Annapolis? — that's going to be
closed. Naturally, we want to answer the letters and take care of the
business that's left over before it's closed, but it will be closed very
shortly.
Q. Governor, in talking with Mr. Nixon what issues do you think
are going to be uppermost in your own mind?
A. In my mind I want to get a greater understanding of his position
on domestic issues. I think I have seen much of what he has had to
say about Viet Nam and the foreign situation, but I am not really
clear in my own mind about where he stands on the problems of the
urban areas and other very vital domestic considerations with respect
to spending, and other matters that I'd like to be made more fully
aware of his position on.
Q. Are you implying that you are clear on where he stands on Viet
Nam?
A. I am not any better enlightened about the solution for ending
the war than you are, and I don't expect that I'll be entrusted with
that information. I'm not even going to solicit it, as a matter of fact,
but I think generally we know more about where he stands on the
war than maybe where Senator Kennedy stands or other people who
are campaigning for their nomination.
(Bowie State and Morgan)
Q. Governor, just a point of clarification here. Would you apply
what you said about Bowie State to the situation that occurred at
Morgan State the week before?
A. Well, I think all of these matters have some relationship. I don't
consider the Bowie State problem to be in any context a racial prob-
lem. I think it's a problem related to a fear on the part of the stu-
dents that the actual administration of the college affairs, and the
wherewithal to do the administering, is second class. They don't blame
Dr. Myers but they do have some things in mind to correct it. Now
the students at Morgan had told Dr. Jenkins they've got some criti-
cisms. I have talked with him both before and since his meeting with
those students and I am inclined to agree with him that some of the
complaint will lead to constructive correction of situations that can
be changed. Other complaints may not have as good a basis in fact,
