"And with his colleague Carl Curtis they make a great team." Nixon added, "If there is one man in the Senate or House who should be known as 'Mr. Law Enforcement', it is Roman Hruska." Claiming that Tiemann has brought new ideas into state government, Nixon said other state governors consider Tiemann as one of the nation's best state chief executives. Nixon, a noted football fan, also singled out Nebraska's Big Red. "I'm somewhat of a foot ball nut," he said.

"While I'm in Nebraska, Nebraska is number one," he said to the delight of the capacity Ak-Sar-Ben crowd. The President never criticiz ed the Democrats in 0 m a h a Thursday as he has done dur ing recent campaign stops. Instead he reminded the au dience of his administration's record on crime, inflation, and the Vietnam War and told them he needs Nebraska Republicans to help his programs in Congress. Nixon stressed his efforts toward disengaging America from Vietnam. "We're bringing the war to an end," remarked Nixon. "Our objective is to have a full generation of peace for Americans." He pointed to increased troop withdrawals and lower war casualties as proof that his ad ministration is achieving his goal of peace. In a prepared statement the President continued his praise for Hruska and Tiemann. "Senator Hruska has been a clear, courageous, creative voice in our attack against the crime and violence which is threatening our nation," said the President.

Nixon stated that the new federalism and his ad ministration's emphasis on rural development will demand the highest kind of dedication and ability from the nation's governors. "As a proven leader in these fields. Governor Tiemann will be, able to make these initiatives succeed, here in Nebraska and across the nation as well." Nixon received no heckling Thursday from the crowd and there were only a few anti Nixon placards in the Coliseum. "Nixon is spiffy" was one of the typical signs that greeted the President.
