...personal taxes--and his support throughout the 60s for the Vietnam War as dampers on his appeal. But Anderson supporters are attracted by this man who does not hesitate to admit his mistakes or his frustrations. His vehement opposition to the proposed MX missile, the B-1 bomber and the draft, and his equally vocal support of SALT II and a carefully planned foreign policy have gained him more than a few recruits...
Like Reagan, Crane favors the Kemp-Roth tax bill, development of the MX missile, the B-1 bomber, the neutron bomb, nuclear energy, the decontrol of oil, the prohibition of abortion and the easing of environmental regulations to allow the burning of coal...

His record on civil rights has been particularly distinguished; it was his vote in April, 1968 that allowed President Johnson's open housing bill to get through the Rules Committee. But on the economy, the domestic policy area over which a president has most direct control, Anderson remains a conservative, a man who believes a balanced budget is the primary goal...
