San Diego may be kickoff point
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) —
President Nixon, who once
wanted to win renomination in
San Diego, may still launch his
re-election campaign in what he
has called his “lucky city,” an
aide said Wednesday.
Presidential counsellor Robert
Finch said Nixon has indicated
that he wants to come to San
Diego when the Republican
National Convention ends Aug. 23
in Miami Beach, Fla.
A decision about whether to use
San Diego for a nationally
televised public kickoff to the
1972 campaign probably will be
made next week, Finch said in an
interview.
It depends in part on
arrangements for a trip to Japan
for conferences between Nixon
and the new Japanese prime
minister, said Finch, adding that

Nixon probably will spend a week
in Southern California as soon as
the convention is over.
If San Diego is chosen, Finch
said it would serve to make
amends for the Republican
party’s decision in May moving
the 1972 convention to Miami
Beach. Several party leaders in
San Diego have been upset about
the site change after a year of
planning.
Nixon launched his 1968
campaign in San Diego, about 55
miles south of what now is his
Western White House at San
Clemente.
A San Diego businessman and
Nixon backer, Albert
Harutunian, told a reporter:
“The President started out here
successfully in 1968 and he would
be missing a bet if he doesn’t do it
again.”
Finch was in San Diego for a
round of speeches and public
appearances.
