Description
This film is an excerpt of a speech given by Richard Nixon at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, at the Republican "dinner with Ike" celebration. In the speech, Nixon emphasizes the importance of distinguishing constructive criticism from the act of misclassifying the U.S. military strength as “second rate.” He concludes that political critics of the U.S., in particular Nikita Khrushchev, should not underestimate U.S. military strength.
"Dinner with Ike" took place in 83 cities, and President Dwight Eisenhower participated at the Pan-Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles.
