President Herbert Hoover on TV! (1960)


Back


Wow..I was first surprised to see that a President who was elected in 1928 was still alive to be on TV! While going through some old kinescopes, I came upon this clip of former President Herbert Hoover giving a speech on the opening day of the Republican National Convention held at the International Ampitheater in Chicago, IL. This was the year that Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge were nominated to run against John Kennedy & Lyndon Johnson. (As you know, Nixon lost but later won along with VP Spiro Agnew.) Anyway, here is a clip of 85 year old Hoover's speech to the convention on July 25, 1960. UPDATE: See my recent updates on both the Democratic & Republican National Conventions in late August 2008.
