i believe this was dwight eisenhower himself and not a golf buddy. those of you who know eisenhower history know about his hidden hand techniques from professor fred greenstein of princeton university, that he had a number of press conferences that to the press seemed quite -- he seemed confused but he purposefully directed that confusion to throw the press off course. and he did not want it known who he truly would support but he told the reporter romney was a man in a panic. this was a number of months after romney's famous brainwashed comments and his poll numbers were rapidly declining. rockefeller this time a dove rockefeller had refused to support the '64 candidate, barry goldwater, was not going to be eisenhower's choice. but very interestingly, his former vice president, richard nixon, ike clearly felt was the man most qualified for the job. but he told the reporter that the gop should not necessarily nominate the man most qualified. he wanted the convention to pick a winner, someone who could win over lyndon johnson. and who was the most rece

but the predecessor of him who he yited cited in public the mo dwight eisenhower. the reagan years, the '80s, there were many programs celebrating important anniversaries from the '50s. programs that ike had started. one of which was eisenhower's international sister cities program. so in march of '81, when it was the silver anniversary of that program, president reagan said, i'm sure ike's looking down on us today being very happy with what he's accomplished. similarly, it was the 30th anniversary of eisenhower's food for peace program. by that summer of 1984, that program in which america shipped to needy people in other countries excess food supplies, 653 billion pounds of food had been sent to over 1 is 00 nations which had helped close to 2 billion people. reagan reflecting back on eisenhower's program said, ike picked up a pen and signed a piece of paper that quietly changed the world. ike would be very proud of what his food for peace program has accomplished. critically important -- and if you have one thing to remember out of today, to remember this. eisenh

certainly i would find fault with ronald reagan of the very little that publicly he thanked dwight eisenhower. part of my research i was able to find the actual one moment when he did. listen to a reporter. his words are a little garbled at the beginning. he asks ronald reagan if eisenhower's use of the term "common sense" might be a good campaign theme. >> some expression i like, general eisenhower said we are the party of common sense. he thinks that would be a great slogan for us. >> well, i tell you, i used a slogan at a campaign in california years ago, and i agree with it. matter of fact, he was the inspiration for it. >> he was the inspiration for it, his direct attribution to the reporter of the critical importance of eisenhower to him. now what happens in the summer of '68, i know i'm not spending very much time on that convention. eventually eisenhower does endorse richard nixon. richard nixon actually went to eisenhower to ask for his endorsement, and the two families were getting together. david eisenhower, ike's grandson, was about to marry julie nixon, nixon's daughter. what els
