	Description:	The 1964 Presidential Campaign is officially launched as 100,000 people assemble in Detroit to hear President Johnson's first bid for re-election. He attacks Barry Goldwater's stand on looking at any nuclear weapon as conventional. Meanwhile, Republican candidate Barry Goldwater begins his first swing with a rally in the Los Angeles Dodger's Stadium. He attacks the administration's tax cut while promising a 25% cut of his own if elected. Detroit, Michigan Over 100,000 gather in downtown Detroit to see and hear President Johnson campaigning for re-election. President Johnson standing at the podium.

"Make no mistake there is no such thing as a conventional nuclear weapon. For nineteen peril filled years, no nation has used the atom against another. To do so now would be a political decision of the highest order and it would lead us down an uncertain path of blows and counter blows whose outcome none may know. No President of the United States of America can divest himself of the responsibility for such a decision."
