But I must say in all candor his achievements as Secretary of State have highlighted the problem. Why should a citizen of Dr. Kissingers talents be barred from the Presidency? More importantly. why should the American people be denied the right to elect a Kissinger to any office? The same could equally well be said of Professor John Kenneth Galbraith. who was born a Canadian citizen. and of many other distinguished naturalized Americans. I recall that in 1928. when my father. Senator Hiram Blngham. had been mentioned for the GOP nomination for Vice President. a question was raised as to his eligibility because he had been born in the Hawaiian Islands before annexation.
