Senator Peter H. Dominick (R-Colo.) answers questions from an unidentified interviewer on June 30, 1971. Sen. Dominick discusses the federal oil shale program including oil leases and the development of environmental safeguards. Dominick talks about his opposition to the Emergency Employment Act of 1971 and how he would reduce unemployment through skills re-training and revenue sharing to promote business growth instead. He also talks about the Mansfield Amendment, which would require President Richard M. Nixon to set a date for withdrawing troops from Indochina, legislation to extend the draft, and increasing military pay to achieve a volunteer army.
