Title
Proposed Statement to Mexican Americans, dated 1972
Description
A 1972 outline of a proposed speech in which Tower would describe his plans to facilitate greater equality for Mexican-Americans in Texas. Tower would argue for the necessity of bilingual education, increased affirmative action legislation, and the governmental support of organizations such as the League of United Latin American Citizens. Of particular note in this document is the visibility of the revision process. Several versions of the speech are included, each annotated by Tower's speechwriting staff.
