"(Sen. Robert) Morgan cannot deny the
truth. The United States is no longer No. 1
in defense. And as Sen. Jesse Helms points
out, America's lack of defense capability
invites Soviet expansion.
"Robert Morgan and I differ on national
defense because I recognize the threat to
peace posed by growing Soviet military
superiority. And I will work to reverse this
trend and regain American defense
superiority to keep the peace."
John East
This emphasis on American military
supremacy is the heart of Republican John
Easfs senatorial campaign. In television
advertisements and in public speeches, he
has attacked U.S. Sen. Robert Morgan's
attitude toward foreign and defense
policy issues. Specifically, East faults
Morgan's support of:
the Panama Canal treaties "By
voting to give up the Panama Canal, Mr.
Morgan gave in to international blackmail
and weakened America's resolve in the
eyes of the rest of the world," East said.
$75 million in aid to Nicaragua
"The Marxist government in Nicaragua
has jailed political opponents and
enforced vigorous censorship of a free
press. There is a strong possibility that
Nicaragua may be used as a base by
Cuban Communists in a future attempt to
encircle and cut off the vital Mexican oil
fields."
discontinuing the B-1 bomber
"President Carter and Mr. Morgan
canceled the B-1 bomber (which was)
needed to improve our (defense)
capability." Morgan, however, maintains
that he supported B-1 production until
Carter decided to cancel the project, and
said other conservative senators joined
him in ending its appropriations.
While the more visible focus of East's
campaign is foreign policy, the East
Carolina University political science
professor is equally conservative in
domestic policy. His political stance
differs little from that of Sen. Jesse Helms,
R-N.C, who strongly supports him.

For instance, one campaign brochure
links Morgan with Patricia Harris, who is
labeled an "anti-tobacco bureaucrat."
East favors protective tariffs on imported
tobacco and opposes the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services' anti
smoking campaign.
East, also favors exempting farmers and
livestock owners from consumer agency
controls and giving agricultural interests
priority in the event of gas rationing.
Calling Morgan a "big spender," East
opposes deficit spending and favors cuts
in the federal budget He offers voters a
broad conservative perspective instead of
specific goals on specific issues.
. Born in Springfield, III., East attended
Earlham College in Indiana and was a first
lieutenant in the Marine Corps before
polio confined him to a wheelchair in
1955. He graduated from the University of
Illinois law school in 1959 but quickly
became dissatisfied with law practice.
After receiving master's and doctoral
degrees from the University of Florida, he
joined the East Carolina faculty in 1964.
Morgan has criticized East for running a
negative campaign and misrepresenting
the . incumbent's position on various
issues.
. East insists that he has a good chance to
unseat the Democrat, despite Morgan's
prediction that he will carry 93 of the
state's 100 counties. The conservative
Congressional Club, which is handling a
number of Republican campaigns in the
state, is betting on East and officials say
he is the Republican with the best chance
to beat a Democrat this year.
