[1:12] good evening President Nixon comes to
[1:15] this Republican convention hall in Miami
[1:18] Beach tonight to accept his renomination
[1:21] the speech will climax a three-day
[1:24] Republican National Convention that has
[1:26] been Mr Nixon's from the start has
[1:28] produced no surprises to embarrass him
[1:31] this final session also will ratify the
[1:34] President's Choice of Vice President
[1:35] Agnew to again be his running mate
[1:38] right at the moment however there is a
[1:40] story outside and that's the story of
[1:43] the demonstrators a coalition of protest
[1:46] groups hopes to provide Mr Nixon the
[1:48] embarrassment which this confident
[1:50] convention has not they plan
[1:52] demonstrations aimed at blocking the
[1:54] entrance of delegates thereby they hope
[1:57] to forcing the president to speak to
[1:59] empty seats and to provide a
[2:01] confrontation that could not be ignored
[2:04] by the media at the same time that the
[2:07] president was having his big night
[2:08] inside this Hall at least two groups in
[2:11] the Coalition have refused to take a
[2:13] pledge of non-violence they threaten to
[2:14] fight rather than submit to arrest

[2:18] some of the delegates roaming up and
[2:19] down Collins Avenue the street of the
[2:22] great luxury hotels
