The Honorable Ernest Gruening
Federal Building
Anchorage, Alaska
Dear Senator Gruening:
Recently I was shown a copy of a “list” of comments I
have made during this campaign which you claim are not true.
The individual who showed me this “list” did not give me a copy
of it If you will provide me with a copy of the ‘list,” I will
publicly apologize to you if any statement of fact that I have
made cannot be substantiated.
It is my understanding that you intend to use this list pub
licly the day before the election, when it would be too late
for me to explain. I have tried to give you plenty of time to
answer the charges I have made publicly. If you do not show
me the same courtesy, it would be grossly unfair.
Again I challenge you to meet and debate with me, and
I would be willing to use, as the subject of this debate, the list
of the items you say are not true.
Respectfully,
Ted Stevens
Republican Candidate for
U. S. Senator from Alaska
