CHOOSE WARNER AS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

Virginia will choose the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate on June 11. It is an easy choice: Sen. John Warner.

As an aid in making this choice, ask: ``Do I choose a person who puts loyalty to his country first or loyalty to his party first?''

Senator Warner has a fine record of service to his country and to its people, the people he is elected to serve: the people of Virginia.

He supports our military personnel, both those on active duty and those in retirement. He has voted to reduce federal spending and deficits. He has worked diligently to create jobs for Virginians - in industry, technology, agriculture and the environment.

Ask yourself, ``Do I choose a person with an established record of service or a novice without such a record?''

On June 11, we will choose. I support John Warner. He will work for us and for the good of Virginia. We will not be sorry.
