EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR HUMPHREY AND HIS WIFE,
TAPED SOON AFTER HIS NOMINATION, TELECAST ON ’TODAY'
NBC CONVENTION CENTRAL, ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 27 — An exclusive interview with Senator Hubert Humphrey and his wife, taped just hours after the Senator received the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination, was telecast on NBC-TV’s ’’Today" show this morning (7-9 a.m. EDT).

Senator Humphrey, in his interview, said he was not "wholly surprised" by the nomination.

"I resolved that after the i960 Presidential primaries to try and be a good Senator, " he said, and added he "threw" himself into the job of being a Senator.
Mrs. Humphrey said she would very much like to participate in her husband's campaign.
Senator and Mrs. Humphrey were interviewed by "Today" host Hugh Downs and NBC News correspondent Ray Scherer.
