	Without any doubt John Anderson has the most consistent
platform in advocacy for redressing inequalities and assuring the
rights of women and minorities.  If you can get ahold of the
National Unity Party declaration, it is quite strong in its
statements.  Anderson is as close to being a feminist as any
presidential candidate, which does NOT mean he is just pro-women.

	Whether or not you consider him a viable candidate is a
separate question.  If he pulls as many votes as he did four years
ago, they will most assuredly come out of the Democrats' votes;
I can't imagine someone who would vote for Anderson would even
consider Reagan.

	Lest it not be obvious, Reagan is the most strongly anti-
feminist candidate.
