Every single change has been a positive change.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950, as amended.

I have made some major changes in my Cabinet.

Proposed legislation to establish a solar energy development bank and proposed energy tax incentives.

I am well pleased with all the changes that have been made.

As President, I am also determined to maintain America's leadership in space.

I need the full support of the American people in the future.

I'm going to depend upon the FFA to take the lead in energy conservation.

You have, indeed, demonstrated that major public service can exemplify both competence and compassion.

The search for such understanding demands the aggressive development of new knowledge.

Our national investment in scientific research is returned to us many times over in the advances it generates.

I accept your resignation with great appreciation for the excellent service you have rendered at the Treasury.

I admire the strength and steadfastness with which you have presented your views.

Progress does not just happen.

You have been a leading example of the readiness of prominent Americans from the private sector to render service in the public interest.

The policies you have helped me mold and implement...have all been right and necessary for the wellbeing of the United States and our place in the world economy.

Much of our social and economic progress depends upon a firm base of science and technology.

I accept your resignation with a genuine feeling of appreciation and of recognition for your notable accomplishments as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
