You represent the United States here on American soil and in your every contact with the people who look to you and say, 'There goes a representative of America.'

Our country is so great and so strong and, I hope, in its attitudes is enlightened, progressive, and also, benevolent.

India sets a moral standard for many of us to emulate.

On these human rights can a world of justice be built, and toward these ends the people of America and the people of India must always work together.

We want the other peoples of the world to benefit from our consultation, our friendship, our standard of moral values, and our hope for world peace.

I know that I will feel at home here because of the things the United States and India have in common.

I'm certainly delighted to begin my own new year by coming here to India to make new friends.

I bring you warm New Year's greetings from the people of the United States.

Iran, because of the great leadership of the Shah, is an island of stability in one of the more troubled areas of the world.

I would like to offer a toast at this time to the great leaders of Iran, the Shah and the Shahbanou and to the people of Iran and to the world peace that we hope together we can help to bring.

Human beings are like parts of a body, created from the same essence.
