Our generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny just as much as the generation of 1933 whom Franklin Roosevelt addressed in his inaugural speech.

So in a very real sense, we are all involved.

I want them to wonder what the President of the United States is doing.

I think in 1960 the cause of all mankind is the cause of America.

I am very grateful for the Governor's generous remarks, and his kind analogy with Mr. Perry.

I think our future can be assured, but I think we have a responsibility to ourselves and to those who look to us to move in this country.

The next 10, 15, or 20 years may determine the outcome.

Are we going to move forward or are we going to stand still?

I think the job of the next President will be more difficult than any President since Abraham Lincoln.

I supported title 3 in 1957, and in 1960, and we were defeated in both cases.

My invitation to you is to join in building the prestige of the United States, in recognizing that we stand today on the razor edge of decision, and so does the world, and recognizing that if we succeed, we succeed not only for ourselves…

My program is brief: that is to strengthen this country.

I am not trying to run America down; I am trying to build America up.

I ask your help in this campaign, and I can assure you that if we are successful, we are going to work to make the United States not first if, but, or when, but first, period.

Mr. Nixon says I am running America down.

The vigor and leadership of the President is an ingredient in national strength, but in the final analysis it is the sum of the total that counts.

I say in 1960, let's look at the record.

I stand for full employment in the United States.
