Lack of administration action on widespread unemployment will be a major issue in my campaign.

In the 1960's we need a whole new concept of resource development, so vast, so complex, and so essential are our natural resources that they cannot be parceled out piecemeal.

I don't want a second-rate America.

I campaign for the office of the Presidency in a very difficult and dangerous time in the life of our country.

I can assure you that while I do not promise an easy future, I can promise you that the United States will move again.

I want to make it clear that if we are successful in this election, we are going to reverse the policy of no new starts, and move ahead to make sure that those who follow in our trail have the same advantages that we have.

At our present rate of urban renewal it will take over 50 years to wipe out the substandard dwellings already in existence - and at the end of that time we will have even more substandard dwellings than we have now.

We will encourage the economical production of timber for the Nation's homes and industry by giving the small forest owner and small logger an even break-through providing forest products price reporting by the Department of Agriculture.

We will greatly expand our current efforts to apply modern science and technology to both the discovery of new uses for wood and the development of more efficient methods of timber production and cultivation.

We will step up the effort to clear our slums, renew our cities, and expand other housing programs.

We will reform the mortgage insurance program of the Federal Housing Administration so that it will stimulate the construction of housing at all income levels.

It is time for a fresh and imaginative program to resolve the problems of our Nation's timber industry - and to meet the desperate housing needs of millions of Americans.

It is time, in short, for a Democratic program - and we have such a program - and in 1961 we are going to put it into action.

I think that President Eisenhower is not running this year, and Governor Rockefeller was not nominated.

General Gavin has estimated that within the next few years there will be a much greater and closer tie between the two services because of their dependence on common weapons and with a common mission.

As a result reforestation has been virtually halted - access roads have gone unbuilt - and millions of acres of valuable timber have been neglected or allowed to decay.

I promise that I will give you an opportunity to serve your country, to demonstrate that our cause and the cause of freedom all over the world are intertwined together.

I do not agree with Mr. Khrushchev when he says he is going to bury us.
