I am determined to do my level best, in a spirit of compromise and in a spirit of outreach, to get an agreement that puts a stop to this congressional spending binge.

I am pleased, because its enactment is a reflection of what Congress can accomplish when skillful and dedicated leaders of both Houses work closely together in a common cause.

What we need is what is best for America; Democrats, Republicans all joining together for what is best for America.

Democrats as well as Republicans want jobs and prosperity, without war and without inflation.

We are all dedicated to that, Republicans, Democrats, without regard to party.

Most of the challenges that we face as a nation are bigger than party politics.

He was devoted to his country, and in his service to both party and country he earned the high admiration of men and women from both sides of the political aisle.

Organize it in a way that it can grow, that it can attract Independent voters and Democratic voters.

There is another lesson I learned in Congress-the need for leaders in every branch of public and private life to work together, for parties to seek common objectives.

Whether they were Democrat or Republican, he served them all with equal fidelity and equal wisdom.

I am very grateful for the support of the leaders of both parties.

Americans are faced with a concerted bid for power by factions which oppose all that both parties have supported.

Those are the issues which separate the two parties.

I think your presence here, whether you are Republican or Democrat, whether you wish to click with Dick or whether you wish to move this country forward.

I think all Americans, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, share a common desire, to live at peace and protect the security of the United States.

In signing this bill which comprises an essential part of the reconstruction program, I desire to express my appreciation to the leaders and Members of both Senate and House of both parties, who have cooperated in its enactment.

The great body of the people of all parties want free and fair elections.
