Commitment

As we dedicate this building, I would finally suggest that we dedicate ourselves to the great challenges that lie ahead.

We will never give up with regard to our prisoners of war.

Congress' failure to enact them, however, in no way diminishes the desirability of the Administration's commitment.

And when they do, I will be the first one at that table--wherever it is.

This just carries out a commitment that we have made at the time.

This just carries out a commitment that we have made.

We are totally committed to defeat this aggression.

In accepting this award this morning, I want to declare once again that so long as I am in public office, I am going to do everything within my power and my capability to prevent us from falling behind.

For the United States it is our first major commitment under our promise to expand economic and social development in Southeast Asia.

It is going to be difficult and it is going to require sacrifices.

So far as I am concerned, I repeat now what I said last July, and what I said in New York the other night: As he makes his requests, they will be considered and they will be met.

I will reenlist in your army of excellence, and we all stand ready to march with you under your guidance.

As long as I am President, I don't intend to give it up, or give it away.

The American commitment to the Alliance is firm and real.

Now it's up to us to keep that pledge in our time.

I could promise you only that I would do my dead level best.

I would have you know again that America's commitment to this alliance is real, firm, and substantial.

We pledge to you for as long as we are privileged to be there that we shall do what is right and what is best for all the people of this land.
