I won't be satisfied until we win the battle against inflation 100 percent, period.

The middle-income taxpayer has been shortchanged too long under the Federal tax system.

I won't be satisfied until everybody who wants a job, who wants to work, has a job in the United States.

We have reduced inflation from 12 percent to under 6 percent.

The Ford administration in the 2 years-plus has earned the confidence of the American people by addressing our immediate problems while maintaining a long-term view of economic policy.

We want a job for every American who wants to work.

I am proud to say that we have cut inflation by 50 percent in the past 2 years.

The attainment of the international economic as well as political and national security objectives of the United States depends in large measure on our success in maintaining a strong and healthy world economy.

We expect similar treatment of U.S. companies investing abroad.

We must redouble our efforts to help these young men and women find jobs.

I stated then that the time had come for action across the entire front of international economic problems.

I am convinced that Phase IV, combined with actions to increase supplies, a restrictive monetary policy, and restraint in Federal spending, will enable us to reduce the inflationary threat to our economic well-being.

It would introduce several new authorities which can be used to manage domestic and international economic policies more effectively.

Our goal is to see that every American who wants to work, and who is qualified to work, can get a job.

Everyone who wants to work should be able to work.

States currently paying higher benefits would be encouraged to continue to do so by Federal assumption of any new costs involved.

I AM pleased to announce that the steel producers of Japan, the European Community, and the United Kingdom have expressed their intention to restrain on a voluntary basis their exports of steel mill products to the United States during the next 3 years.

It would be especially appropriate for the announcement of such actions to take place during Small Business Week.
