Leadership

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

I think I could still carry out our commitments there.

We are determined to do what we think ought to be done there.

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

This administration hopes to provide the leadership for an environment that is free of the contamination which pollutes the water that we drink and the air that we breathe.

If we follow these commands in all our lands, then progress will fulfill our dreams.

This is an occasion to make any President very proud and very glad

I genuinely and sincerely believe his record must be ranked as one of the most, if not the most outstanding ever made

We intend to lead vigorously in that struggle.

This is what I believe the American people expect of their President.

Each of these men has demonstrated in his field that extra measure of professional excellence needed to carry out effectively our many action programs in the people's service.

The Federal executive must set the pace for the employees and supervisors in his organization.

He is the 'better angel' of our nature.

Under our democratic system, in less than 1 year from that day, you must decide whether I should step aside and whether I should move over, and whether you should have another leader.

On November 3d you are going to select the man whose thumb will have to touch that button if it is ever touched.

I want those who wish us well to know that America stands strong and stands steady, and stands firm, using its great power with great restraint.

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