The local control that you represent is not only an American tradition, it makes awfully good sense.

I'm here to urge all of you to elect John Heinz your next United States Senator.

It is great to be in sunny New Jersey.

We have campaigned the length and the breadth of this country, and the net result is we have the momentum going.

The American people have been disillusioned.

We've done quite well, but we're going to do better.

I pledge my cooperation and my continuing effort on behalf of American education.

America was in very deep trouble.

We laid it on the line.

Slowly but surely, there was this restoration of confidence in America.

We have the momentum.

Give me your mandate and we will reduce the growth of government still more.

Let me say you are here because you want to know where I stand on the issues.

I can't imagine a more wonderful way to end a beautiful day in the State of Illinois than to come to this plaza and see so many wonderful people who are going to support Jerry Ford for President.

Thank you very, very much, Jim Thompson, the next Governor of the great State of Illinois.

My record is one of progress, not platitudes; performance, not promises.

My administration has been open, candid, straightforward.

I just couldn't come to Oregon and get a finer display of the kind of support that I want.
