I am very happy to be here today to have this opportunity to visit St. Croix and to see for myself what this part of our American family is doing to meet our common problems.

We are helping him all we can.

Let John speak for himself.

I approved the whole speech.

I am not in Tennessee politics.

Yes, I signed that bill.

They have always been adequate, and I think they still are.

We fight to retain a great past- and we fight to gain a greater future.

We hope it is going to work.

I honestly think that we all ought to be a bit careful and tend toward understatement rather than overstatement on all operations of that kind.

I think that is sort of a hypothetical question.

I think that's a matter of record.

We have been discussing, as you know, for over a year.

I don't think I will speak before the election.

There are no strings to this endorsement.

I want to make it perfectly clear that I meant what I said—that you are without any question the best qualified of all the candidates for the Governorship.

It's a pretty darn good record.

The only people I saw on the trip who were remotely connected with politics, but with whom I did not discuss politics at any moment, were the eleven Governors of the eleven States that we passed through.
