Let us in the United States say that we will stand by Israel, always foursquare for its security, always together in friendship.

We cannot let the extremists prevail.

Today we celebrate that extraordinary 50 years.

This is a time of reconciliation around the world.

Jews and Arabs who have wanted nothing more than to live quiet, normal lives are still denied that simple pleasure.

It no longer makes sense to have a clear, bright line between what is an American domestic policy and what is a foreign policy.

Our children will have a brighter future if there is peace in the Middle East.

The report on jail inmates released today by the Justice Department confirms the urgent need for Government at all levels to pursue a policy of coerced abstinence for drug offenders.

The thing that makes America great is that we have the right ideals and that through history we have constantly sought to overcome our own limitations.

We have to learn to stop thinking of ourselves as the environmental party and start thinking of the environment as a part of all of our other policies.

Thank you so much for what you did to try to help the Irish peace process along.
