This is what we are working toward, and believe me, every effort will be made to achieve that goal and not to disappoint you.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have done and what you are doing tonight, and for all those things you will do in the future, for the cause which was so well described by Everett Dirksen and Jerry Ford before.

We deliberately have not attempted to make the kind of a record that looked awfully good in the headlines of today and that made very bad history in the books 3 or 4 years from now.

We have opened a line of communication which will be used very extensively in the months and years ahead in pursuing our mutual purposes and goals in the world

I am delighted that he is going to work with Mr. Helms in this capacity.
