Richard Nixon

We need a depressed-area bill. But we need the right kind of bill.

His [Mr. Kennedy's] statement this week on Cuba publicly calling for Government aid to overthrow Castro is a clear violation of the inter-American treaty prohibition against intervention in the internal affairs of the hemisphere republics.

I have had the experience of traveling all over the world; I've been to 55 countries; and I have seen those that threaten the peace of the world.

I say that in this critical period America has to have leadership which is firm, which is nonbelligerent, and that that kind of leadership can keep the peace.

I really couldn't believe it when somebody said when Mr. Kennedy was here he referred to this place as Johnson City.

Believe me, they don't know me; they don't know this country, and they don't know our party, either.

Which man, which candidate for the Presidency can keep the peace for this country and keep it without surrender?

Pat and I always appreciate a crowd, but particularly one when it's snowing, so thank you very much for coming out.

Does he have the judgment; does he have the background; does he have the experience to keep the peace for America and keep it without surrender?

Now, that is just a complete falsehood. It's a falsehood, and I will tell you why.

All that I can say with regard to Cabot Lodge and me is this: We both know Mr. Khrushchev

I am delighted to be here on the same program with my fellow Republican candidates and with Irving Whalley, our candidate for Congress.

What you have to do is to have the firmness, you also have to have the ability, the judgment, the experience, which will deal with these problems effectively.

How are you going to react when you have the tough decisions?

I have seen the men in the Kremlin

My friends, we cannot take a chance in this critical year on untried inexperienced leadership in the White House of the United States.

They have had a chance. They have struck out, so it's time to give us a chance, because, may I say, we're not interested just in an issue.

And I charge again today that his programs would add $15 billion to the budget of this country

I say it's time for Americans to wake up

Now let me turn to the issue of foreign policy, because it is the most important of all.

And, so, we had a bill that covered all the people over 65.

Because you realize that this election and the decision you make on November 8 may be the most important decision of your life

I don't promise you that in these years ahead it is going to be easy, because, my friends, while it would be easy for me to make such a promise, I know what the world is.

You will recall that your present running mate took the lead in ridiculing your claim that your remarks had been distorted.

Too often we have a tendency to think that all that matters in this world in which we live is the great military strength that we have and that our opponents have.
