Richard Nixon

It is true, as you stated in your telegram, that I said that I intended to talk about Quemoy and Matsu every day for the final 3 weeks of the campaign.

The people are entitled to know why each of us holds the views that we do so that they can make an intelligent choice between us.

For 4 hours we have discussed on television many questions - how to keep the peace and extend freedom, the state of our military and moral strength, our economic growth, and the problems of providing for the human needs of our people.

I have traveled to forty-eight of the fifty states.

how can we keep the peace - keep it without surrender?

how can we keep the peace - keep it without surrender? How can we extend freedom - extend it without war?

Let us move now to the future.

America has not been standing still.

It must be suicide for them to launch an attack.

it would be completely irresponsible for a candidate for the presidency... to indicate the course of action and the weapons he would use

it isn't a question of the number of people who are working in an Administration. It's a question of who they are

we can't settle for anything but the best

the statement that Senator Kennedy made... was that - to the effect that there were trigger-happy Republicans

I am never satisfied with the economic growth of this country

to do what Senator Kennedy has suggested... is not something that would lead to peace; it is something that would lead, in my opinion, to war

I think we have to make progress first in the field of employment.

Cuba is not lost, and I don't think this kind of defeatist talk by Senator Kennedy helps the situation one bit.

I don't intend to see to it that the United States is ever in a position where... we discontinue our intelligence effort.

I would have no hesitance to ask the American people to pay the taxes even in 1961 - if necessary - to maintain a sound economy.

The need for fiscal vigilance.

The prospect of a surplus in excess of $1 billion for reducing the huge public debt is heartening.

We haven't gotten an economic concession.

America will always have a feeling and a concern for misery and hunger and want in the whole world.

I say to you that when we elect a President in this critical period of the '60's it is America that comes first, and the party second.

You want and we want better jobs for our people, at higher wages.
