America must stand for extending the cause of freedom, of winning the battle for freedom that is going on all over the world, and that battle, my friends, is one that's taking place in a number of areas, and one of them is economic.

Young people have very few prejudices.

I think that, on its face, the question is so ridiculous, the charge ridiculous, that I will not comment on it.

I am confident if we can, however, back the United Nations, that this means that the Soviet Union will have to back down in the Congo.

I stand on what I said because I would only rely on the reports of what I considered to be responsible newsmen covering him, and the words I read were an exact quote.

I don't know of any other way to get the candidates known to the people and their views communicated.

I think the beneficial effect is in creating tremendous interest in the election and in bringing out a vote - big vote - and I think in that respect it will be beneficial.

There were others who felt that the President might have been able to have saved the conference by acceding to Mr. Khrushchev's request that he express regrets for the U-2 flights.

The farmers have been responsible for becoming the most productive agricultural producers in the world today.

We must not be belligerent because we cannot enjoy the luxury of losing our tempers.

Let us remember that the strength of America is in her ideals, in her moral and her spiritual strength.

Our farmers must be prosperous.

So, we should try to strengthen these organizations and make them even more effective in the cause of peace.

Don't think of the personality of the man.

When you're confident of your strength, when you know you're right, you don't have to get down to the level of a man who insults you, as Mr. Khrushchev was insulting the President.

I pledge to you we will keep America strong as she is today - stronger than anybody in the world so that we can keep the peace.

I know there are those who raise questions about our strength, and we can never be complacent about it because new inventions are always coming along.

America stands for moral and spiritual ideals, for the God-given dignity of men and women.

I think that one of the most exciting and challenging problems that the next President of the United States will have is to make an asset out of the ability of our farmers to be the most productive farmers that civilization has ever known.
