I speak first of the cause of progress for the people of Egypt and for our own people.

We have already made progress toward that goal.

We trust that this is a day truly of a new beginning for all the nations in this area, a new and a good beginning, and one that will benefit thereby all the nations of the world.

We have been greatly touched by your generous remarks, and we have also been enormously moved by the reception we have received as we passed through the streets of Cairo today.

The historians years later will perhaps see all of these great events in perspective, but one fact stands out today: that without the wisdom, without the vision, without the courage, without the statesmanship of President Sadat of Egypt…

This day's events signify and symbolize that restoration.

You can get a crowd out, but you cannot make that crowd smile unless they want to smile.

We in America want to be friends of this nation and its people.

And, Mr. President, finally, I should like in the presence of your people to pay a tribute to you.

Certain roadblocks along the long and difficult road toward permanent peace have been removed.

This area, the cradle of civilization, and now we have the challenge, the opportunity, the privilege of seeing that the civilization which we have inherited from the great giants of the past survives and not only survives but is passed on…

Executive Order No. 10987, relating to agency systems for appeals from adverse action, is revoked.

My refusal to comply with further subpoenas with respect to Watergate is based, essentially, on two considerations.

What is commonly referred to now as 'executive privilege' is part and parcel of the basic doctrine of separation of powers--the establishment, by the Constitution, of three separate and co-equal branches of Government.

Every nation in the world has a stake in maintaining peace in the Mideast, and we trust that this journey, just as the one 2 years ago, will contribute not only to peace in that area but to peace generally for all nations in the world.

We are very grateful for your very warm words and for the welcome we have received here in Austria, which is world famed for its hospitality.

The question of the respective rights and responsibilities of the Executive and Legislative branches is one of the cardinal questions raised by a proceeding such as the one the Committee is now conducting.

Mr. Chancellor, we want to express appreciation on behalf not only of the United States but for all nations for the part that Austria is playing in furnishing the largest contingent for the U.N. force which is preserving the area in the…

The Committee asserts that it should be the sole judge of Presidential confidentiality.

I think we can say that this great free and independent nation, Austria, now symbolizes a bridge between East and West, a bridge of peace.
