"I have discussed it enough with him to know that he and I will be searching for a way to let the Vice President be completely involved in our nation's affairs."

"I believe it's been very good for me—and I believe for the country—to have had this time of careful consideration."

"America still remains confident and youthful in its commitment to freedom and equality."
