I am deeply indebted to you personally and want to express, on behalf of more than 200 million Americans, our thanks for what you mean to us.
All of us have become increasingly concerned about how Americans will live now and in future generations, with the pressure of industrial development a major element in Americans lives.
We cannot afford to take for granted any element of threat to America's out-of-doors or to the environment in which we live.
I think if there's one industry that I can imagine that has been successful in bridging these gaps and bringing an alleviation of tension and a better understanding of one another... it has been the sound recording industry.
I want to congratulate you, welcome you here to the White House, thank you for your tremendous achievements in the past.
My administrative action will stand until the Congress passes superior legislation.
