I would like to propose a toast to President Lopez Portillo and his wife, and to the people of the great nation of Mexico.

I believe that the future holds an even closer opportunity for mutual enjoyment and to get to know one another.

I pledge to you, President Lopez Portillo, that in the coming months and years, I will go even further than is required through diplomatic courtesy to work closely with you.

There is hereby established the United States Circuit Judge Nominating Commission.

I urge them to do so.

Conservation will be the centerpiece of our national energy policy.

The people were sick of diplomacy carried out in secret, often with questionable allies.

People wanted a government worthy of them—as competent and compassionate as they knew themselves to be.

I want to make sure that you feel a partnership with me.
