There is more unused manufacturing capacity in the economy today than under any other President since the 1930's.

I see an equally important task confronting the next President, as well.

I will not let statistics obliterate human realities if I am elected President.

I never knew either Lyndon Johnson or John Kennedy, but I can never forget the impact that their administrations had on my home State of Georgia.

I don't think these are excessive promises.

More than any President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson reminded the American people that poverty has no place in a land that is as rich as this nation.

I will try to build on the enduring framework of the Great Society and the New Frontier.

I leave you with my pledge that I continue to be committed to the goals of the Great Society.

It was during these Kennedy-Johnson years that this nation made an unalterable commitment to heal the racial divisions that had estranged South from North and black from white for more than a century.

I know that the pessimists are wrong when they say that the Great Society 'promised too much.'

Just think back to what life was like in 1961.

I want a law which will shut down outdated agencies and programs once and for all.

Too many bureaucrats learn the hard way to accept the creed.

The powerful few who benefit from waste and confusion, and their political allies are the loudest voices raised in protest.

I think we can confine government to its proper role and make it an effective, efficient instrument of human needs.

Halfway measures are not enough.

Ours is a great and powerful nation, committed to certain enduring ideals, and those ideals must be reflected in our foreign policy.

We have not had that kind of leadership in recent years.

I find it unacceptable that we have in effect condoned the effort of some Arab countries to tell American businesses that, in order to trade with one country or company, they must observe certain restrictions based on race or religion.

We should not behave abroad in ways that violate our own laws or moral standards.

No government that cared about neighborhoods would stack the tax deck against them.

Warm Springs is a place of history, of healing and of leadership.

As in 1932 and 1960, the choice before our people is clear.

I will try to be a good candidate and, if elected, a worthy leader of our great country.

The only way we will ever put the government back in its place is to restore the family and the neighborhood to their proper places.
