For over six decades we have worked together to create and maintain strong democratic institutions.
These things can be done--your part in bringing them to pass will be measured by the intensity of your dedication.
If there is one thing we want--I mean the United States wants--it is good, loyal friends, inspired by the same ideals of human dignity and decency that we ourselves cherish.
