I am persuaded that a short visit to Korea by a select group of State executives who are constantly in direct touch with the American people would be highly beneficial.

Their personal evaluation of our progress would provide the public with the essential knowledge and broad understanding to which it is entitled.

Our country, as you know, has an important stake in the fortunes and destiny of the Republic of Korea.

We have, and I have, tried to desperately draw up a program that seems to me to be good for all Americans, which includes Democrats.

I am not going to participate in local contests.

I am not very much of a partisan.

I cannot conceive of a greater tragedy for America than to get heavily involved now in an all-out war in any of those regions, particularly with large units.

I have tried to put out a program that is good for the United States, and it is on that basis that I appeal for help.

No one could be more bitterly opposed to ever getting the United States involved in a hot war in that region than I am.

In our fundamental faith, we are all one.

Whatever our individual church, whatever our personal creed, our common faith in God is a common bond among us.

In God is our trust.
