"The favorable interest rate of 3 1/2 percent on a long-term direct loan will greatly assist in providing adequate housing for our senior citizens at a price which they can pay."

"As I said in my speech, the balance of payments, as all of you know, on exports, was in our favor in the last 12 months."
