It is my earnest wish, Mr. President, to fortify the spirit of cooperation and mutual esteem which has always marked relations between our countries.

In that spirit, let us work together to reinvigorate the alliance of American Republics, recognizing the magnitude of the tasks we face, and confident in the strength of the heritage we share.

It emphasizes not only what this hospital does, but all the hospitals in your community.

And I am delighted to have this chance, through Dave Garroway, to emphasize our great national interest in developing our hospitals, developing research, training doctors, training nurses--and spreading the benefits of modern medicine…

I think that physical fitness is a part of our survival, and I am hopeful that we can, through the White House--but really it's a private decision--but at least from this area we are going to try to do our best to emphasize this.

They all deserve our support.

I must say that this hospital is a--I am delighted to have this rather long-distance connection with this hospital.

Well, we are trying.

I think we are inclined to think that if we watch a football game or a baseball game, that we have taken part in it.

I speak today in an hour of national peril and national opportunity.

This Administration will not distort the value of the dollar in any fashion.

I have already taken steps to coordinate and expand our disarmament effort.

We must increase our support of the United Nations as an instrument to end the Cold War instead of an arena in which to fight it.

The present state of our economy is disturbing.

I have asked the other governments concerned to agree to a reasonable delay in the talks on a nuclear test ban.

But Communist domination in this Hemisphere can never be negotiated.

This is not a partisan program concentrating on our weaknesses--it is, I hope, a national program to realize our national strength.

But I have a different view of liberty.

Our greatest challenge is still the world that lies beyond the Cold War.

We cannot escape our dangers--neither must we let them drive us into panic or narrow isolation.

The deadly arms race, and the huge resources it absorbs, have too long overshadowed all else we must do.

However, we will do what must be done.
