I believe such a conference can serve a valuable purpose.

I think it is time you changed.

In answer to the question in your telegram I assure you that, if I am elected President I will convene the White House Conference on Narcotics as soon as it is reasonably practicable.

I don't believe that the American people are going to give their endorsement to the leadership which believes that medical care for our older citizens, financed under social security, is extreme, and I quote Mr. Nixon accurately - which he…

In short, the Republicans continue to say 'no' to the 1960's – no new starts, no new schools, no new housing programs, no new help for the farmer.

We are here on a mission to rebuild this State and country.
