I am asking this generation of Americans in 1960 to do the same, to do in its time what those generations before us did, to maintain freedom and serve as an example and a bright light to the world around us.

If we cannot, we will have layoffs.

All this they have done in a year - in the year of the Camp David spirit.

I am tired of reading every morning what Mr. Khrushchev is doing, or what Mr. Castro is doing.

If you are concerned with the Republican tendency to react instead of act - to become preoccupied with only responding to communism instead of also advancing freedom - then I suggest you consider more closely the foreign policy experience…

I think we can do a better job than has been done in recent years.

The choice is really to get no assistance, in my opinion.

It requires the cooperative effort of the people of this city, of labor and management, and of economic policies which stimulate our economy carried on by the Federal Government.

I want to make that national policy more effective.

I come here asking your help in this campaign.

I don't hold that view. think our high noon is yet to come.

So I am most indebted.

I consider the most serious domestic problem facing the next administration is to reverse the decline in agricultural income and also the maintenance of full employment in the United States.

Well, as a matter of fact, I am flying home tonight to try to find an answer to that question.

I think that the job of the next President will be more difficult, more burdensome, more responsible than it has been in any administration since the time of Lincoln.

I think we have a chance to win.

I think a change of leadership is what is needed.

We will either see freedom on the ascendancy around the world, or other countries of Latin America and Africa and Asia will begin to move in the direction of China and Russia.

We do not come to Niagara to see the falls.

Our security will be assured.

I ask you to look ahead in this country.

So in a very real sense, we are all involved.

I say in 1960, let's look at the record.

Mr. Nixon says I am running America down.

I ask your help in this campaign, and I can assure you that if we are successful, we are going to work to make the United States not first if, but, or when, but first, period.
