Most of all, we are very proud of Major Cooper and his family and we are very proud that our country continues to produce these young men who go so far and carry with them so much.

The issues are clear.

The answer is that this Nation can afford to do whatever must be done to strengthen its economy, step up its growth, create sufficient job opportunities, and fulfill our domestic and worldwide responsibilities.

I want to welcome you all to the White House.

No, that isn't the reason.

Well, I think what we are interested in now is seeing the situation peacefully settled in the next 12-24 hours.

No, I’m not hopeful, I’m not hopeful.

I must say that I share the view of the country that you can't be 79 when you can outwalk Bobby and outtalk Hubert.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. We will see you soon, I hope.

For this reason, it makes sense to work today toward more effective civil defense tomorrow.

I want to join your other friends in expressing congratulations to you on your 79th birthday.

I wish every success to your deliberations.

These goals are the immediate concern and in many ways the first responsibility of the ministries and departments of labor of all our nations.

One of the great things about this country has been that our most extraordinary accomplishments have not come from the Government down, or from the top down, but have come from the bottom up.

I can't think of any occupation which gives a woman a greater chance to play a more useful role in every way than in the profession of politics.

In honoring you, we honor all those who bear arms in the service of their country.

I want to express pleasure to see all of these flowers blooming in your hair.

The most significant guest at our dinner for the Grand Duchess the other night was not the Grand Duchess or the Duke or the Chief Justice, but Dr. Spock who was standing by!

And the new stamp will be issued in Chicago on August 16th, opening day of the Century of Negro Progress Exposition.

Will you all join with me in drinking to the very good health of Her Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess.

I am unveiling today the design of the stamp which commemorates the Emancipation Proclamation 100 years ago which, of course, freed 3 million slaves.

This is an official stamp.

Clearly, political campaigns are essential to a democracy.

In the Commission's view, full and effective disclosure, both before and after elections, provides the greatest hope for effective controls over excessive contributions and unlimited expenditures.

A healthy democratic political system rests on the ability Of the electorate to know, understand and judge the attitudes, characteristics, opinions and qualifications of candidates for public office.
