I want to be a President who acts as well as reacts - who originates programs as well as study groups - who masters complex problems as well as one-page memorandums.

For I am not in this campaign merely to win an election - I seek election in order to carry out our program.

I want to be a President who has the confidence of the people - and who takes the people into his confidence.

I am not promising action in the first 100 days alone - I am promising you 1,000 days of exacting Presidential leadership.

I come here today to Queens and ask your help in moving this country forward in building our strength, in building our influence abroad, in identifying our selves once again as the great defender of freedom at a time when freedom is under…

We are choosing a President of the United States.

I ask your help in finishing the work of this campaign.

I want to be a President who believes in working full time when millions of men and women are forced to work part time.

Everyone in this room, as I look around, has contributed a good deal.

If I am successful, I am going to Washington, D.C., and get this country to work.
