I urge that the Congress give early consideration to cotton legislation that will make this important fiber more competitive and help it recapture its markets.

The proper Federal role is to identify national education goals and to help local, state and private authorities build the necessary roads to reach those goals.

We can no longer afford the luxury of endless debate over all the complicated and sensitive questions raised by each new proposal on Federal participation in education.

A free Nation can rise no higher than the standard of excellence set in its schools and colleges.

Education is the keystone in the arch of freedom and progress.

Our present American educational system was founded on the principle that opportunity for education in this country should be available to all--not merely to those who have the ability to pay.
