"This celebration period is an important opportunity for this Nation to reflect on the past and, even more so, to look to the future."

"I know from the very outset that we share the same vision for America, a free, rising democracy."

"I thank you. Millions of other Americans will thank you."

"To slash that budget because of some preconceived ideas or without adequate information is a gamble with our future."
