"As Americans, we all have a very solemn opportunity and duty to preserve, to protect, and to defend the liberties which are our American birthright."
"We have made very substantial headway in meeting the challenges domestically and meeting the problems that we have had internationally."
"In 20 months we have made headway at home, we have made great progress abroad."
"America has no intention of abdicating its leadership to any nation committed to the destruction of liberty."
