The world economy has come a long way from the gloom and uncertainty of two years ago.
We have stabilized international relationships and created the framework for global progress.
There is no excuse, for example, for the Federal Government to have 15 different child nutrition programs spending over $3 billion per year and still have 700,000 children from families below the poverty line who receive no aid.
Because of the vigor of our people and the strength of our system, the United States today, as much or more than in years past, is the pivotal force for building a strong and prosperous world economy.
