First I want to thank you, Dan, for going to Guatemala as rapidly and as quickly as I asked.

Do I understand that this part here is roughly the size of the District of Columbia?

I share many of those concerns, and I share in a desire to reform and improve upon the current law.

I also pledge that I will work with the Congress to enact a new law that will meet many of the objections of the current system.

I don't see that that association has been harmful, not at all.

First, inflation is still too high, but it is half of what it was 18 months ago, and it is going to get lower and lower.

It is a real thrill for me to meet Mrs. Levey.

We are going to be honest, frank, candid, and we will make this system work the way it should.

I was extremely honored a month or so ago at the urging of my good friend, Claude Pepper, to issue a national proclamation pointing out to our fellow Americans the need for action, the need for understanding in the area of Parkinson's…

Our country owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the veterans who have fought for freedom and liberty for 215 million Americans.

The budget that I sent up in January for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines was $112.7 billion.

There is no reason that older Americans should have to go broke just to get well or stay well in the United States of America.

I honestly believe that the American people today have a restoration of faith in the system and in the people.

We can keep peace with strength, and we are going to have the strength to keep the peace--period.

You are the phone callers, you are the door knockers, you are the people that do all the hard work.

We are going to make sure and positive that it is a fair agreement.

I think it is important for that philosophy, which is a middle-of-the-road philosophy, is the right philosophy for the United States.

I have been tremendously encouraged by the fine turnouts that I have received in Orlando, in Ft. Lauderdale, and elsewhere.

It is obvious that there is a tremendous need.

I pledge to you this morning that I will continue to uphold that commitment.

My principal responsibility is to be President of the United States, and that takes a good bit of time.

I think it is time people stop running down America.

You have an unbelievably high veterans population in this part of Florida.

You have my total, complete commitment that what I do, whether we get an agreement or don't, it will be in the best interest of the United States.

Inflation is going down, employment is going up and unemployment is going down, and that is good for America.
