I am determined... to keep the Federal career service just that--a career service in which men and women can be accepted in the first place on their ability and promoted on their merit.

I expect them to assure full compliance with all personnel laws and regulations.

I have thoroughly supported a strong merit system.

Tiger worked, as we all know, in getting the space committee and its activities moving.

I fully expect those charged with the responsibility of assuring the integrity of the merit system to live up to that responsibility.

I do not think we can conduct American foreign policy on the basis of what other nations think is in our best interest.

Foreign businessmen and investors are most welcome in the United States when they are willing to conform to the principles of our society.

I happen to feel very strongly that Secretary Henry Kissinger is an outstanding Secretary of State.

I had what was really on my mind, and I said, 'Congress.'

We can and we must reduce our needs from the projected 12.7 million barrels to less than 5 million barrels.

The strength of the Nation comes from the richness of its many ideas.

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

It is my deep conviction that peace depends upon a strong defense.
