Coal is America's ace in the hole.

I envision the development of more than 250 major new coal mines in the next decade.

It is a very worthwhile effort.

I trust that Senate Resolution 59 is but the first of the constructive actions that we can expect from the Congress.

You cannot understand a nation without knowing its people.

Human understanding, communication, and friendship between people and nations is also a very real and a very vital force, an essential force for peace in the world today.

The earth will continue to regenerate its life sources only as long as we and all the peoples of the world do our part to conserve its natural resources.

The keystone of our American way of life is openness.

I welcome this action by the Senate and join the sponsors of the resolution in urging all Americans to renew their efforts to use energy wisely and more efficiently.

The opportunities for voluntary energy conservation and the benefits of conservation are clear.

We must work together to solve the environmental issues associated with the proper use and preservation of those resources.

The road to such a peace is bound to be long and very difficult, but I firmly believe that we are making headway.

The friendships that you forge today will pay dividends in peaceful understanding for the years to come.

America must adjust to turbulent global economic events.

The United States does not and cannot govern the world economy.

The United States firmly believes that our own problems, and those of the rest of the world, can be dealt with most effectively through international cooperation.

We live in a time very unique for both its peril as well as its promise.

We want our friends from abroad to see the truth, to see how we solve our problems openly.

It is really a great privilege and a very high honor to have the opportunity of being here again.

I think we have to recognize as well, this is not the whole picture, and the world would be a pretty grim place if it were.

The goal of normalization of economic relations with the Communist countries has been reaffirmed.

We will oppose any new restriction on foreign investment in the United States except where absolutely necessary on national security grounds or to protect an essential national interest.

I outlined a comprehensive program to address the Nation's energy and economic problems.

I urge the Congress to give these proposals prompt and favorable consideration.

The talks took place in an atmosphere of cordiality and openness.
