Gerald Ford

We can make the 'rest of the 1970's decisive years in the lives of the Indian people.

I believe in maintaining a stable policy so that Indians and Indian leaders can plan and work confidently for the future.

I thank you for your kind and gracious remarks.

Every American must have the chance to reach his or her full potential.

This is performance, not promise.

Your contribution has been both material and spiritual.

I hope and trust that you will have fair winds and a flowing sea.

We must introduce a new balance in the relationship between the individual and the government.

I will keep it that way.

I thank you personally, and I thank you on behalf of all Americans for the close alliance between your country and ours.

The American people feel good about themselves and about their country.

We can ensure that government will again be the capable servant, not the meddling master of the American people.

Steadfast support for NATO and cooperation with all of the members of the Atlantic community are a fundamental part of the United States foreign policy.

Through their contribution, they make our collective security a reality.

As we celebrate our German-American friendship tonight, we can take pride in the outstanding foresight and cooperation of European and North American statesmen over the past quarter century.

We will help to provide to the maximum of our capability a better way of life for all mankind.

Now, as then, I reaffirm the commitment of the United States of America to the Atlantic Alliance.

This act is intended to ban the clearly inhumane practice of intentionally injuring the limbs and hoofs of horses.

Without action by the Congress these economies cannot be achieved.

I commend the Congress for their expeditious action which assists us in our efforts to improve defense management practices.

I propose that Congress delete the funds for these programs in FY 1977, and authorize funds for repair of the Belknap in the current transition quarter.

I HAVE approved S. 811, which provides amendments to the Horse Protection Act of 1970.

The Congress must cooperate if we are to be able to successfully arrest these trends in order to assure our own security.

I am determined that the U.S. national security be fully adequate.

I plan to resubmit budget requests for FY 1977 to cover these essential shipbuilding programs.
