We agreed that sustained, stable economic growth in the industrial nations will be facilitated by our cooperative efforts.

We pay tribute to the long, long friendship as well as the kinship of the Irish and the American people.

America in 1975 renewed and strengthened its commitment to pursue the traditional U.S. goals of freer trade and enhanced global economic stability and prosperity.

We expect similar treatment of U.S. companies investing abroad.

I welcome you not only as Prime Minister of Ireland but as a kinsman, very distant in genealogy but very close in affinity.

The United States is committed to assisting developing countries in their efforts to achieve economic progress.

Our nations share a deep devotion to independence, democracy, religious liberty, and individual freedom.

We meet today to honor our long and mutual tradition of Irish-American friendship and to build upon it for the future.

I call upon all Americans to pray that day, each in his or her own way, for the strength to meet the challenges of the future with the same courage and dedication Americans showed the world two centuries ago.

I hereby transmit to the Congress the fifth quarterly report of the Council on Wage and Price Stability.

We think we have a good program.

I pledge to you, the younger people, and all above that age group, that as far as this administration is concerned, we are going to be for a strong America both at home as well as abroad.

I hope that what I have done justifies continued faith in the future.

I am convinced that those programs will win not only the primaries but it will win the general election on November 2, 1976.

With that kind of spirit and that kind of dedication, we are going to keep up our unbroken string of victories.

Obviously, we were deeply concerned about the fact that the water was high and the power was out.

I think a good many people there know that I have attended Lincoln Day Dinners as far back as 1946, and it seems that every one of them gets better and better.

But we can make it that way by being proud that we are Americans and proud of America.

I have the greatest confidence in him as our new Ambassador to the United Nations.

The challenge facing Bill Scranton is immense; conflicts are inevitable in the United Nations.

You know what to do to improve your cities and you know how to do it.

It is very simple--extend the proven general revenue sharing program, which expires December 31, 1976.

I am grateful that our Nation will have such an able spokesman.

I deeply share your concern, and I stand firm in my commitment to secure an extension of general revenue sharing.

I see no prospects for any reimposition of any embargo.
