Through hot wars and cold, through recession and prosperity, through the ages of the atom and outer space, the American people have never faltered and their faith has never flagged.
Tomorrow it can form the framework for a world of law--a world in which no nation dictates the destiny of another, and in which the vast resources now devoted to destructive means will serve constructive ends.
While we shall never weary in the defense of freedom, neither shall we ever abandon the pursuit of peace.
If they choose peaceful competition, they shall have it.
