I am shocked to even think that the boys I put on the plane at the 82d Airborne--most of whom were Negro boys going back to Vietnam the second time to protect that flag and to preserve our freedom--that they can't live near the base where they have to train in this country; they must drive 15, 20, or 30 miles sometimes to get to their homes.

Trial by jury is one of the oldest democratic rights enshrined in the American system.

More than 100 years ago Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

The time for action is here.

We must make every effort to insure stable prices in order to meet foreign competition at home and abroad.

Mr. President, I do want to offer you my congratulations this evening--congratulations on your shrewd political sense.

I am hopeful that the Civil Rights Act--which we have passed through a body that has been very difficult, in my experience, to pass civil rights bills through, in past years--can pass the House of Representatives; and we will finally put the law on the side of the man who seeks a home for his family.

It advances the civil rights of those who still reach for their full, and what we believe their proper, place in our society.

From now on, all of our Federal juries in this country will be, in the language of the law, 'selected at random from a fair cross section of the community.'

We are drawing closer, I think, ever closer to the fulfillment of a promise that this Nation made to ourselves and to the world many, many years ago.

The measures we have undertaken will insure the continued strength of the dollar.
