"It will reduce the burden of regressive taxation on low and moderate income families."

"Hundreds of commodities and services will benefit from the removal or reduction of retail taxes on such items as handbags, luggage, toilet articles, jewelry, and furs."

"It will end an unfair burden on many businesses and many workers."

"I call upon the people of the Nation to pray for a lasting peace in which all mankind may reap the fruits of His blessing."
