Our concern will be with very practical questions.

I remember very clearly tonight my visit to India in 1961.

I feel very privileged to welcome you as the leader of our sister democracy.

The journey to our future is over a very long and a very winding road.

I shall seek your counsel on the problems of Southeast Asia, where India, under the Geneva Accords, has for so long played such a special role.

I venture to think that there is much about the United States that your students find equally interesting.

Mr. Gladstone talks to me as if I were a public meeting--but Mr. Disraeli speaks to me as if I were a woman.

And now tonight Prime Minister Gandhi comes to this house and to this table, the custodian of her nation's hope, and the steward of her nation's dreams.

We are very proud and very honored to have you today as our guest in this country.

I would propose that the new Foundation be given a broad charter to promote progress in all fields of learning--to advance science--to encourage research--to develop new teaching techniques on the farms and in the factories--to stimulate…

Both our nations have the deep-felt obligation to the basic dignity of man--and the conviction that people can solve their problems by free choice far better than they can by any arrangement of force.

I would suggest that this Foundation be organized as an independent institution-with distinguished citizens of both our countries on its board of directors.

Nothing, we know, is more painful or more costly to all concerned than a falling out between one's friends.

We are very glad that you are here.

I think they can be reasonably sure that we will not be wasting any of our time.

The United States values deeply the friendship of both India and Pakistan.

There is much that binds India and the United States together.

We want to learn how we can best help you and how our help can be used to the very best effect.

We know, Madam Prime Minister, that India under your leadership will have such determination.
