A nonproliferation treaty must be equitable as between the nuclear and the nonnuclear-weapon powers.

But more important, they will serve the interest of all Americans, as the Constitution mandates, by promoting 'the progress of science and the useful arts' in the decades ahead.

Modernization of the patent system is long overdue.

Agreement on a treaty to stop the spread of nuclear weapons will be an historic turning point in the long effort to bring the atom to heel.

As I pointed out to the Congress in my State of the Union Message, the world is 'in the midst of a great transition, a transition from narrow nationalism to international partnership; from the harsh spirit of the cold war to the hopeful…

I know of no particular industry in time of peace or war that has more nearly lived up to its responsibilities or to the expectations of the American people than the agricultural industry.

As an American who is interested in his country's foreign policy, as one who is deeply concerned with our domestic programs, as a consumer who pays some food bills, and as a part-time, unsuccessful rancher, I want each of you to know that…

For my part, I can promise you that parity of income for farmers is and will be the goal of our agricultural policy.

This law will not interfere with the discretion of plan managers in making legitimate investment decisions.

The Government does not and will not tell business what to produce or labor where to work. Nor will it tell the consumer what to buy.

This Administration seeks no cold wars with--or among--those it serves; not with business or labor, not among producer and consumer... With all--and among all-we seek warm and respectful alliances, so that in common purpose and joint…

The savings to them as consumers will be great--in dollars, in safety and in peace of mind.

It will, however, insure the worker and his family that their welfare and pension plans will be administered fairly and honestly.

We want to foster continued research and development of lifesaving devices. But we must be sure they have been adequately tested before they are put on the market. We cannot be sure today.
