Persist we will.

For the first time, America is winning the battle of conservation.

For we are, after all, one nation. It is our destiny to succeed or to fail as a single people and not as separate races.

I believe that we must not stand by and watch our rural communities wither and die for lack of water.

I want to speak to you this morning about our society--about some of the stress that it is undergoing and about what I believe that we must do if we are to preserve civil peace and if we are to serve social justice.

So, men have the right to protest the condition of their lives, but they also have the responsibility not to injure the person or the property of others in making that protest.

It is a very special pleasure for me to be in this beautiful State.

And we shall succeed. No power on this earth can prevent us.

It means that a major goal of Government must be to secure the right to social justice for all of our people--and for all of us to help these people fulfill that right.

We believe that the Nation should act.

Yes, we have problems, but we have successes, too.

It must be clear, especially to those in the South who worked with the Communists to seize control by force, that their choice no longer includes a military takeover.

Our objective is to let the people of South Vietnam decide what kind of government and what kind of country they want.

If we can go to Canada together and go to Mexico together, I would just like to go up to Vermont with you.

I think they know that communism must be halted in Vietnam as it was halted in Western Europe, and in Greece and Turkey, and Korea, and the Caribbean, if it is determined to swallow up free peoples and spread its influence in that area…

I want to pledge to you this afternoon that as long as I have a responsibility for leadership in this country, we are going to retain that splendor in America.

I said here in Manchester 2 years ago that we must stand firm when the vital interests of freedom are under attack.

We are there for another reason, too, and that is because the United States must stand behind its word, even when conditions have added to the cost of honoring a pledge that was given a decade ago.
