But let them not suppose that our desire for peace springs either from weakness or from hesitation.

You have my pledge that the Internal Revenue Service, as long as I am President, is going to be a blue ribbon organization.

The Peace Corps has already shown us what it can do.

Say, 'Except for the grace of God, I might be in that man's position.'

The health of our people is essential to the pursuit of happiness.

No child in an affluent America should be without an adequate diet.

It was an act of faith on the part of that great President who established the Peace Corps by Executive order 5 years ago today.

It is just as ridiculous to charge a man to vote, and therefore, on that basis, it is in violation of the Constitution.

We do have a free press in our country.

You are serving your country well, and with distinction.

The taxes you collect are going to be used to rebuild the cities of America in a manner in which we can take great pride.

Today we can set ambitious goals for the future:--full education for every citizen to the limits of his capacity to absorb it;--good health for every citizen to the limits of our country's capacity to provide it.

We are ready when that day comes, ready to join in a massive effort of reconstruction and development that is open to all, including North Vietnam.

In you two men I have the greatest confidence, and I have no doubt but what you will prove worthy of it.

A nation's greatness is measured by its concern for the health and welfare of its people.

The same spirit that the Peace Corps volunteers brought to thousands of villages and cities in 46 countries should be carried to the hamlets of Vietnam.

The constructive work of more than 20,000 people over 5 long years--the collaboration of the peoples with whom they have lived--is a real testament to the trust upon which the Peace Corps was founded.

Taxes are never popular.
