I come to raise a voice of confidence in both the future of these United Nations and the fate of the human race.

Our society will be great as never before.

You refunded $239 million to taxpayers who had made mistakes on their own.

You collected all of this money while making savings of $13 million through improved management practices.

Just remember that you are responsible to your own God, your own conscience, and to your own Constitution.

I am one man who is always glad to see the tax collectors; at least, I am today in my official capacity.

It is a pleasure to welcome you again here to the East Room of the White House.

I recently received one of your new form 1040's in the mail.

Let all remember--and none forget--that now more than 50 times in these 20 years the United Nations has acted to keep the peace.

The taxes that you collect and that we pay have resulted in our building the greatest highways in all the world.

We would be slaves instead of free men.

Second, be compassionate in your understanding.

Funds for health manpower, facilities and services are up $707 million.

Educational deprivation cannot be overcome in a year.

We do have a free press in our country, but who would ever say to an editorial writer, 'I am going to put a tax on each word that you put in that piece'?

It has given those principles a strengthened vitality in the conduct of the affairs of man.

You have had a good year since I spoke to you last March.

It has removed the excuse of ignorance, unmasked the evil of indifference.
