This is one of the most important issues of the campaign--whether the Government is going to turn its back on the mounting needs of a growing country under the pretense of a 'conservative fiscal philosophy.'

We must be a nation of lovers, not a nation of haters.

Efficiency in government should be not the cause of stagnation but the companion of progress.

I want to tell you how grateful I am that Arizona furnishes one of our Cabinet members, Stewart Udall, and his lovely wife, and I am very proud of him.

And when the Chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee makes a slight suggestion to the President, I hope the President is smart enough, and I know he loves Carl Hayden enough, that his suggestion is my command.

I want to say a deep thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm welcome to this wonderful State of sunshine here in Arizona.

But I do say that your resources, your people, your management, your faith, your vision, your 20th century methods, your modern ideas, your great electronic industry and other industries that are coming to Arizona—that you will be growing…

I would discuss the issues that are important in this campaign.

I am going to leave with Roy now in just a moment and I won't be seeing you any more, but I am coming back to these wonderful, happy, smiling faces, and this dry air and this fine sunshine because it is good and it invigorates you.

This is not a day for politics.

I remember the first President I ever saw, and the greatest President I ever knew.

I want to thank Congressman Udall and Congressman Senner for coming here and welcoming me this morning.

The crucial fact is this: a 'cut cost' policy does not mean a 'do-nothing' policy.

I hope you will accept my apology.

I am happy to say to you now that I am employed full time right now.

I intend to talk a lot about my view that government can be both progressive and compassionate on the one hand and prudent on the other.

The time has come in our national life for us to be together, not apart.

Now, that is the kind of a world that we want.
