Yes, we have the faith of our fathers.

A part of the soul of America remains forever on Bataan and Corregidor.

All Americans are grateful to you for that moving gesture.

Mr. President, Mrs. Macapagal, distinguished guests, this house of the American people is honored tonight by the presence of the President and the First Lady of a land that Americans love--the Republic of the Philippines.

We Americans live in a diversified society.

We have peace and we prize it, but we prize freedom and honor more.

Mr. President, the success of your dynamic democracy shows to all that freedom is the wave of the future for Asia and for all the nations that rim the vast Pacific.

They are abiding human values.

Peace in our troubled world is the hope of all men of good will.

None can know just how long the fight for freedom in southeast Asia will take, but we of the United States are resolved not to falter or to grow weary in the struggle.

If freedom is to stand strong, free men must be devoted to strength, must be devoted to social justice, to the dignity of the individual, and to the love of peace.

We are proud that you have returned tonight under happier circumstances on a mission of friendship.

We Americans are proud of the role that President Kennedy and the United States Government played in obtaining that treaty.
