I propose a toast to you, Prime Minister and Begum Bhutto, to the ideals and to the hopes they personify.

Businessmen here know precisely what I am talking about.

I have indicated that it is my intention to be a candidate in 1976.

We must not be lulled into a belief that inflation need no longer be a major concern of economic policy.

The need for reliable energy supplies for our economy is the foundation of my proposed energy program.

It is essential that the deficit be reduced markedly as the economy begins to return toward full employment.

I don't think that wage and price control medicine is the answer to the economic problem.

I think it is encouraging to see that labor, business, and the general public respond so well to the problems of this recession and are joining in the effort to solve them.

I urge my fellow citizens to be mindful of the valuable message conveyed to us during the celebration of this week.
