Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times. Many times in history there has been complete disagreement between the two branches of the Government, and in these disagreements sometimes the Congress has won and sometimes the President has won. But during the Administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle.

In the field of world policy; I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor.

I love it--I just love it.

...Since 1775 the United States Marines have upheld a fine tradition of service to their country. They are doing so today. I am confident they will continue to do so.

Slowly, and in spite of anything we Americans do or do not do, it looks a little as if you and some other good people are going to have to answer the old question of whether you want to keep your country unshackled by taking even more definite steps to do so

In a democratic nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.

I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
