We must care. We must all care. And while I am working, while the governments is working, so must the people also work.

Chicago kept industry, attracted new business, became the center for convention trade and transportation.

But I am committed to keeping this city a strong and viable center for commerce and industry, for continuing to make it a place of opportunity for its citizens.

But as important as the job to be done by government in the neighborhoods, the people must also be involved.

The nation can no longer afford to continue policies that hasten the flight of persons to the distant suburbs.

Our universities and museums are respected around the country.

Be assured that I did not become the Mayor of Chicago to preside over its decline.
