Oklahoma Bombing Memorial Prayer Service AddressWilliam Jefferson ClintonS: Thank you very much, Governor Keating and Mrs. Keating, Reverend Graham, to the families of those who have been lost and wounded, to the people of Oklahoma City, who have endured so much, and the people of this wonderful state, to all of you who are here as our fellow Americans.E: My fellow Americans, a tree takes a long time to grow, and wounds take a long time to heal. But we must begin. Those who are lost now belong to God. Some day we will be with them. But until that happens, their legacy must be our lives. Thank you all, and God bless you. 2. Remarks at the Brandenburg GateRonald ReaganS: Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty four years ago, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin, and speaking to the people ofthis city and the world at the city hall. Well since thentwo other presidents have e, each in his turn to Berlin. And today, I, myself, make my second visit to your city.We e to Berlin, we American Presidents, because it's our duty to speak in this place of freedom. But I must confess, we’re drawn here by other things as well; by the feeling of history in this city -- more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. Perhaps the poser, Paul Linke, understood something about American Presidents. You see, like so many Presidents before me, I e here today because whe rever I go, whatever I do: “Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin” [I still have a suitcase in Berlin.] E: In the 1950s -- In the 1950s Khrushchev predicted: "We will bury you." 3. Address on Taking the Oath of the U.S. PresidencyGerald R. FordS: Mr. Chief Justice, my dear friends, my fellow Americans:The oath that I have taken is the same oath that was taken by George Washington and by every President under the Constitution. But I assume the Presidency underextraordinary circumstances never before experienced by Americans. This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts.E: With all the strength and all the good sense I have gained from life, with all the confidence of my family, my friends, and my dedicated staff impart to me, and with the good will of countless Americans I have encountered in recent visits to 40 States, I now solemnly reaffirm my promise I made to you last December 6: To uphold the Constitution; to do what is right as God gives me to see the right; and to do the very best I can for America.God helping me, I will not let you down. Thank you.4. Energy and the National Goals - A Crisis of ConfidenceJimmy CarterS: This a special night for me. Exactly three years ago, on July 15, 1976, I accepted the nomination of my party to run for President of the United States. I promised you a President who is not isolated from the people, who feels your pain, and who shares your dreams, and who draws his strength and his wisdom from you.E: In closing, let me say this: I will do my best, but I will not do it alone. Let your voice be heard. Whenever you have a chance, say something good about our country. With God’s help and for the sake of our nation, it is time for us to join hands in America. Let us mit ourselves together to a rebirth of the American spirit. Working together with our mon faith we cannot fail.Thank you and good night.5. On Vietnam and Not Seeking ReelectionLyndon Baines JohnsonS: Good evening, my fellow Americans:Tonight I want to speak to you of peace in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. No other question so preoccupies our people. No other dream so absorbs the 250 million human beings who live in that part of the world. No other goal motivates American policy in Southeast Asia.E: Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President. But let men everywhere know, however,that a strong and a confident and a vigilant America stands ready tonight to seek an honorable peace; and stands ready tonight to defend an honored cause, whateverthe price, whatever the burden, whatever the sacrifice that duty may require.Thank you for listening. Good night and God bless all of you. 6. Cambodian Incursion AddressRichard M. NixonS: Good evening, my fellow Americans. Ten days ago, in my report to the nation on Vietnam, I announced the decision to withdraw an additional 150,000 Americans from Vietnam over the next year. I said then that I was making that decision despite our concern over increased enemy activity in Laos, in Cambodia, and in South Vietnam. And at that time I warned that if I concluded that increased enemy activity in any of these areas endangered the lives of Americans remaining in Vietnam, I would not hesitate to take strong and effective measures to deal with that situation. Despite that warning, North Vietnam has increased its military aggression in all these areas, and particularly in Cambodia.E: The possibility of winning a just peace in Vietnam and in the Pacific is at stake.It is customary to conclude a speech from the White House by asking support for the President of the United States. Tonight, I departfrom that precedent. What I ask is far more important. I ask for your support for our brave men fighting tonight halfway around the world, not for territory, not for glory, but so that their younger brothers and their sons and your sons can have a chance to grow up in a world of peace, and freedom, and justice. Thank you, and good night.7. Opening Statement to the Senate Judiciary mitteeAnita HillS: My name is Anita F. Hill, and I am a professor of law at the University of Oklahoma. I was born on a farmin Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, in 1956. I am the youngest of 13 children. I had my early education in Okmulgee County. My father, Albert Hill, is a farmer in that area. My mother's name is Irma Hill. She is also a farmer and a housewife.E: It would have been more fortable to remain silent. It took no initiative to inform anyone -- I took no initiative to inform anyone. But when I was asked by a representative of this mittee to report my experience, I felt that I had to tell the truth. I could not keep silent.8. Television and the Public InterestNewton N. MinowS: Governor Collins, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. Governor Collins you're much too kind, as allof you have been to me the last few days. It's been agreat pleasure and an honor for me to meet so many of you. And I want to thank you for this opportunity to meet with you today.E: I urge you, I urge you to put the people'sairwaves to the service of the people and the cause of freedom. You must help prepare a generation for great decisions. You must help a great nation fulfill its future.Do this! I pledge you our help. Thank you. 9. Black PowerStokely CarmichaelS: Thank you v ery much. It’s a privilege and anhonor to be in the white intellectual ghetto of the West. We wanted to do a couple of things before we started. The first is that, based on the fact that SNCC, through the articulation of its program by its chairman, has beenable to win elections in Georgia, Alabama, Maryland, andby our appearance here will win an election in California, in 1968 I'm going to run for President of the United States. I just can't make it, 'cause I wasn't born in the United States. That's the only thing holding me back.E: And then, therefore, in a larger sense there's the question of black people. We are on the move for our liberation. We have been tired of trying to prove thingsto white people. We are tired of trying to explain towhite peo ple that we’re not going to hurt them. We are concerned with getting the things we want, the thingsthat we have to have to be able to function. The question is, Can white people allow for that in this country? The question is, Will white people overe their racism andallow for that to happen in this country? If that doesnot happen, brothers and sisters, we have no choice butto say very clearly, "Move over, or we’re going to move on over you." Thank you.10.

I stand before you to proclaim tonight: America is the land where dreams can etrue for all of us. As I stand before the American people and think of the honor this great convention has bestowed upon me, I recall the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who made America stronger by making America more free. He said, "Occasionally in life there are moments whichcannot be pletely explained by words. Their meaning can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart." Tonight is such a moment for me. E: To all the children of America, I say: The generation before ourskept faith with us, and like them, we will pass on to you a stronger, more just America. Thank you.。
