To Me, The Presidency And The Vice-presidency

I Believe That Prayer In Public Schools Should Be Voluntary. It Is Difficult For Me To See How Religious Exercises Can Be A Requirement In Public Schools, Given Our Constitutional Requirement Of Separation Of Church And State. I Feel That The Highly Desirable Goal Of Religious Education Must Be Principally The Responsibility Of Church And Home. I Do Not Believe That Public Education Should Show Any Hostility Toward Religion, And Neither Should It Inhibit Voluntary Participation, If It Does Not Interfere With The Educational Process.

I Have Always Felt That The Real Purpose Of Government Is To Enhance The Lives Of People And That A Leader Can Best Do That By Restraining Government In Most Cases Instead Of Enlarging It At Every Opportunity.

I Once Told You That I Am Not A Saint, And I Hope Never To See The Day That I Cannot Admit Having Made A Mistake. So I Will Close With Another Confession. Frequently, Along The Tortuous Road Of Recent Months From This Chamber To The Presidents House, I Protested That I Was My Own Man. Now I Realize That I Was Wrong. I Am Your Man, For It Was Your Carefully Weighed Confirmation That Changed My Occupation. The Truth Is I Am The Peoples Man, For You Acted In Their Name, And I Accepted And Began My New And Solemn Trust With A Promise To Serve All The People And Do The Best That I Can For America.

I Strongly Support The Feeding Of Children.
