They bore torches, which illuminated fitfully their flushed, impassioned faces. Here and there one carried a transparency described, "The Chinese Must Go."
At my request, the Congress enacted two extensions and two expansions in unemployment insurance which helped those who were jobless during 1975. These programs will continue in 1976.

We ask now, not how can we achieve abundance? but how shall we use our abundance? Not, is there abundance enough for all? but, how can all share in our abundance?
