[applause] we are making progress toward that goal. the prospects for peace are far greater today than they were a year ago. a major part of the credit for this development goes to the members of this congress who, despite their differences on the conduct of the war, have overwhelmingly indicated their support of a just peace. by this action, you have completely demolished the enemy's hopes that they can gain in washington the victory our fighting men have denied them in vietnam.
