america will celebrate its 200th birthday. i say it because new knowledge and hard experience argue persuasively that both our programs and our institutions in america need to be reformed. the moment has arrived to harness the vast energies and abundance of this land to the creation of a new american experience, an experience richer and deeper and more truly a reflection of the goodness and grace of the human spirit. the '70's will be a time of new beginnings, a time of exploring both on the earth and in the heavens, a time of discovery. but the time has also come for emphasis on developing better ways of managing what we have and of completing what man's genius has begun but left unfinished. our land, this land that is ours together, is a great and a good land. it is also an unfinished land, and the challenge of perfecting it is the summons of the '70s. it is in that spirit that i address myself to those great issues facing our nation which are above partisanship. when we speak of america'sities the first priority must always be peace for america and the world. [applause] the major immediate goal of our foreign policy is to bring an end to the war in vietnam in a way that our generation will be remembered not so much as the generation that suffered in war, but more for the fact that we had the courage and character to win the kind of a just peace that the next generation was able to keep. [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. [applause] no goal could be greater than to make the next generation the first in this century in which amer

[applause] like the freedom of speech, the view of religion and the second amendment writes to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause] and remember the president nominates to a federal courts but it's the senate that confirms that many women that serve on our federal judiciary. so while the progress we have made would not have been possible without the strong and steadfast and unwavering support of senator david perdue and senator kelly loeffler. they stood strong when we appointed all those federal judges all across the country, and they were there when we c
