Senator KENNEDY. Mr. Mayor, needless to say
this is not my automobile. [Laughter.] I want to express my thanks to all
of you for coming out with the mayor with the keys. I am, as you know,
the Democratic candidate for the Office of the Presidency of the United
States. I will tell you what our policy is, and that is to advance the
power and influence and prestige of this country so that we are secure
and so that we can live in peace and so that we advance the cause of freedom
around the world. [Applause.] And what is our policy here in the United
States? It is to make more secure the life of our citizens, to make sure
that those who want to work can find a job, to make sure that those who
are retired have security, for those who are retired to have housing and
medical care. This is a great country, but I think we can make it a greater
country. This is a powerful country, but I think we can make it a more
powerful country. I ask your help in this campaign. I ask you to join us
in this great effort, to start the United States moving again in the great
years of the 1960's. I ask your help. We are going to win it. [Applause.]
