"Historically the strength of America has resided primarily in two areas. First of course are the personal and economic freedoms which the founders of this country wisely delegated to all who are citizens of the land. And second the strength of America has come from the application of those freedoms to the development and production of a constantly expanding array of goods and services for the benefit of our own people and for sale throughout the world. This has been and continues to be the American way."
