-\nTONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT\nANOTHER FORM OF INDEPENDENCE.\nTEN MONTHS AGO, WHEN I ADDRESSED THE UNITED STATES\nCONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I SAID THE STATE OF THE\nUNION WAS NOT GOOD.\nI CALLED ON THE CONGRESS AND\nTHE COUNTRY TO MOVE IN A NEW DIRECTION.\nI POINTED OUT\nTHE \"WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING TO SEE HOW WE RESPOND.\"\n- 14 -\nTHIS EVENING, \\ LET US LOOK AT THE STATE OF OUR\nECONOMY COMPARED TO THAT VERY UNCERTAIN TIME LAST JANUARY\nWHILE THE ECONOMY IS NOT MY CENTRAL THEME\nA\nIT IS ENERGY\n-\nNEVERTHELESS THE HEALTH OF OUR ECONOMY IS UNALTERABLY\nLINKED TO A STABLE AND ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF ENERGY.\n- 15 - -\nLAST JANUARY, SIMULTANEOUS RECESSION AND\nINFLATION WHIP-SAWED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE +\nCAUGHT IN\nTHE MIDDLE.\nTHE MONEY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE\nWAS BEING ERODED BY DOUBLE-DIGIT INFLATION WHILE RECESSION\nCUT DEEPLY INTO OUR NATIONAL PRODUCTION AND EMPLOYMENT.\n- 16 -\nTODAY, ALTHOUGH WE STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO,\nTHE ECONOMY IS WELL ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY,\nWE ARE MAKING MARKED PROGRESS.\n- 17 -\nTHE SIGNS OF THIS PROGRESS ARE CLEAR FOR ALL TO SEE\nOUR GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1975\n11%\nINCREASED BY MORE THAN ELEVEN PERCENT\n+\nTHE BIGGEST\nQUARTERLY INCREASE IN TWO DECADES.\nTHAT'S PROGRESS.\n- 18 -\nINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION ROSE AT AN ANNUAL RATE\n20% 20 %\nOF TWENTY PERCENT DURING THIS SAME PERIOD -- THE\nBIGGEST QUARTERLY INCREASE IN MORE THAN A DECADE --\nAND PRODUCTIVITY AMONG AMERICAN WORKERS HAS BEEN STEADILY\nIMPROVING FOR MONTHS.\nAND THAT'S PROGRESS.\n-19-\nTHE NUMBER OF AMERICANS WITH JOBS WENT UP BY\nNEARLY 1.6 MILLION FROM MARCH THROUGH OCTOBER ALONE --\nAND THAT'S PROGRESS.\nFOR THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS, WE'VE HAD A SURPLUS OF\nA BILLION-DOLLARS-A-MONTH IN OUR BALANCE OF TRADE WITH OTHER\nCOUNTRIES -- AND THAT'S PROGRESS, TOO.\n- 20 -\nINFLATION HAS BEEN CUT ALMOST IN HALF BETWEEN\n12%\n1974 AND 1975 -- DOWN FROM THE TWELVE PERCENT RANGE TO THE\n6%\nSIX PERCENT RANGE.\nTHAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH --\nit is\nBUT IT'S PROGRESS.\nTHESE ARE ALL SIGNS OF GROWING ECONOMIC STRENGTH\nAND STABILITY AND VITALITY.\n-21-\nTHIS PAST YEAR HAS NOT SEEN THE DECLINE OF AMERICA\nPREDICTED BY so MANY LAST JANUARY.\nIT HAS WITNESSED\nA RESURRECTION OF THE TRADITIONAL VALUES OF HARD WORK AND\nTOUGHNESS-OF-SPIRIT THAT HAVE ALWAYS CHARACTERIZED\nTHE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY.\n- 22 -\nBelieve me\nNO ONE ON EARTH WILL BURY US UNLESS WE BURY OURSELVES,\nII\n1\nTHE ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES OF 1975\n\\\nCONTRARY TO THE\nFORECASTS OF FEAR\n-\nWERE A SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT-FORWARD\nCHALLENGE TO ACHIEVEMENT.\nTONIGHT, I REMIND YOU: \\ WE NOT ONLY ACCEPTED\nTHAT CHALLENGE, WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.\n- 23 -\nBUT I MUST FRANKLY ADMIT DISAPPOINTMENT IN\nGETTING THE CONGRESS TO MOVE ON ENERGY.\nLAST FEBRUARY,\nI\nTHE LEADERS OF THE CONGRESS MET WITH ME AT THE WHITE HOUSE\nAND SOLEMNLY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD HAVE AN ENERGY PROGRAM\nON MY DESK BY THE END OF APRIL.\nWHEN THEY FAILED,\nTHEY ASKED FOR MORE TIME, PROMISING AGAIN TO HAVE AN\nan additional\nENERGY PROGRAM ON MY DESK WITHIN 45 DAYS.\n1\n- - 24 -\nwill\nAS WE MEET HERE TONIGHT, THE WIND AND SNOW\n1\nOF A NEW WINTER ARE BEGINNING TO WHIP ACROSS SOME AREAS\nBut\nOF THE COUNTRY.\nLIKE THE FLOWERS OF SPRING, THE\n1\nENERGY PROMISES OF THE CONGRESS ARE FADED AND GONE.\n-25-\nso FAR THIS YEAR, PROPOSED ENERGY LEGISLATION\nHAS BEEN INCORPORATED IN NEARLY 2,500 BILLS AND TIED UP\nIN 29 DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.\nTONIGHT, I CALL ON THE CONGRESS ONCE AGAIN TO\nACT RESPONSIBLY\nTO PROVIDE THIS NATION WITH A PROGRAM\nWHICH WILL PUT US ON THE ROAD TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.\n- - 26 -\nWE MUST MOVE ON THIS PROGRAM NOW\nNOT AFTER\nBut\nNEXT YEAR'S NATIONAL ELECTIONS\nNOW.\nTHE AMERICAN\nPEOPLE MUST HAVE RESPONSIBLE AND REALISTIC LEGISLATION\nTHAT WILL ACCOMPLISH OUR NATIONAL NEEDS AND GOALS.\n- 27 -\nAS PART OF THIS PROGRAM, WE MUST DEVELOP\nOUR MOST ABUNDANT AND MOST KNOWN ENERGY SOURCES --\nAND, AS ALL OF YOU HERE IN WEST VIRGINIA KNOW,\nTHAT'S COAL.\nCOAL RESOURCES TOTAL MORE THAN\nTHREE TRILLION TONS -- A SUPPLY THAT GUARANTEES THE\nUNITED STATES LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF ENERGY.\n- - 28 -\nTHE FACT IS THAT WE ARE NOT so MUCH SQUANDERING\nOUR FUEL RESOURCES AS WE ARE IGNORING THEM.\nWE ARE\nLIKE A MAN IN A DESERT WHO IS DYING FOR WATER WHILE\nAN OASIS LIES JUST BEYOND THE HORIZON.\n- 29 -\nUNLESS WE DEVELOP THE ENERGY SOURCES THAT SURROUND\nUS\nTAKE THE DIFFICULT STEPS REQUIRED TO MAKE THEM USABLE\n-\nOUR THIRST FOR FUEL WILL CREATE SEVERE HARDSHIPS FOR\nOURSELVES AND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.\n- 30 -\nWHILE I AM PRESIDENT, THE FATE AND FUTURE OF\nAMERICA WILL NOT BE LEFT TO UNDEPENDABLE FOREIGN SOURCES\nOF\nENERGY. \\\\ IN THE NEXT 25 TO 50 YEARS, OIL AND GAS --\nCONSTITUTING MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF THE FUEL WE NOW USE --\nMAY BE FAR TOO COSTLY TO BURN AT ANY PRICE.\n-31-\nBUT OUR NATIONAL COAL RESERVES HAVE MORE\nPOTENTIAL AND ARE MORE PRECIOUS TO YOUR FUTURE --\nAND YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE -- THAN ALL THE MIDDLE EAST\nRESERVES OF FUEL AND ALL OF THE FUEL THROUGHOUT THIS\nVAST GLOBE. THE UNITED STATES CAN NOT AND WILL NOT\nBASE ITS NATIONAL DESTINY ON ENERGY THAT BELONGS TO\nOTHER NATIONS.\nTHAT IS NOT OUR NATIONAL FUTURE.\nTO DO so WOULD BE OUR NATIONAL FOLLY.\n- 32 -\nWE CAN AND WE MUST DEVELOP OUR OWN\nNATIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES WITHOUT DESPOILING THE\nENVIRONMENT.\nIMPROVED MINING TECHNOLOGY CAN\nENSURE SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND PRODUCTION OF COAL,\nWE CAN AND MUST PRODUCE TECHNOLOGY TO BURN COAL\nDIRECTLY WITHOUT PRODUCING ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.\n- 33 -\nWE DO NOT HAVE A SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES\nWE DO HAVE A SHORTAGE OF USEABLE ENERGY -- AND A SHORTAGE\nOF DETERMINATION IN THE CONGRESS TO ACT, BECAUSE THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF AN ENERGY PROGRAM INVOLVES POLITICALLY\nDIFFICULT DECISIONS.\nBUT THE CONGRESS MUST CARRY OUT\nITS RESPONSIBILITIES.\n- 34 -\nWE CAN PRODUCE AMERICAN ENERGY WITH AMERICAN\nMONEY \\\\\nAN AMERICAN WORK FORCE AND AMERICAN\nTECHNOLOGY\n-\\-\\--\nFOR AN AMERICAN FUTURE.\n- 35 -\nAS I SAID EARLIER, THE \"WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING\nTO SEE HOW WE RESPOND.\"\nECONOMICALLY, WE ARE\nON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.\nIN ENERGY, \\ WE ARE STILL\nAT A STANDSTILL.\n- 36 -\nTHE CHOICE IS UP TO THE CONGRESS:\nTO STAND STILL\nIN ENERGY\nTO RETREAT FROM RESPONSIBILITY AND REALITY\nt\nTO THREATEN OUR ECONOMIC RECOVERY -- OR TO MOVE FORWARD\nWITH LEGISLATION THAT WILL PRODUCE ENERGY AND ECONOMIC\nSTABILITY FOR THIS NATION.\n- 37 -\nI BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT --\nAS THEY ALWAYS HAVE -- RESPONSIBILITY AND REALITY\nWE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE PREPARED TO PROVIDE IT --\nTO PROVIDE THIS NATION WITH STRENGTH AT HOME AND ABROAD.\nand, we will\n- 38 -\nFROM MY TRAVELS ACROSS AMERICA, I AM CONVINCED\nOF THIS:\nTHE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS IN TUNE WITH THE HOPES\nAND ASPIRATIONS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE\n-\nWITH THEIR DESIRES\nAND THEIR WANTS.\n- 39 - -\nTit'be be sparfic\nIN PARTICULAR,\n\\ I HAVE FOUND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE\nWANT ENERGY INDEPENDENCE -- AND so DO WE IN THE REPUBLICAN\nPARTY.\nTHEY WANT A SOUND ECONOMY -- AND so DO WE.\n- - 40 -\nTHEY WANT GOOD HOUS ING,\nGOOD FOOD\nAND A\nGOOD FUTURE FOR THEIR FAMILIES -- AND so DO WE.\nTHEY WANT THE 28 BILLION DOLLAR TAX CUT\nI PROPOSED TO THE CONGRESS so THEY CAN SPEND THEIR\nOWN MONEY RATHER THAN HAVE federal THE GOVERNMENT DO IT --\nfor them them\n1\n1\nAND so DO WE.\n- 41 -\nAT THE SAME TIME,\nTHEY WANT A 28 BILLION DOLLAR\nREDUCTION IN THE GROWTH OF FEDERAL SPENDING AS A START\nTOWARD A BALANCED BUDGET -- AND so DO WE.\nTHEY WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP MEET THEIR NEEDS\nWITHOUT ORDERING THEIR LIVES -- AND so DO WE.\nPeople the fingth of wealth\nofthis land Government gove harring big enough\na us worgthy we to want, tabe\nto quick Hort by enough HAVE\nfrom isn no everything we\n- 42 -\nTHEY WANT AN AMERICA AT PEACE AND ACTIVELY\nPROMOTING PEACE WITH A STRONG INTELLIGENCE CAPABILITY\nTO INSURE OUR PROTECTION -- AND so DO WE.\nTHEY WANT AN AMERICAN DEFENSE SECOND TO NONE --\nAND so DO WE.\n- 43 -\nIF WE SUCCESSFULLY CARRY THIS MESSAGE\nTO THE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA AND TO VOTERS ACROSS AMERICA\nIN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS, WE CAN MAKE 1976 A GREAT YEAR\nFOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY -- AND FOR THIS GREAT COUNTRY\nOF OURS.\nBUT WE NEED THE KIND OF CONTINUING SUPPORT\nYOU ARE PROVIDING BY YOUR PRESENCE HERE TONIGHT.\n- 44 -\nTHE DECISIONS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MAKE\nLESS\nTHAN ONE YEAR FROM NOW WILL SHAPE THE COURSE OF THIS\nCOUNTRY WELL INTO OUR THIRD CENTURY OF INDEPENDENCE.\n- 45 -\nLET'S MAKE SURE WE DECIDE FOR AN AMERICA AT PEACE,\nFOR A NATION RENEWED, FOR A PEOPLE WITH PRIDE,\nFOR A\nFUTURE THAT SUMMONS US TO NEW ACHIEVEMENT AND GLORY AND\nGREATNESS.\nWITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN DO IT!\nTHANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.\nEND OF TEXT"
