The Nation Can No Longer Afford To

I Am Here Before You Tonight To Dedicate This Administration To Bringing A New Renaissance Of Neighborhood Life And Community Spirit, A Renewal Of Confidence In The Future Of Our City And A Revival Of Opportunity For All Chicago.

But I Am Committed To Keeping This City A Strong And Viable Center For Commerce And Industry, For Continuing To Make It A Place Of Opportunity For Its Citizens.

The Cooperation Of Government At Its Different Levels Is Important And Can Only Be Achieved As Long As The People Of Chicago Are Directly Involved In Our Efforts And Supportive Of Our Goals.

In The Housing Projects, People Talked Of Ways To Reduce Crime, Relieve Overcrowding, And They Were Good Ideas That We Plan To Study, And Possibly Implement.

The People Ask Much, Often More Than Any Government Can Give. We Must Resist The Temptation To Promise Solutions To All Problems.
