It was Franklin Roosevelt who said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." We can be free of the fears that harass us. We can participate wisely in foreign affairs without unduly placing the health or financial well being of our people or the sovereignty of our nation at risk. We can eliminate violence from our streets. And we can do so while maintaining a free and fair society. We have successfully met every challenge that has ever faced us. We need not fear that we will be unable to meet those before us today.
