I thank the Congress for its leadership at such an important time.
But by 1982, the board felt the need for new leadership.
Yet the nation still must look to him for leadership.
The 1980's are not a time for strong central leadership in Federal or state government.
I'm not going to be doing another national campaign for leadership.
The team will be looking at you and your staff for leadership.
How can we hope to expect the same from the rest of the world, looking to us for leadership?
Then when you challenge him for the leadership you'll be sure to win.
And there is a need for leadership that only America can provide.
In a matter of days the world would look to him for leadership and direction.
