00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:41.300
He has referred to the fact that an education in America has become second, that science in America is second.

2
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.840
He has said that our economy is going to become second, that we're drifting away as far as our prestige.

3
00:00:48.580 --> 00:00:54.880
He has also indicated that as far as the United States position generally in the world is concerned,

4
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.640
that we've been standing still and that our opponents have been moving ahead.

5
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:02.860
It's time to set the record straight, and I set it straight today.

6
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:09.080
My friends, there are things wrong with this country. We've got to move our education ahead.

7
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:16.000
We have to see it that no young American who has the ability to have a college education

8
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.480
is denied that opportunity because of lack of finances, and we have a program that will do it.

9
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:27.000
We've got to see to it that we move ahead in science, and we have a program for breakthroughs that will move ahead in magic.

10
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:32.020
We have to move ahead in atomic energy, particularly in peace time uses.

11
00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:40.000
I announced a program for that last night. In all of these areas we must move ahead, but let's see where we are now and let's get the truth.

12
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:46.280
Economically, we're twice as productive as the Soviet Union and we're going to stay that way if we remain serious.

13
00:01:48.660 --> 00:01:53.760
Education. Now look, I have seen universities in the Soviet Union and I have seen them here.

14
00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:58.600
Scientifically, I have seen their scientific institutes abroad and I have seen them here.

15
00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:09.020
We are ahead overall in science, we're ahead overall in education, and we will stay ahead if we don't ate their atheistic scientific materialism in the United States.
