broad to the urgent needs of our people at home. The American dream does not e to those who fall asleep. But we are approaching the limits of what government alone can do. Our greatest need now is to reach beyond government, and to enlist the legions of the concerned and the mitted. What has to be done, has to be done by government and people together or it will not be done at all. The lesson of past agony is that without the people we can do nothing。 with the people we can do everything. To match the magnitude of our tasks, we need the energies of our peopleenlisted not only in grand enterprises, but more importantly in those small, splendid efforts that make headlines in the neighborhood newspaper instead of the national journal. With these, we can build a great cathedral of the spiriteach of us raising it one stone at a time, as he reaches out to his neighbor, helping, caring, doing. I do not offer a life of uninspiring ease. I do not call for a life of grim sacrifice. I ask you to join in a high adventureone as rich as humanity itself, and as exciting as the times we live in.

Let us take as our goal: where peace is unknown, make it wele。 where peace is fragile, make it strong。 where peace is temporary, make it permanent. After a period of confrontation, we are entering an era of negotiation. Let all nations know that during this administration our lines of munication will be open. We seek an open worldopen to ideas, open to the exchange of goods and peoplea world in which no people, great or small, will live in angry isolation. We cannot expect to make everyone our friend, but we can try to make no one our enemy. Those who would be our adversaries, we invite to a peaceful petitionnot in conquering territory or extending dominion, but in enriching the life of man. As we expl
