[3:54] Woo!

[6:28] Mr. Chairman,

[6:30] delegates and alternates to this

[6:32] Republican Convention, I am honored by

[6:35] your nomination and I accept it.

[6:53] With pride, with gratitude, and with a

[6:56] total will to win a great victory for

[6:59] the American people.

[7:09] We will wage a winning campaign in every

[7:12] region of this country

[7:14] from the snowy banks of Minnesota to the

[7:17] sandy plains of Georgia.

[7:32] We concede not a single state. We

[7:35] concede not a single vote.

[7:45] This evening, I am proud to stand before

[7:48] this great convention as the first

[7:51] incumbent president since Dwight D.

[7:53] Eisenhower who can tell the American

[7:57] people America is at peace.

[8:17] TONIGHT, I CAN TELL YOU straight away

[8:20] this nation is sound. This nation is

[8:23] secure. This nation is on the march to

[8:26] full economic recovery and a better

[8:29] quality of life for all Americans.

[8:43] And I'll tell you one more thing.

[8:46] This year, the issues are on our side.

[8:50] I'm ready. I'm eager to go before the

[8:53] American people and debate the real

[8:56] issues FACE-TO-FACE WITH JIMMY CARTER.

[9:31] FOUR MORE YEARS!

[9:33] FOUR MORE YEARS!

[9:36] FOUR MORE YEARS!

[9:38] Four more years!

[9:59] Done.

[10:00] The American people have a right to know

[10:02] firsthand exactly where both of us

[10:06] stand.

[10:12] I am deeply grateful to those who stood

[10:14] with me in winning the nomination

[10:17] of the parties whose cause I have served

[10:19] all of my adult life.

[10:21] I respect the convictions of those who

[10:24] want to change in Washington. I want to

[10:26] change, too. After 22 long years of

[10:31] majority misrule, let's change the

[10:34] United States Congress.

[10:52] My gratitude tonight

[10:54] reaches far beyond this arena

[10:57] to countless friends
