Highlights
of the Address
By 1980, we knew i was time to
renew our faith, to sOrs with All our
strength toward the Ultimate in
individual freedom consistent with
an orderly society. We believed then
and now there are no Hi-nits to
growth and Minian progress when
?men and Women are free to follow
their dreams. And we were right to
believe that.
?
We must never again abuse the
trust of working men and women by
sending their earninis on a futile
chase after the spiraling demands of
a bloated Federal establishment. You
elected us in 1980 to end this
prescription for disaster. And I don't
believe you re-elected uS in 1984 to
reverse course.

growing economy and support
from family and comniunity offer our
best chance for a society where
compassion is a way of life, where the
old and infirM are cared for, the
young and, yes, the unborn,
P, and the unfortunate
looked after ?and made self-sufficient.
?
America must remain freedom's
staunchest friend, for freedomis our
best ally, and it is the world's only
hope to conquer poverty arid
preserve peace. very blow we inflict
against poverty will be a blow
against its dark, allies of oppression
and war. ?
American, I remember time when people of
different race, c ethnic origin in our
land found hatred and prejudice installed in
social custom and, yes, in law. There's no
story more heartening in our history than the
progress that we've made toward the broth-
erhood of man that God intended for us. Let
us resolve: There will be no turning back or
hesitation on the road to an America rich in
dignity and abundant with opportunity for all
our citizens.
Let us resolve that we, the people, will
build an American opportunity society in
which all of us ? white and black, rich and
poor, young and old ? will go forward togeth-
er, arm in arm. Again, let us remember that,
though our heritage is one of blood lines from
every comer of the earth, we are all Amer-
icans pledged to carry on this last best hope
of man on earth.
Safety and Security
And I have spoken of our domestic goals,
and the limitations we should put on our na-
tional government. Now let me turn to a task
that iS the primary responsibility of national
government ? the safety and security of our
people.
Today we utter no prayer more fervently
than the ancient prayer for peace on earth.
Yet history has shown that peace does not
come, nor will our freedom be preserved, by
good will alone. There are those in the world
who scorn our visibir of human dignity and
freedom. Oa net*, the Soviet Union, has
conducted the greatest military buildup in
the history of man, building arsenals of awe-
some offensive weapons. ?
We've made progress in restoring our de-
fense capability. But much remains to be
done. There must be no wavering by us, nor
any doubts by others, that America will meet'
her responsibilities to remain free, secure,
and at peace.
There is only one way safely and legit'-
, mately to reduce the cost of national securi-
ty, and that is to reduce the need for it. And
this we're trying to do in negotiations with the
Soviet Union. We're not just discussing limits
on a further increase of nuclear weapons. We
seek, instead, to reduce their number. We
seek the total elimination, one day, of _nuclear
_ weapons from the face of the earth.
Now for decades we and the Soviets have
lived under the threat of mutual assured de-
struction; if either resorted to the use of nu-
clear weapons, the other could retaliate and
destroy the one who had started it. Is there ei-
ther logic or morality in believing that if one
side threatens to kill tens of millions of our
people, otr only recourse is to threaten kill-
ing tens of millions of theirs?
Missile Security Shield
I have approved a research program to
_ find, if we can, a security shield that will de-
troy nuclear missiles before they reach their
target It wouldn't kill people, it would de-
stroy weapons. It wouldn't militarize space,

,
it would help demilitarize the arsenals of
earth. sit-vioulci render nuclear weapons ohSo-
lete. We will meet with the Soviets hoping
that we can agree on a way to rid the world of
the threat of nuclear destruction.
We strive for peace and security, heart-
ened by the changes all around us. Since the
turn of the century, the number of democra-
cies in the world has grown fourfold. Human
freedom is .on the march, and nowhere more
so than in our own hemisPhere. Frec.doni is
one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of
the human spirit. People worldwide hunger
for the right of sell-determination, for those
inalienable,rights that make for human dig-
nity and progress.
America-must remain freedom's staun-
chest friend, for freedom is our best ally, and
it is the world's only hope to conquer poigrty
and preserve peace. Every blow we inflict
against poverty will be a blow against its
dark allies of oppression and war. Every vic-
tory for human freedom will be a victory for
world peace. .
So we go forward today a. nation still
mighty in its youth and powerful in its pur-
pose. With Our 'alliances strengthened, with
our economy leading the world to a new age
of economic expansion, we look to a future
rich in possibilities. And all of this is ?because
we worked and acted together, not as mem-
bers of political parties., but as :kmericans.
My friends, we, we live in a world that's lit
by lightning. So much is changing and will
change, but so much endures and transcends
time.
Echoes of Our Past
History is a ribbon, always unfurling; his-
tory is a journey. And as we continue on our
journey we think of those who traveled before
us. We stand again at the steps of this symbol
of our democracy, or. we would've been
standing at the steps if it hadn't gotten so
celd. Now, we're standing inside thisSyriabol
of our democracy, and we see and hear again
the echoes of our past, ,
A general falls to his knees in the hard
snow ef Valley Forge; a lonely President
paces the darkened halls and powers, pon-
ders his struggle to preserve the Union; the
men of the Alamo call out encouragement to

song, and the song echoes out forever and
. ?
It is the American sound: It is hopeful, big.,

That's our heritage, that's our song. We sing
it still For all our problems, our differences,
we are together as of old. We raise our voices
to the God who is the author of this most
tender music. And may He continue to hold
us close as we fill the world with our sand,
sound? in unity, affection and love. One pea'
ple under God, dedicated to the dream of
freedom that He has placed in the human
heart, called upon now to pass that dream on
to a waiting and a hopeful world.
God bless you and may God bless America.

protect the pomp of the day's cur-
tailed activities, the Reagan knack
for making a virtue of a shifting stage
was 'once again on display. White
House officials were pleased at Mr.
Reagan's adapting to an indoor
swearing-in, lowering and softening
his voice from his outdoor cadences to
make a More effective delivery of his
Inaugural Address in the echoing Ro-
tunda.
The scores of thousands of would-be
witnesses whose outdoor inaugural
tickets proved worthless had to resort
to television, and there they could see
an eclectic display of celebrity pro-
files. These included Rotunda statues
of historic heroes, dozens of flesh-
and-blood senators and James Stew-
art, Mr. Reagan's Old Hollywood
friend, who gazed raptly from the
crowd as if he were still cast as Mr.
' Smith gone to Washington.
Like an Inn in Snow Belt
The White House resembled a busy
winte,r-boiu4 inn, starting with a
switchboard wake-up call to the Rea-
gans at 7:30 AM. and ending with the
glow of fireplaces.
The Reagans had breakfast trays, of
Orange juice, cold cereal, decaffei-
nated coffee and wheat toast with
honey. Then they moved like old
troupers toward the altered day of
ceremonial prayer, inaugural orato-
iv, wardrobe changes and nine par-
ties crammed with envious, celebrat-
ing politicians.
The day offered the Reagans Vari-
ous challenges, including a caloric
threat when they sat down to lunch
with Congressional leaders. The
' menu included mousse of sole, medal-
lions of veal, praline souffl?nd Cali-
fornia wines.
Closer to home, the Reagans had to
track down a baby sitter for the
youngest Reagan grandchild, Mi-
chael and Colleen's 20-month-old
daughter, Ashley, while most of the
rest of the clan went out to the balls.
The Reagans. son, Ron, and his wife,
Doria, chose to invite friends over for
a less public evening at the White
House while the President was out.
Bach Played at Church
The sounds of the Reagans' day ex-
tended from Bach at St. John's
Church across from the White House
in the morning to some Lester Lanin
at one of the busy dance floors in the
evening where celebrants gladly
swayed to the Reagans' tune.
The President and his wife did their
own swaying at the Capital Center in
midafternoon when a booming band
version of their campaign theme,
"God Bless the U.S.A.," proved infec-
tious and they joined hands to move in
pace with the arena crowd.
David Hempill,? an 18-year-old
member of the band from Sapulpa
High School in Oklahoma, said his
group's weeks of fund-raising and 30-
hour trip to Washington had been
rescued by the ,Reagatie visit even
though the parade was frozen out. "It
was worth it," he said.
The colors of the Reagan's long day
were mostly patriotic. There was the
red in the cheeks of tourists who
began stopping outside the White
House to photograph the empty and
useless reviewing
stand. There was the blue of the
Adolfo outfit and hat worn by Mrs.
Reagan. There was the wintry white-
ness of the capital itself, which
seemed to reflect the lines of "Amer- 4.
ica the Beautiful," sung to the Rea-
gans at St. John's Church early in the
day: "Thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears." _

Both Parties Applaud call
e
For cooperation on Goals
By STEVEN V. ROBERTS
Special to lbs New York Thud
,
WASHINGTON San. 21 --1. Lawmak-
ers of both parties applauded President
Reagan's call today for a bipartisan ap-
proach to the IlaCipift Major problems,
but Democrats warned that he would
ave to get more deeply involved in the
legislative process if Congress wat to
find solutions.
The inauguration of a President "is
not a day for partisan politics," said
Senator Alan Cranston, Democrat of
California, and it was perhaps sym-
bolic that the lawmakers crowded into
the Capitol Rotunda to hear the presi-
dent were not separated along party
lines, as they are at legislative ses-
sions. ,
The President's speech generated a
warm response among many lawmak-
ers that was summed up by Represent-
ative Ben Erdreich, an Alabama
Democrat. "The President has a won-
derful way of articulating the goals,
that all Americans share," Mr.
Erdreich said. "Today, as he put it,
we're all Americans."
Former Senator Howard H. Baker
Jr., who Was the, Republican leader,
took note of the instability that has
plagued American politics in recent
years. "It was a good second Inaugural
Address," he said, "and we haven't
had one of those in a while." '
An Appeal for Cooperation
Rotunda after the speech, many said
? ., , ,
As the legislators milled about the
they were most struck by the Presi-
dent's appeal for less partisanship in
Congress and his plea that the legisla-
tive system works best "when we come
together not as Democrats or Republi-
cans, but as Americans united in this
common cause." t
Senator Patrick I. Leah), Democrat
of Vermont, offered a comment that
was typical. "I hope the President rea/-
izes that got his biggest applause when
he talked about bipartisan ap-
proaches," Mr. Leahy said. 'I hope he
realizes that the best chance he has of
working out a bipartisan coalition is
right now, if he wants to, on the budget
and the deficit. If the opportunity is
lost, it will be lost for, the rest of his
term."
But many Democrats argued that
Mr. Reagan would have to change_his
approach toward Congress to achieve
that coalition in his second term., In
particular, many Demncrats, such as
Representative Bob Carr, Democrat of
Michigan, are concerned because they
say 11V. Reagan iS not willing to make
the tough and unpopular decisions nec-
essary to trim the Federal budget deft-
cit and is leaving the dirty work to C

"Bipartisanship" for this President
appears to be a one-way street,"
Carr said. "I'm all for bipartisansiliI'
but it's got to be a two-way street. ,)
: "The question
Representative Richard A. Gephardt
of Missouri, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Caucus, add
remains whether the 'President really
wants to make the accommodations
necessary to get something done.
That's not clear yet."

Upbeat Bush Takes Oath Surrounde by Friends and Family
?
By GERALD M. BOYD
Special to The New York Times
WASHINGTON, /an. 21 George
Herbert Walker push, surrounded by
friends and family and with a hand
resting On the same Bible he used four
years age, was publicly sworn in today
for a second term as Vice President.
At a ceremony beneath the dome of
the Capitol, Mr. Bush firmly repeated
the oath of office as it was adminis-
tered by his longtime friend, former
Justice Potter Stewart of the Supreme
Court. Mr. Bush's wife, Barbara, held
the Bible, which was a gift from the
Rev: Billy Graham. '
Mr. Bush, who appeared to be in high
spirits throughout the day, recited the
oath at the Soleil-in ritual about 13
minutes before it was administered to
President Reagan. At one point, Mr.
Stewart stumbled by saying, "I take
this oath, this obligation freely." But
the Vice President smoothly omitted
the extraneous words "this oath."
Praise for CeremlAnu
' 1
doors after cold swept the City.'
Mr. Bush said a "marvelous ceremo-
ny" had been brought to the "attention
of the American people and indeed
worldwide." -
In consoling the students, who had
planned to participate in the parade,
Mr. Bush said:
"Thanks for all you're doing, thanks
for what you've done'. My only regret is
that we didn't get to sit in that review-
ing stand and see the majesty of the pa-
rade, but I think in a sense, we under-
stand certain!), what it is you have
brought here. '
No Apprehension Now
Aides described Mr. Bush, who spent
part of the afternoon Working out in the
House Gymnasium, as feeling "terrif-
ic" and without the apprehension with
which he greeted the job four years
ago.
"He feels very good, great," said
Peter Teeley, Mr. Bush's press spokes-
man. "It's been a very pleasair

Easing in Relationship ,
"With these trusted people leaving,
there is a certain ease of relationship
between the President and me now
after four years of growing in that
sense," Mr. Bush said today on the
ABC television program "Good Morn-
ing America."
Mr. Bush said he wanted "to support
the President, support our policies."
, "I have had a hand in formulating
them and shaping them," he said,
After the interview, Mr. Bush, 60
years old, attended services at St
John's Church. He then went to the
inauguration ceremony, where a num-
ber of family members were on hand,
including two grandchildren, tWo
brothers, a sister and all five of his chil-
dren.
oved For Release 2010/09/13:
After the Vice President took the
oath beneath murals depicting Amer-
ican historical scenes, Mrs. Bush gave
him a kiss. He acknowledged Justice
Stewart with a "thank you, Potter,"
Mr. Stewart, who attended Yale Uni-
versity, as did Mr. Bush, had also
sworn in Mr. Bush as chief delegate to
the United Nations, al Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence and as Vice President
in 1981.
The Marine Band then struck up
"Hail, Columbia," the Vice-Presiden-
tial theme.
, As Mr. Reagan's party departed the
Rotunda, Mr. Bush bent over for a brief
conversation with Senator John CL
Stennis, Democrat of Mississippi, who
has been ill. The Vice President also
warmly greeted other senators and
representatives packed into the Rotun-
da, which is less than 100 feet across.
On Sunday, at the official swearing-
in, Mr. Bush had used a Bible pre-
sented to him by the Rev. Thoma
CIA-RDP90-00552R00050537
where Mrs. Bush used to teach Sunda
school.
Both it and the Bible from Mr. Gra.
