As the determination of Columbus opened a new land. let us exemplorate that same courage in attacking economic. social. and political problems in this great country. Columbus had obstacles from the planning of his voyage up to the time he landed in the New World. but his "American persistence" drove him to success. This persistence. possessed by so many of the immigrants who followed Columbus to the new land. is needed now to save our children from drug addiction. to save our economy. and save our environment. There is no doubt that we are approaching a decade of crisis. but as our early American ancestors did not shrink from the challenge. let it not be said that we did not possess that same "American determination."
