Remarks of Senator John Glenn at his Declaration of Candidacy for the Office of President of the United States on Thursday, April 21, 1983 in New Concord, Ohio.
"Today, as I stand at the threshold of an even greater journey, my feelings are the same. I seek your support and God's guidance as once more I ask to serve my country.
With confidence that my life has prepared me for this challenge,
With dedication to the promise of opportunity and the pursuit of peace,
And with a firm belief that guided by the light of old values we can again reach new horizons,
I declare my candidacy for President of the United States."
