Renunciation Speech

lyndon baines johnson: Renunciation Speech<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

good evening, my fellow americans:

tonight i want to speak to you of peace in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />vietnam and southeast asia. no other question so preoccupies our people. no other dream so absorbs the 250 million human beings who live in that part of the world. no other goal motivates american policy in southeast asia.

for years, representatives of our governments and others have traveled the world seeking to find a basis for peace talks. since last september they have carried the offer that i made public at san antonio. and that offer was this:

that the united states would stop its bombardment of north vietnam when that would lead promptly to productive discussions -- and that we would assume that north vietnam would not take military advantage of our restraint.

hanoi denounced this offer, both privately and publicly. even while the search for peace was going on, north vietnam rushed their preparations for a savage assault on the people, the government, and the allies of south vietnam. their attack -- during the tet holidays -- failed to achieve its principal objectives. it did not collapse the elected government of south vietnam or shatter its army -- as the communists had hoped. it did not produce a "general uprising" among the people of the cities, as they had predicted. the communists were unable to maintain control of any of the more than 30 cities that they attacked. and they took very heavy casualties. but they did compel the south vietnamese and their allies to move certain forces from the countryside into the cities. they caused widespread disruption and suffering. their attacks, and the battles that followed, made refugees of half a million human beings.

the communists may renew their attack any day. they are, it appears, trying to make 1968 the year of decision in south vietnam -- the year that brings, if not final victory or defeat, at least a turning point in the struggle.

this much is clear: if they do mount another round of heavy attacks, they will not succeed in destroying the fighting power of south vietnam and its allies. but tragically, this is also clear: many men -- on both sides of the struggle -- will be lost. a nation that has already suffered 20 years of warfare will suffer once again. armies on both sides will take new casualties. and the war will go on. there is no need for this to be so. there is no need to delay the talks that could bring an end to this long and this bloody war.

tonight, i renew the offer i made last august: to stop the bombardment of north vietnam. we ask that talks begin promptly, that they be serious talks on the substance of peace. we assume that during those talk ……此处隐藏11702个字……

第五篇：Speech

老师，各位学长学姐们，你们好！我是外国语学院10级英语2班的高雨。很荣幸能参加这次的全委面试。

我是一个严谨、踏实的人，在参加学生工作的近两年间，妥善处理好学习和工作的关系，学习成绩步步高升，工作不断进步。

我于2014年10月份加入外国语学院学生会，先后任职院学生会文艺部干事、外联部副部长。在第十届和第十一届外语文化节中，曾担任礼仪，主演获得获得外院话剧比赛一等奖的话剧《最美的女神》，负责外院赞助的宣讲工作，与天津各个高校开展学访活动，主持第十一届外语文化节的开闭幕式。

同年十月份，我加入了理工大学校学生会，先后担任外联部干事和组织部部长。在2014年校元旦晚会中与时代数码广场洽谈成功，为晚会提供了2500元的赞助。与天津市太阳村开展合作，为晚会提供了精彩的拉丁舞表演。在2014年校元旦晚会中，负责节目的审核，现场催场和音响的工作。导演的话剧《学生--会我们在路上》演绎了学生会工作人员的辛苦与不易，寓意深刻，让人感同身受。

拥有了两年学习工作经验的我，脚踏实地，厚积薄发，决心将自己的经验和能力更好的运用到以后的学习工作当中去，虽然我还年轻，各方面存在不足，但是真心希望能够在老师的亲切指导下，学长学姐的热情帮助下，同学们的积极配合下，弥补不足，勇往直前，为进一步提升理工大学影响力，进一步改善理工莘莘学子的学习和生活水平，而竭尽奉献自己微薄的力量。希望老师和学长学姐们给我这个机会。

我愿意为配合老师、配合学生会更好的开展学生工作，对我所工作的中心作出合理的调整。。。。。我都将保持热情，保持积极性。
