For the first time in the Federal Republic's history,
a Social Democrat gave a government declaration before the German Bundestag.
Focal themes of Willy Brandt's reforms
are new science and education policies,
better relations with East Germany,
and a general peacekeeping policy.
We are determined
to preserve the security of the Federal Republic of Germany
and the solidarity of the German nation,
to keep the peace
and to contribute to the establishment of a European peace order.
We also wish to expand the civil liberties
and the prosperity of our people,
and to develop our country in such a way
that its position in tomorrow's world will be recognized and safeguarded.
We are not the chosen ones, we are the elected.
And that's why...
we seek a dialog with all those who care for this democracy.
No, we are not at the end of our democracy,
we are only just beginning.
We want to be and become a people of good neighbors
both between ourselves and toward the outside.
