Remember when the president of the united federation of planets is giving his speech while the assassin is preparing in his lookout? That speech included something like, "let us redefine progress. Just because we can do a thing doesn't mean we must do that thing..." and it was pretty good. Other than the movie itself, is there a video of that speech? And, was there more to it?

TLDR; it appears to not have any deleted scenes, or extra recordings of this scene, ive included two scripts, one of which appears to have a few more lines that may not have been in the movie.
[Camp Khitomer conference hall]

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: Let us redefine progress to mean that just because we can do a thing it does not necessarily follow that we must do that thing.

But in this second script i found these additional lines
We are gathered here today in high hopes, believing that differing civilizations of good will can work together to overcome intolerance. We believe that with understanding and patience it will be possible to resolve what separates us. We believe that the responsibility for destiny rests squarely on our own shoulders...
However this second script, which includes stage directions, is also missing some of the actual dialogue. second script

While this is a good answer, it does not answer the actual question that was asked - is there a video of the speech? Dec 9, 2015 at 22:45
