I welcome the efforts of individual NATO Allies to work for peace in Africa and to support nations and people in need.

We know what can be the price of preserving precious ideals.

I do hereby call upon the American people to observe June 14, 1978 as Flag Day and the week beginning June 11, 1978 as National Flag Week.

I ask the American people to display our flag at their homes and other suitable places for the same period.

The task is not easy—the way to liberty has never been—but our nations preeminently comprise the region of the world where freedom finds its most hospitable environment.

We will continue to consult and to work closely with our allies to ensure that arms control efforts serve our common needs.

This bill has a different purpose.

This Alliance has guaranteed our own security here in the United States.

I would like to propose a toast on behalf of the people of the United States of America.

The mutual pledges of trust we exchanged here in 1949 still hold firm and true.

It is fitting that the University of Minnesota should have already taken the lead in establishing the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

The challenges we face as allies do not end here.

Ours is a defensive alliance.

We want a strong defense.

I ask all Americans to participate in local activities that reflect an understanding and appreciation of America and its institutions.
