There is hereby established the Council for Urban Affairs.

Dr. Arthur Burns, a longtime friend and trusted adviser, has agreed to join the White House Staff as the Counsellor to the President.

Dr. Burns' role will be that of a generalist, dealing with a broad province of legislative and executive actions.

I do not think there will be any that will be more important.

Maybe you would like to hear a word from Pat, David, and Julie.

We welcome you now officially to the White House Staff.

I feel that with him by my side, we are going to be able to provide some direction and leadership to the Nation that the Nation wants and that the Nation needs.

It is ours, too, but it is yours, and we are glad to be here.

This house right now, I think, means more to us than it will ever mean in the future, because you are our friends and our people.

A President has to make a determination, a very important determination, as to who will be the first guests in the White House.

This is a great house.

Isn't it nice to have an Eisenhower in the White House again?

Mr. Chief Justice, ladies and gentlemen: This is the first official swearing in of this new administration.

In my book all of our friends are 'big shots.'

You may not see too much of them later.

For faceless men and women, I think they look very good, though, don't you, Mr. Chief Justice?

We had hoped and expected this morning, too, that we would have a chance to give you some refreshment of some sort.

It was to me a very great honor to be sworn in by the Chief Justice.
