Quota Area Quota Tonga, Kingdom of --- 100

Done at the City of Washington this fourth day of September in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-ninth.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 4, 1964, as National Highway Week in recognition of the importance of highway transportation to the social and economic progress and defense of our Nation; and I urge the Governors of the…

The Nurse Training Act of 1964 is the most significant nursing legislation in the history of our country.

So the Nurse Training Act of 1964 is recognition of the new needs of the profession, as well as the growing needs of all of our people.

Far too many people today suffer needlessly, or go without the attention they require, simply because we do not have enough well-trained nurses.

The best of health for all Americans is a primary national goal for all of us.

I believe the significance of this occasion goes far beyond these bills alone.

My regret at your leaving is tempered by satisfaction in the knowledge that you intend to continue your service to your country.

The land and water conservation bill assures our growing population that we will begin, as of this day, to acquire on a pay-as-you-go basis the outdoor recreation lands that tomorrow's Americans will require.
