This bill would saddle new and unworkable burdens upon our Bureau of Customs at a time when we are trying to reduce Government expenditures.

Great nations must meet many tests.

We live in a world of 3 billion people, a world of disease and want and illiteracy, a world in which we are the most fortunate of all peoples.

I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning March 1, 1964, as Save Your Vision Week.

Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America do hereby proclaim the month of February 1964 as American Heart Month.

I urge the people of the United States to give heed to the nationwide problem of the heart and blood-vessel diseases, and to support the programs required to bring about its solution.

America will prevail not because her pocketbooks are big, but because the principles of her people are strong.

I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the year 1964 as United States Customs Year

So this morning it is with a great deal of pleasure that I present to you the first citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Chancellor, Mr. Erhard.

We stand before the world this morning one Nation, indivisible, under God.

If America reaches the moon in this decade and is the first to be there, it will be due more to Wernher von Braun's efforts than to any other living man.

Our meeting has been most successful, our experience has been quite stimulating, and we look ahead with optimism, hope, and belief that the time will come when all peoples in all lands can love thy neighbor as thyself.

This little community has entertained heads of states, Chancellors, Presidents, and camel drivers because we do not measure men by their power or their wealth here; we measure them by their love of freedom.

We work for peace as the American people have always worked.

The judgments we make here today will serve us well tomorrow.

It is with the greatest pleasure that we bid you welcome to the United States and to my home State of Texas--as a good friend, a great European, and as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The United States of America remains committed to the great peaceful purpose of freedom and self-determination for all Germans and for all men everywhere.

Gentlemen, I know that you will want to join me in telling Chancellor Erhard how much we appreciate his coming here to the United States at this time.
