It is never easy to part with a member of our official family or adequately to convey how much we will miss him.

This just carries out a commitment that we have made.

Mr. Secretary, we are ready to swear you in and welcome you to the Cabinet.

DONE at the City of Washington this eleventh day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-first.

America does not fail them.

The months ahead will not be easy ones.

You men make them believe.

Grave problems threaten us all.
