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.

I, Lyndon B. Johnson,President of the United States of America, invite the people of the United States to observe February 1967 as American History Month with appropriate ceremonies and related activities in our educational, civic, fraternal, and patriotic organizations and in other suitable places.

In the United States, we have made more progress in human rights in the past 6 years than we have made in all of the previous 100 years.

On a white disk the shield of the Coat of Arms of the United States (paly of thirteen pieces argent and gules a chief azure) between the motto 'SEMPER PARATUS' in red; circumscribed by a white annulet edged and inscribed 'UNITED STATES COAST GUARD 1790' in blue all in front of two crossed anchors with stock, arms, and flukes in slight perspective in gold; superimposed upon a light blue disk with gold rope rim.

President Park and President Johnson reaffirmed the strong ties of friendship traditionally existing between the Republic of Korea and the United States and their determination to continue the closest cooperation and consultation to secure a lasting peace in Asia and the Pacific under which freedom, justice, and prosperity for all would prevail.

The ties that link the Malaysian and American peoples can only become stronger as we pursue our common goals:--as we build democracy and protect freedom;--as we resist aggression and subversion;--as we seek an end to world tensions; and--as we strive to eliminate ignorance and illiteracy, disease and poverty.

Let me assure you in this regard that Thailand can count on the United States to meet its obligations under the SEATO treaty.

The truth is that Thailand and the United States are going down the same road together.

We shall fight for freedom in Vietnam--knowing that as we do, we fight not just for freedom and liberty in Vietnam, but we fight for freedom and liberty in Australia, in New Zealand, in Hawaii, in the United States of America, and freedom and liberty wherever men cherish it.

Americans and Australians are finding that peaceful comradeship today.

I also invite the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies in honor of the memory of General Pulaski and his dedication to the defense of liberty.

Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Tuesday, October 11, 1966, as General Pulaski's Memorial Day; and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day.

The United States will continue to exert every effort to assure that these negotiations yield extensive reductions in restraints on trade in all classes of goods, including agricultural products.

I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1966, as Constitution Week; and I urge the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their schools and churches and in other suitable places to the end that our citizens may have a better understanding of the Constitution and of the rights and responsibilities of United States Citizenship.

In Vietnam the United States is committed to a decent and a limited purpose: to defeat aggression and to let the people of Vietnam decide in peace their own political future.

At any given moment over the past two centuries, observers of American life were convinced that the United States was about to come apart at the seams.

And once again we will not only have a peace-loving people that seek no territory, that seek no domination, but we will have a peaceful 50 States that are prosperous as they have never been before.

The United States has provided both birthplace and homeplace for the United Nations; the UN has enjoyed warm bipartisan support from five U.S. Presidents, from the Congress and from an overwhelming majority of the American people.
