That's the direction we want to go, and that's what is going to win November 2.

I hope on a week from Tuesday, I can get a vote or two.

Every eligible voter will be sending a message to Washington and to the world.

I want your first vote to be remembered as one of your best votes.

What I am saying to you here now is: The vital importance is to get out the vote, to get it out up and down the line.

And, even more important, they voted.

Since the Honolulu conference, more than 80 percent of the registered voters of South Vietnam have elected an assembly to draft a constitution.

I hope you people will remember that on election day by returning every member of the Democratic delegation from the great State of New York.

I want to thank all of you for being so good to us back in 1964 when the great State of New York gave us a landslide majority of more than two million votes.

On November 3d you are going to select the man whose thumb will have to touch that button if it is ever touched.

In particular, I urge that our first voters go to the polls proudly, knowing that the duty they perform is the price of the privilege they hold.

I urge local election officials, private citizens, and citizen organizations to make a special effort during that week to assist in every possible way the millions of persons who are about to cast their first vote in a Presidential election.

Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period October 25 through October 31, 1964, as National First Voters Week.

Make their choice carefully, understanding its importance to themselves and their fellow Americans.

Come November 3d, you are going to have a chance to help us unite.

You have an obligation to yourself and your children to select the person that you know is the most experienced, and the most capable of handling the future of your country and its citizens

And on November 3d I think that you are going to choose an administration that you believe is responsible.

I think that every person in this country ought to support the candidate of his choice, and the candidate that he feels will best serve.
