During that week I urge all the Governors of States, mayors of cities, and other public officials, as well as leaders of industry, educational and religious groups, labor, civic, veterans', agricultural, women's, scientific, professional…

The separation was to be seen in the distance between them-just over a mile.

It requires national action.

That dream included a city that was to be different from all others, even as the Nation itself was to be.

This is a matter of national concern, of national interest.

The vision itself is subject to change.

Working together, on both public and private levels, we can—and must—insure full lives for them.

IN 1976, we will mark the Bicentennial of the founding of the American Republic.

It will be an occasion of intensive exploration of the American past and future.

Could you bring it to the White House one day?

And so tonight, we honor the leaders of American labor.
