The transfer of skills to the people of the developing world is vitally important to their future.

Achievements in which our assistance played a pivotal role during fiscal year 1969 included: growth of the Korean economy at a rate of 13 percent; self-sufficiency in rice production for the Philippines; control of inflation in Indonesia.

We seek a stable and peaceful world in which all nations can cooperate effectively to improve the quality of human life.

I propose that the Congress create a National Institute of Education as a focus for educational research and experimentation in the United States.

The public interest comes first.

I am taking similar action to protect the public interest today.

France is our oldest ally and our oldest friend.

Vive la France; vive le President Pompidou.

Let's raise our glasses to the President of France.
