If there is one area of Government that should serve as a model for the best use of manpower, it is the Manpower Administration.

The three of you and the great team which enabled you to complete your successful mission have shown the world that the spirit of man and his technological genius are eager to begin an age of adventure, an age which will benefit all the…

They have added to the honor of the Nation by what they have done.

Because they have made us proud of being Americans and also reminded us that we should be proud of our younger generation, the youth of America, I am honored to be here with them.

We really cannot honor these men, but they have honored America.

That concludes the ceremony.

But in the magnificent records of these three young men, they have demonstrated to us that we can be very proud of our younger generation.
