The vigorous program contemplated will depend not only on adequate legislative authority but also on adequate financial support.

I have reached this conclusion because space exploration holds promise of adding importantly to our knowledge of the earth, the solar system, and the universe.

I believe that these workers and their families should be enabled temporarily to receive weekly benefits for a longer period than is now in effect so that in the current economic situation they and their families can obtain a greater…

The legislation should provide, however, for the payment, to individuals who have exhausted their regular unemployment compensation benefits, of temporary benefits for an additional period equal to one-half of the duration of their regular…

We must not allow concentration on our military might to divert us from other essential objectives of our national security program.

We prayerfully hope that this sentiment will ultimately persuade the Soviet Government to participate in a plan of genuine disarmament.

Farm production per man-hour has doubled since 1940.

This must now be done.

Today he feeds himself and 20 others.

The scientific revolution in agriculture is irreversible and is continuing.

Changes of such magnitude place great stress on our farm people and on the social, political and economic institutions which serve them.

Prices received by farmers on the average are running 3 per cent above those of a year ago.
