I came out here because of a special kind of sickness, one that afflicts the aged and the young--homesickness.

I hope that your homes are warm and nice, and the kids are in good health and everything is going fine with all of you--with all of SHAPE.

This home was built by a great number of nations to be the headquarters of that military shield that must always belong to NATO.

There lies before the free nations a clear possibility of peaceful triumph.

It takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice by a lot of people to bring about the inevitable.

The peace we seek is an expanding state of justice and understanding.

NATO has proved itself as an agency of peace.

Freedom has not failed us! Surely, we shall not fail freedom!

I deeply regret that the time is rapidly approaching when you will leave Government service.

Thanks in large measure to your effective leadership and successful management of very complex responsibilities, the strength of our security forces has not only been maintained but has been significantly increased.

I do call upon the people of our Nation to observe the week beginning October 6, 1957, as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.

I urge our citizens to remember, throughout the year, that by their interest and efforts many handicapped persons can be assisted to economic Independence and active participation in our productive way of life.

We are not considering legislative controls on the processes in our economy.

I want to say a word again about this thing of mutual security.
