Eisenhower
The Public Record
Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States, serving from 1953 to 1961. A member of the Republican Party, he was born in Kansas and rose to prominence as a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II. Eisenhower served as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe, overseeing the successful D-Day invasion and the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
And so I dedicate this building to the conquest of disease so that mankind, more safe and secure in body, may more surely advance to a widely shared prosperity and an enduring and just peace.
We are here today to dedicate a great building of stone and concrete and other materials.
A good workman deserves good surroundings, and a good place in which to work, and so if we had nothing more here to dedicate than the building itself, it would still be an occasion worthy of note.
Accordingly, I do not advise the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress with respect to those subjects.
I am in full agreement with the Board's view that a merger between Alaska Airlines and Pacific Northern would be an important step forward in strengthening air transportation between the States and Alaska
This order shall be effective in any case in which the loss involved occurs, or has occurred, on or after June 4, 1954.
In view of the great importance of air transportation with up-to-date equipment to the people of Alaska and the future development of the Territory, the certificates of Alaska Airlines and Pacific Northern should be extended for five years
I am in general agreement with the major aspects of the Board's proposed action in this case
I do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, Monday, the thirtieth of May, 1955, as a day of Nation-wide prayer for permanent peace.
Memorial Day each year serves as a solemn reminder of the scourge of war and its bitter aftermath of sorrow.
Never was it so important as it is today that the American public is informed.
