I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1963, as Constitution Week; and I urge the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their schools and churches and in other suitable places to the end that our citizens may have a better understanding of the Constitution and of the rights and responsibilities of United States citizenship.

More from John Fitzgerald Kennedy
It symbolizes, I believe, this highway, first of all, the partnership between the Federal Government and the States, which is essential to the progress of all of our people.
It is a pleasure for me to join the citizens of Delaware and Maryland in opening this new highway.
The concurrence of the Board of Commissioners in those recommendations should assure that the entire District Highway Program can now move forward.
It is a great pleasure for Mrs. Kennedy and myself to welcome the Black Watch to the White House.
