I am glad to announce at this time that we are establishing a new division in the United States Office of Education to administer the teaching and research program under the act.
I know that I speak for all Americans in asking you to extend our sympathy to the families and friends of those men who lost their lives in this tragic accident.
I hope private industry and labor will also realize that those who are handicapped frequently are more than compensated by their desire to be useful and to play a gainful role.
It gives them a greater security, a greater participation in the wellbeing of this country.
