In August, the American nations drafted the Charter of Punta del Este--the framework for the decade of development--a document whose scope and significance is matched only by the Charter of the OAS itself.

So gentlemen, on behalf of the trustees, on behalf of the people of this country, I want to present this trophy to you, and to tell you that your achievements give us the greatest possible satisfaction and a sense of pride in knowing that…

I think, as you pointed out, flights of over four thousand miles an hour, at two hundred and fifteen or twenty thousand feet, all this I think is an extraordinary achievement.

I want to express my great pleasure at having an opportunity, as President, to participate in this ceremony which presents this very famous and celebrated award, which is held by some of our most distinguished aviators, to these three…

We were permitted today to come out to the Agency to present this award to him in your presence.

Our new policy will in effect provide for the eventual demonetization of silver except for its use in subsidiary coinage.

I WOULD LIKE to express my satisfaction at participating in this ceremony.

I certainly strongly endorse this initial effort.

I have reached the decision that silver metal should gradually be withdrawn from our monetary reserves.

I'm hopeful that the judgment of the trustees and the suggestion of the trustees--that others will participate in strengthening this school--that that judgment and advice will be followed.

Your successes are unheralded--your failures are trumpeted.

As I've said, as long as any of them are hungry tomorrow, I'm sure that Americans will not sit down at their table without hoping that we can do more to aid those who sit at no table.

But it is heartening to know that we are now joined in a worldwide alliance, the Freedom From Hunger Campaign, to eliminate hunger from the earth.

I think an alliance is an extremely difficult system to operate.

Fear is the oldest weapon in history.

Now Fort Chaffee is open, and we're going to keep it open.

Now the citizens of Oklahoma stay in Oklahoma.

We want to build for ourselves and for them.

I am proud to come to Fort Smith.

We believe in a strong country.

Terror is not a new weapon.

My sincere congratulations.

So that we wish him every success.

This program has been most important in bettering the relations of the United States with other parts of the world.

No one can fail to appreciate the gravity of this threat.
