"I am most grateful for being included with the father of our country on this silver medallion."

"I have submitted legislation to establish an Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President."

"It is no exaggeration to say that the future well-being of our Nation depends on putting our best minds to work now to solve the problems of tomorrow."

"I urge Congressional approval of the proposed budget increases in the National Science Foundation."
