The Medals of Freedom you are about to receive are the highest civilian honor that our country can bestow.
I strongly recommend that the Congress consider issuance of a joint resolution to bring this Agreement into force by that date.
Let me voice our country's deep gratitude and great appreciation, not only to you but to all those who helped you achieve what you accomplished.
I take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the voluntary agencies, the public and private institutions and the many individual families that have contributed so generously to this program.
