I call upon government officials at all levels to observe this week with appropriate activities.

If we are strong enough, peace, democracy and our American way of life should be the rewards.

Active interest by all Americans is the only force that can translate environmental policy into environmental progress.

I urge each American to devote one day during this week to a significant activity which improves our environment.

Adjustment assistance will benefit the many smaller enterprises which have been seriously injured.

My decision does not provide import relief to that industry.

The U.S. footwear industry is benefiting from a substantial increase in production, shipments, and employment as a result of the economic recovery.

I have concluded that such restraints would be contrary to the U.S. policy of promoting the development of an open, nondiscriminatory, and fair world economic system.

I have determined that provision of import relief is not in the national economic interest of the United States.

Import restraints would have lessened competition in the shoe industry and resulted in higher shoe prices for American consumers at a time when lowering the rate of inflation is essential.

Adjustment assistance is the most effective remedy for the injury to the U.S. footwear industry and its employees.

U.S. employment in the industry, which has also been steadily declining over recent years, also shows signs of picking up.

His life in public office as a lawyer, as dean of Howard University Law School, and as the first black Federal Judge have left an indelible imprint on the Nation.

This program will offer every American the opportunity to be inoculated against a swine-type influenza virus.

The provisions for preventive health activities and summer youth employment programs are identical to my request.

I urge the Governors of our States and other appropriate officials, organizations concerned with transportation, and the people of the United States to join with the Department of Transportation in observing this week.

I am fully confident, Sam, that you will provide that leadership.

I urge every American to receive an inoculation against this form of influenza.

This program is designed to protect Americans against a swine-type strain of virus which was responsible for thousands of deaths in the United States during 1918-19.

The economic prosperity of the United States and the maintenance of our national defense depend in large measure on our ability to move goods and people.

I do hereby designate Friday, May 21, 1976, as National Defense Transportation Day.

I am gratified that the Congress could act promptly prior to its Easter recess on a matter of great importance to every citizen.

I AM gratified by the rapid response on this crucial measure by the Congress prior to their Easter recess.

His experience at those levels makes him especially valuable to all of us.
