I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the aforesaid Act of Congress, do hereby proclaim and make known that the annual immigration quota of the quota area hereinafter designated has been determined in accordance with the law to be, and shall be, as follows:

A determination that service with the United Nations in a particular geographic area or for a particular purpose constitutes a justifiable basis for authorizing acceptance of the United Nations Medal and Service Ribbon by eligible members of the armed forces of the United States shall be made with the concurrence of the Secretary of State.

No change, except by agreement, shall be made by the carriers represented by the Eastern, Western and Southeastern Carriers' Conference Committees, or by their employees, in the conditions out of which the disputes arose.

And I think in the weeks and months ahead, you will see the fruits that flow from that very fine visit.

We have just concluded a most interesting and most profitable conference between the Chancellor of Germany and the President of the United States.

I would like to send my greetings for the New Year to the good people of Berlin.

Berlin continues to stand as a citadel of freedom.

I wish to congratulate you particularly on your work for the unity of all your people, including the Hoa Hao and Cao Dai, against the Viet Cong.

As the forces of your government become increasingly capable of dealing with this aggression, American military personnel in South Vietnam can be progressively withdrawn.

We have declared unconditional war on poverty. Our objective is total victory.

I am pleased to learn from Secretary McNamara about the vigorous operations which you are planning to bring security and an improved standard of living to your people.
