I call upon the Congress now to complete its work of hope for millions of Americans who now look to it for action.
Today the Nation's Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968. This is a victory for every American.
In the coming months, I am going to do everything within my power to try to bring that about and to make that possible.
I have named General Abrams to succeed General Westmoreland.
