It is very hard to believe any announcement of political intentions these days.
Now it becomes the people's direct responsibility.
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.
