We are so happy to be here in sunny San Antonio today to spend this preeminent national holiday.
On several occasions I have pledged the full participation of the United States in the development of a World Weather Watch in cooperation with other nations of the world.
I know something of the graciousness that the people of this city always show to all of those who come here to visit with them.
Thirty-four years ago, I came here as the sun was setting late one evening and I was married to a lovely lady in this city in St. Mark's Church, in downtown San Antonio.
