The continued growth of highway travel reflects the continued population growth in our country and the desire of our citizens for greater mobility.
I urge Federal, State, and local government officials, as well as highway industry organizations, and other organizations having a public-spirited interest in our national highways, to hold appropriate ceremonies during that week in…

I hereby transmit the second annual report of the Atlantic-Pacific Interoceanic Canal Study Commission.

I think we have particular reason for satisfaction that all but 50,000 of the 1,048,554 jobs were provided by the private sector.

We are determined that the economic and social conditions which threaten the futures of our young people shall be overcome.
