We are doing everything we can to reach an agreement on such a treaty.

We simply cannot allow the school children of this country to find their education frustrating, unrelated to life, or inadequate to their needs in our increasingly complex world.

We have not waited for the fighting to end before we have the beginnings of the works of peace.

I am grateful to you for your efforts to implement this program inasmuch as these laboratories were a key element of the Administration's education proposals to the Congress last year.

It is very clear to me this morning... that the administrative budget deficit for this year will be very substantially below the $5.3 billion originally estimated.

It is important, in this regard, that we continue to seek the advice of experts, both within and outside the Government, on the goals, priorities and accomplishments of these enterprises.

I hope you will continue to press forward with the development of these laboratories to assist in improving our school systems.

This action at this time was required by the events of the time.

We have much to be thankful for, generally speaking, much to be encouraged about.

As Commander in Chief, you have reason to be proud of the magnificent professional leadership which our men in Vietnam are receiving from General William C. Westmoreland.

We are interested in American democratic power, with a small 'd'.

I consider this 'other war' as crucial to the future of South Vietnam and Southeast Asia as the military struggle.

I congratulate you and those who helped you develop the concept of these laboratories and request that you give continuing attention to their effective development.

This process will be speeded by establishment of extensive experimental schools and pilot projects showing educational innovation in real situations that can be seen and understood by administrators, teachers, and school boards.

They ought to be conceived as comparable in their way to the large-scale laboratories of the Defense or Atomic Energy establishments.
