So thank you for coming here to the White House.

The bill passed by the Senate will redeem our long neglect.

This is a rather remarkable and rather splendid achievement.

Big government is not the end that we seek.

When this measure is signed, it will be one of the most historic enactments of any Congress in this century.

I am not disturbed by what some describe as the restlessness among young Americans today, because I share that feeling with you.

We know more than man has ever known before.

We are extremely proud of you for that.

This is no less than a national disgrace.

If you want to change what you have seen this summer, and if you want to improve upon it, and if you believe this Government can and should do a better job for all the people, then I am proud of you.

For much too long we have imposed on many hundreds of thousands of citizens who live in the District a badge of inferiority--the stigma of unworthiness to guide their own affairs.

If you feel like protesting, I hope you will.

I feel confident that Members of the House, given the opportunity, will join with Members of the Senate to afford their fellow-citizens the flail blessings of democracy and liberty.

For much too long we have denied at our nation's capital the principles of representative government for which we stand throughout the world.

Yes, this is a new day in America.

It does not have to be loose in order to be liberal.

And we think, as Emerson once put it, 'that our civilization is near its meridian, but we are yet only at the cock crowing and the morning star.'

I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day

I also urge appropriate State and local officials, as well as public and private organizations, to join in the observance of this milestone in the history of the Coast Guard.

In 20 months we have agreed to 15 different approaches to try to bring peace, and each one of them has been turned down by the other side.

I am very indebted to you for this attractive silver bowl and I shall remember this occasion with a great deal of pleasure.

You have earned this medal, and you have earned with it the respect and the gratitude of the entire Nation.

It is needed in the true interests of the United States and in fairness and justice to all.

America wins the wars that she undertakes.

We must never allow ourselves to be cowed by conformity.
