Lyndon Johnson

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

I take pleasure in submitting the first annual report of the Commission.

I do hereby designate Monday, October 11, 1965, as General Pulaski's Memorial 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.

I hope that you of the IPA will go out into the hinterland and rouse the masses and blow the bugles and tell them that the hour has arrived and their day is here.

I don't want to go back there until I have to, and I thought you would probably enjoy coming to the White House equally as much.

I think this is needed for the protection and promotion of peaceful trade, as well as for the welfare of the Hemisphere.

We must never allow ourselves to be cowed by conformity.

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

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

And in appreciation for what you have done, and with the personal thanks for the support that you have given to both President Kennedy and to me, it gives me a great deal of personal pleasure in awarding you, this morning, here among your…

America wins the wars that she undertakes.

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

At this time I want you to be absolutely certain that there is no waste or misapplication of America's manpower in the Department of Defense.

I'm not going to provoke any fight.

We don't ever get into any crisis that we can avoid.

I want him to be absolutely certain there is no waste or misapplication of American manpower in the Department of Defense effort.

This order supersedes Executive Order No. 10402 of October 30, 1952, entitled 'Enforcement of the Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1948,' to the extent that the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea signed at London on…

The Secretary of the Treasury (acting through the Coast Guard) shall establish all necessary regulations required to carry out in the most effective manner the provisions of the Convention.

Now, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code and as President of the United States of America, it is ordered as follows:

Each of the Secretaries and the Commission shall cooperate and assist the others in carrying out the duties imposed by the Convention and by this order.

Because the need for this action is plain; and it is so clear indeed that we marvel not simply at the passage of this bill, but what we marvel at is that it took so many years to pass it.

Now here is how the plan will affect you.

And no longer will young families see their own incomes, and their own hopes, eaten away simply because they are carrying out their deep moral obligations to their parents, and to their uncles, and their aunts.

No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine.
