I think it will be more difficult for any new legislation we might propose.

I would expect that we will have our recommendations favorably acted upon in most instances, where they are deserving.

So while we were disappointed to see some of our friends lose, I can't think a President should be too unhappy after he has had the results that we have had in 1963, 1964, 1965, and 1966.

Everything I want to work for, as your President, to achieve peace, to conquer poverty, to build a worthy civilization--all of these depend in a very large degree on what happens in this school and what happens in other schools throughout…

If your education falters or fails, everything else that we attempt as a Nation will fail.

Secretary Gardner flew down to visit me yesterday afternoon and we spent some time reviewing various plans and proposals in the area of health, education, and welfare.

On October 15, I signed the Department of Transportation bill, which established that Department.

That is about as far as we can see ahead now.

Secretary McNamara talked to you about the reconstruction work that we are doing in the pacification field.

I will ask Mr. Komer to come down late Sunday or Monday to go over that entire proposal and we will try to have that costed out for the next few months.

Mr. McNamara's proposals this morning indicated a lower draft call, lower ammunition production, lower assignments overseas for next year.

Our revenue estimates now indicate that we will take in this year an increase of about $5 billion, $6 billion, or $7 billion over what we planned in the budget.

I don't know what proposals His Holiness might make.

I do not want to get into a debate on a foreign policy meeting in Manila with a chronic campaigner like Mr. Nixon.

I know of no evidence that would in any way cause any reasonable person to have a doubt about the Warren Commission.
