I AM delighted to welcome you to the White House again on the occasion of your second national conference.

The successful conclusion of these negotiations is of the highest political importance.

So go out from these 7,000 pulpits of the land and say a new and better day is dawning, a stronger people is developing, a more secure society is on the horizon, and we are getting excited for that Promised Land.

But no matter how capable, no matter how dedicated, Federal law enforcement officers cannot win this fight alone.

The right to bail will no longer depend on the size of a man's wallet.

President Johnson reaffirmed the objective of the reunification of Germany as one of the most significant goals of American foreign policy.

There are other issues, I think, that we are going to write in the history of the sixties-like housing, urban progress, conservation, education, and health, and a dozen others.

Often you were the first to carry the Federal writ into lawless communities.

I want to thank you very much for your visit this morning.

This house is never happier than when it honors freedom and when it acknowledges leadership.

Nuclear arrangements consistent with this objective should be made within the Alliance to provide the non-nuclear Allies with an appropriate share in nuclear defense.

I want to assure you that the Federal Government will continue to strengthen the Nation's ability to resist crime.

You are one group which is successfully meeting the challenge of keeping pace.

We will use the laws we have, and we will seek new laws when they are necessary and useful.

I hope that your great voice of leadership, and your ministers in pulpits across the land, will urge all of your members to live up to their responsibilities as citizens of this country.

If a just appeal, which is fair and a just appeal which is right has an ugly sound, we may lose more than we gain.

So long as this situation continues, we are not meeting the Government's very first responsibility to its citizens: the right to be secure from criminal violence.

I am also pleased that, in my administration, legislation has finally been introduced to place U.S. Marshals under the civil service system.

The United States stands ready to respond to any proposals by our European allies in this area of advanced technology.

Now the cry for freedom is not new in our Nation.

Your training, combined with your spirit and dedication, is rapidly making the Marshals Service not only the oldest, but also one of the finest Federal law enforcement agencies in the United States.

I am dependent on you leaders to help.

I have welcomed you on many occasions, Mr. Chancellor, as a statesman of the modern world, but always most of all as our friend.

We stand with our allies in NATO, firmly dedicated to a common defense, because we believe in firmness and in unity lie the best hopes of peace in the world.

No one need doubt the American commitment to Europe's future.
