There has never been a time in my judgment in the Federal Government when better equipped and better trained, more dedicated and more experienced and merited personnel, diligently and with dedication, try to serve the best interests of…

We simply cannot allow that to happen.

Mr. President, I want to welcome you to Washington this morning on behalf of the United States Government and of the American people.

Will man be the master or the servant of his inventions?

I believe deeply in your effort to learn more about your Government.

In your future, jobs requiring little imagination can easily be performed by machines.

Before long, you will be able to span this continent--or the Atlantic Ocean--in 2 hours or less.

So be sure that by your visit to Washington, by your concern for your Nation's future, you are making a good start toward spreading that light.

We simply can't afford any longer the luxury of indifference.

Rural electrification wasn't an isolated event in our history.

What good is it to know more about the world, unless we really understand more?

A while ago I received a report from the National Commission on Technology and the Economy--a study which lays down some very stern challenges for the next 10 years.

I hope that you will return your gifts of education and wealth and freedom--return them in service, for never was your help more desperately needed in this world.

I am delighted, with Mrs. Johnson, to greet and welcome you to the White House today.

In your lifetime, space will become more crowded and less quiet.

Ever since the day I became President, I have asked labor and management to work together with me to improve the lives of every American.

You will find that there is no security on this earth, except the security of opportunity.

I do not believe that either labor or management wants this.
