And our system of transportation, the greatest in history, was built by the genius of free enterprise.

The United States is the only nation which maintains a system of transport that is both privately-owned and privately-operated.

We must continue to hope and try.

That system has met every challenge, in war as in peace.

By wisdom a house is built, By understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

I am proclaiming the week of May 15th as the National Transportation Week.

I urge our people to participate with representatives of the transportation industry, our armed services, and other governmental agencies, in the observance of these occasions through appropriate ceremonies.
