Our medicine has conquered ancient diseases.

Let us make ourselves worthy of that generosity by pledging to Him our everlasting devotion.

I call upon the citizens throughout the nation to participate in observance of that month.

We must be farsighted and bold in managing and using our water.

Today's failure is a dramatic reminder of the importance of the uninterrupted flow of power to the health, safety, and well being of our citizens and the defense of our country.

YOU'RE so much in our thoughts that an expression like this is hardly necessary.

This failure should be immediately and carefully investigated in order to prevent a recurrence.

And I think it was then that I made up my mind that this Nation could never rest while the door to knowledge remained closed to any American.

But now, at last, in this year of our Lord, 1965, we have quit talking and started acting.

I consider the Higher Education Act—with its companion, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which we signed back in the spring of this year—to be the keystones of the great, fabulous 89th Congress.

Today, then, we embark on a new adventure in learning.

The President's signature upon this legislation passed by this Congress will swing open a new door for the young people of America.

And in my judgment, this Nation can never make a wiser or a more profitable investment anywhere.

Education in this day and age is a necessity.

The rest is up to you.

the path of knowledge is open to all that have the determination to walk it.
