The Red Cross has never failed us. We cannot fail it now.

To meet this need I am transmitting, for the consideration of the Congress, the attached bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to establish a National Visitor Center in the District of Columbia.

At this very minute, somewhere in America, our Red Cross is helping with a personal tragedy--easing a community crisis--tackling and solving the problems and emergencies of life.

To help open the doors of opportunity to every American woman, I am today announcing the establishment of a new group on careers for Women.

The bill does not foreclose any specific course of action, but will make it possible to move ahead toward accomplishing our basic objective.

I want to congratulate each of you and all of you, particularly you six women who are the forerunners of what I think is a new era.

This is particularly a Federal concern.

I hope that the Congress will give early and favorable consideration to this legislation.

We should all remember the nurses, doctors, and countless volunteers who stand watch around the clock in hospitals, tents, shelters--wherever there is human need or suffering--here and in Vietnam this very minute.

We owe it the goodness of our hearts and the labors of our hands.

The time has come for the American woman to take her rightful place in American society.

I would not believe that the Washington Post and the New York Herald Tribune would be in the business of either predicting or nominating my Secretary of State.

I am not familiar with what General Walt said.

We want to defeat aggression.

Now there will be individual situations.

No. I have no announcements to make now.

I think I could still carry out our commitments there.

We want to defeat social misery.
