This bill will do for American businessmen what the great Agricultural Extension Service has done for the American farmer.

If we use this bill effectively in the future, we can prevent more Appalachias from ever occurring.

Our test will be how well we apply that knowledge for the betterment of all mankind.

This must and will be a local program, spearheaded by local initiative and local imagination.

The Federal Government does not want to run this program.

It will put into their hands the latest ideas and methods, the fruits of research and development.

I wish you Godspeed in your important task.

I hope you will soon be seeing and enjoying the results of the rehabilitation work that now gets underway on your home.

I want to add the congratulations of your President on this signal occasion.

In so doing, we can strengthen our Nation, for our strength rests in the participation of all our citizens and not just some of our citizens.

I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe the week beginning October 17, 1965, as National Forest Products Week, with activities and ceremonies designed…

No member of the board shall be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization of railroad employees or any carrier.

He has left a lonesome place against the sky.

This should be done in the most economic way possible.

So the enactment of this legislation, and so many other measures of this Congress, represents the unified determination of this generation to preserve the best of the past by preparing to make the future better still.

Unless we seize the opportunities available now, the fears some have of a nightmare society could materialize.

I believe that we should seek, wherever possible, to encourage the participation of the private capital market in those Federal programs whose primary objective is the extension of credit.

This is a very rare and a very proud occasion.
