I intend to appoint the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Honorable Anthony J. Celebrezze, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

So, let none abroad--and let none here at home--ever doubt or ever question that America has the patience or the perseverance to do what the cause of mankind requires, and what our many commitments around the world necessitate.

But we are above all a patient Nation and a patient people, and we have the strength, and we have the stability and the success to permit us to be patient.

We are a nation dedicated and committed to ideals and values about the worth of man and about the preciousness of his liberty.

The voice of America is never one voice.

The vision of America is never one man's vision alone.

This is a very delightful affair for Arthur Goldberg and his family, and for me, and for our country, and for the cause of all mankind.

This is a very proud moment personally, but it is also a very proud moment for all Americans.

Ours is a dynamic land and a dynamic society.

It is my hope that the commission will work closely with the National Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, which I am establishing.

The assignment you and the other members of the commission have accepted is one of major importance.

I would welcome interim recommendations in any area as soon as the commission is prepared to make them.

Wide and varied membership in these groups will enable the commission to enlist particular skills and experience needed to reach sound conclusions.

It is my hope that the commission, through the prompt organization of task forces, will find it possible to consider and make recommendations on every issue which it believes relevant to the central problem.

All executive departments and agencies shall cooperate with the Commission and furnish it such information and assistance, not inconsistent with law, as it may require in the performance of its functions and duties.

I am pleased by your report that the Center is making significant contributions to the excellence in the public service for which we strive.

The new dimes and the new quarters will contain no silver.

We are going to keep our eyes on the stars and our feet on the ground.
