The American people are very proud of their 1964 Olympic team.

In this week especially, let us give thanks for that love of liberty which made human justice and human dignity the foundation stones of our Republic.

The important thing in the Olympic games is taking part.

America is fulfillment, fulfillment in the richest and the most zestful sense of that word.

Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson,President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 10, 1964, as Human Rights Day and December 15, 1964, as Bill of Rights Day and call upon the people of the United States to observe…

In all the long and exciting tradition of these international games, I doubt if there has ever been a finer representation of the essential Olympic spirit.

I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, November 30, 1964 Sir Winston Churchill Day.

I KNOW I speak for all Americans, your fellow citizens, in extending warmest congratulations and affectionate best wishes on your 90th birthday.

The United States sees no safe future for ourselves and none for any other Atlantic nation in a policy of narrow national self-interest.

The safety of the United States depends upon the freedom of Europe, and the freedom of Europe depends upon the strength and the will of the United States.

We went in solely for humanitarian reasons.

There are no problems which we cannot solve together, and there are very few which any of us can settle by himself.

The United States has no political goals to impose upon the Congo.

We are very anxious that each person receive the protections of the law in this country and be adequately protected in their constitutional rights.

Many of you will not be with your families today.

But all of us here at home remember you with gratitude.

Those same blessings depend upon you today.

Today all Americans thank the blessings of the Lord for the bounty of their land.
