It is such a privilege to have you here in the first house of the land.

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.

Let us be worthy of the trust placed in our generation for the integrity of the individual and the full and faithful protection of his inalienable rights.

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.

Never sit by a man, if there is a lady in the room.

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

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

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

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

We went in solely for humanitarian reasons.

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

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.

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

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

For that we give thanks and pray that we may continue to deserve His blessings.

Our twin blessings of peace and abundance have always rested on those who were willing to risk, whatever the danger, and to sacrifice, whatever the cost, for the freedom of America.

Many of you will not be with your families today.
