Quota Area Quota Tonga, Kingdom of --- 100

Far too many people today suffer needlessly, or go without the attention they require, simply because we do not have enough well-trained nurses.

Proclamation No. 3298 of June 3, 1959, as amended, entitled 'Immigration Quotas,' is further amended by the addition of the quota for the Kingdom of Tonga.

So the Nurse Training Act of 1964 is recognition of the new needs of the profession, as well as the growing needs of all of our people.

By the year 1970 we will need 850,000 nurses.

Our hopes for the handicapped can be realized if the employers of this Nation will but consider all job applicants, regardless of handicaps, solely on the basis of their qualifications to do the job.

I believe the significance of this occasion goes far beyond these bills alone.

This is a very happy and historic occasion for all who love the great American outdoors, and that, needless to say, includes me.

No single Congress in my memory has done so much to keep America as a good and wholesome and beautiful place to live.

It has been an administration worthy in every way of the grand tradition of justice on which American liberty rests.

My regret at your leaving is tempered by satisfaction in the knowledge that you intend to continue your service to your country.

It is with regret that I have received your resignation.

The land and water conservation bill assures our growing population that we will begin, as of this day, to acquire on a pay-as-you-go basis the outdoor recreation lands that tomorrow's Americans will require.

So it is with a great deal of pride and pleasure and hope for the future that we enact into law today by signing these bills some of the most far-reaching conservation measures that a farsighted nation has ever coped with.

The wilderness bill preserves for our posterity, for all time to come, 9 million acres of this vast continent in their original and unchanging beauty and wonder.

Many important expeditions have been completed and lives saved in time of danger because of timely assistance from other national stations.

We reject the thought of our families living in a faceless, regimented, monotonous America.

This Congress deserves, I believe, very special commendation for the foresight and the courage that it has shown in meeting our problems here at home and in our own country, with our own people.
