The District Of Columbia Is One Gigantic

Today, We're Taking A Break From The Concerns And The Bustle Of The Work-a-day World. But We're Also Making A New Beginning. As We Gather Around Our Dining Room Tables For The Midday Meal, Let Us Thank God For Life And The Blessings He's Put Before Us. High Among Them Are Our Families, Our Freedom, And The Opportunities Of A New Year.

I'm Proud Of Having Been One Of The First To Recognize That States And The Federal Government Have A Duty To Protect Our Natural Resources From The Damaging Effects Of Pollution That Can Accompany Industrial Development.

. . . And Always Remember That You Are Americans, And It Is Your Birthright To Dream Great Dreams In This Sweet And Blessed Land, Truly The Greatest, Freest, Strongest Nation On Earth.

The Family Has Always Been The Cornerstone Of American Society. Our Families Nurture, Preserve, And Pass On To Each Succeeding Generation The Values We Share And Cherish, Values That Are The Foundation Of Our Freedoms.

Don't Let Anyone Tell You That America's Best Days Are Behind Her - That The American Spirit Has Been Vanquished. We've Seen It Triumph Too Often In Our Lives To Stop Believing In It Now.
