I .1 I l Text of Johnson's Message To Joint Session WASHINGTON (UPI) - The text of President Johnson's ad dress before a joint session of Congress. Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, members of the House and Sen ate, my fellow Americans: All I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today. The greatest leader of our time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time. Today John Fitzgerald Kennedy lives on in the immortal words and works he left behind. He lives on in the mind and memo ries of mankind. He lives on in the hearts of his countrymen. No words are sad enough to express our sense of loss. No words are strong enough to ex press our determination to con tinue the forward thrust of America that he began. The dream of conquering the vastness of soace the dream of partnership across the Atlan ticand across the Pacific as well the dream of a Peace Corps in less developed lands the dream of education for our youth the dream of jobs for all who seek them the dream of care for our elderly the dream of an all-out attack on mental illness and above all, the dream of equal rights for all Americans, whatever race or color these and other American dreams have been vi talized by his drive and dedi cation. Will Be Translated Now the ideas and ideals which he so nobly represented must and will be translated into effective action. Under John Kennedy's leader ship, this nation has demon strated that it has the courage to seek peace, and the fortitude to risk war. We have proved that we are a good and reliable friend to those who seek peace and freedom. We have shown that we can also be a formida ble foe to those who reject the path of peace and who seek to Impose upon us or our allies the yoke of tyranny. This nation will keep its com mitments from South Viet Nam to West Berlin. We will be un ceasing in the search for peace; resourceful In our pursuit of areas of agreement even with those with whom we differ; and generous and loyal to those who join with us in common cause. In this age where there can be no losers in peace and no victors in war we must recog nize the obligation to match na tional strength with national restraint we must be prepared at one and the same time for both the confrontation of power and the limitation of power we must be ready to defend the national interest and to nego tiate the common Interest. This is the path that we shall coiv tinue to pursue. Those who test our courage will find it strong and those who seeK our friend ship will find it honorable. We will demonstrate anew that the strong can be just in the use of strength and the just can be strong in the defense of justice. We will carry on the fight against poverty and misery, ig norance and disease in other lands and in our own. Will Serve All We will serve all of the na tion, not one section or one sec tor, or one group, but all Americans. These are the Unit ed States a united people with unity of purpose. Our American unity docs not depend upon unanimity. We have differences; but now, as in the past, we can derive from those differences strength, not weakness; wisdom, not despair. Both as a people and as a gov ernment we can unite upon a program which is wise, just and constructive. For 32 years, Capitol Hill has been my home. I have shared many moments of pride with you pride in the abilily of the Congress of the United States to act; to meet any crisis; to distill from our differences strong programs of national ac tion. An assassin's bullet has thrust upon me the awesome burden of the presidency. I am here today to say that I need your help; I cannot bear this burden alone. I need the help ot all Americans. J his nation has experienced a profound shock and In this critical mo ment it is our duly yours and mine as the government of the United States to do away with uncertainty and to show that we are capable of decisive action that from the brutal loss of our leader we will derive not weak ness but strength that we can and will act and act now. Support of Unltrd Nations From the chamber of repre sentative government let all the world know, and none misun derstand, that I rcdedicate this government to the unswerving support of the United Nations to the honorable and deter mined execution of our commit ments to our allies to the maintenance of military strength second to none lo the defense of the strength and sta bility of the dollar to the ex pansion of our foreign trade to the rc-enforcement of our programs of mutual assistance ' and cooperation in Asia and Af rica and to our Alliance for Progress in this hemisphere. On the 20th of January, In 1061, John F. Kennedy told his countrymen that our national work would not be finished "in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this administra tion, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But he said let us begin." Today in this moment of new resolve, I would say to my fel low Americans, let us continue. This is our challenge not to hesitate, not to pause, not to turn about and linger over this iMti BILL DISCUSSED Rep.

There could be no greater source of strength to this nation both at home and abroad. And second, no act of ours could more fittingly continue the work of President Kennedy than the earliest passage of the tax bill for which he fought a bill designed to increase our na tional income, our federal rev enues, and our insurance against recession. That bill, if passed without delay, means more security for those now working and more jobs for those now without them. No Time for Delay In short, this is no time for delay. It is a time for action strong, forward-looking action on the pending education bills to help bring the light of learn ing to every home and hamlet in America strong, forward looking action on youth em ployment opportunities, strong forward-looking action on the pending foreign aid bill, making clear that we are not forfeiting our responsibilities to this hemi sphere or to the world, nor erasing executive flexibility in the conduct of foreign affairs and strong, forward-looking ac tion on the remaining appropri ation bills.
