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

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

in America strong, forward
looking action on youth em

forward-looking action on the
