jC THE MIAMI NKVt'S, vVrWrlv. Nov. 27. 1063 7 A Full Text Of President Johnson's Congress peech Before FKKA mitments Irnm South Viet Nam lo West Berlin. We will be unceasing in the search for peace; resourceful in our pursuit in 'Those Who Test Our Courage Will Find It Strong' we are not forfeiting our responsibilities to this hemisphere or to the world, nor erasing executive flexibility in the conduct of foreign affairs and strong, forward looking action on the remaining appropriation hills.

In this new spirit nf action the Congress can expect the full cooperation and support of the executive branch. And in particular I pledge that the expenditures of the government will be administered with the utmost thrift and frugality. I will insist that the government get a dollar's value for a dollar spent. The government will set an example of prudence and economy. This docs not mean we will not mccl our unfilled needs or that we will not honor our commitments.

We will do both. As one who has long served in both houses of the Congress, I firmly believe in the independence and integrity of the legislative branch. 1 promise you that shall always respect this. It is deep in the marrow of my bones. With equal firmness.

I believe in Ihe capacity and the ability nf the Congress, despite Ihe divisions nf opinion which characterize our nation, to act lo act' wisely, vigorously and speedily when the need arises. The need is here. The need ts nnw. I ask your help. I know we meet in grief; but let us also meet in renewed dedication and renewed vigor.

Let us meet in action, in tolerance and mutual understanding. John Kennedy's death commands what his life conveyed that America must move forward. The time has come for Americans of all races and all creeds and political beliefs to understand and respect one another. Let us put an end to the teaching and preaching of hate and evil and violence. Let us turn away from the fanatics of the far left and the far right, from the apostles of bitterness and bigotry, from those defiant of law, and those who pour venom into our nation's bloodstream.

I profoundly hope that the tragedy and torment of these terrible days will bind us together in new fellowship, making us one people in our sorrow. Let us here highly resolve that John Fitzgerald Kennedy did not live or die in vain. And on this Thanksgiving eve, as we gather together to ask the Lord's blessing, let us unite in those familiar and cherished words: "America, America, God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good With brotherhood From sea to shining sea." WASHINGTON (AP) The text ot President Johnson's speech today to a joint session of Congress: Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, members of the House and Senate, my fellow All I have I would have given gladly nnt to be standing here today.

The greatest leader of our lime has hern struck down by Ihe foulest deed of our I. me. Today Fitzgerald Kennedy lives on in the immortal words and works he left behind. He Jives on in the mind and memories of mankind. He lives on in the hearts of his countrymen.

No words are sad enough lo express our sense of loss. No words are strong enough to express our determination to continue the forward thrust of America thai he began. The dream of conquering the vastness of space, the dream of partnership across Ihe Atlantic and across Ihe Pacific as well, Ihe dream of a Peace Corps in less developed lands, Ihe dream of education for our youth, Ihe dream of jobs for all who srek I hem. Ihe dream of care for our elderly, the dream of an all-onl attack on menial illness, and above all, the dream of equal rights for all Americans, whatever their race or color these and other American dreams burden of the presidency. I am here today lo say that I need your help, I cannot bear (hi burden alone.

I need the help of all Americans. This nation has experienced a profound shock and in this critical moment it is our duty, yours and mine, as the government of Ihe United Stales, to do away wilh uncertainty and to show that we are capable of decisive action; that from Ihe brutal loss of our leader we will derive not. weakness but slrength, thai wc can and will act and ad now. areas of agreement even with those with whom we differ; and generous and loyal to those who join wilh us in common cause. In this age where there can be no losers in peace and no victors in war we must recognize the obligation to match national slrength with national restraint we must be prepared at one and Ihe same time for both the confrontation of power and the limitation of power wc must he ready to defend Ihe national interest and to negotiale llie common interest.

This is the palh that shall continue lo pursue. Those who test our rourage will find it strong and those who seek our friendship will find il honorable. We will demonstrate anew thai the slrong can he just in the use of strength and the just can he strong in the defense nf justice. We will carry on the fight against povcrly and misery, ignorance and disease in other lands and in our own. Wc will serve all of the nation, nol one section or one sector, or one group, but all Americans.

These are the United Stales a united people wilh unity of purpose. Our American unity does not depend upon unanimity. We have differences; but now, as in the pasl, we can derive from those differences strength, not weakness; wisdom, nnt despair. Roth as a people and as a government can unite upon a program which is wise, just and constructive. I urn about and linger over this evil moment but to continue on our course so that we may fulfill the destiny history has set for us.

Our most immediate tasks are here on this Hill. First, no memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought. We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. We have talked for 100 years or more. Yes, it Is time nnw to write the next chapter and to write it in hooks nf law.

And second, no act of our1? could more fittingly continue Ihe work of President Kennedy than the earliest passage of the hill for which he fought, a bill designed to increase our national income, our federal revenues, and our insurance against recession. I urge you again, as I did in 19.77, and again in 1960, to enact a civil rights law so that we can move forward to eliminate from this nation every trace of discrimination and oppression based upon race or color. There could be no greater source of strength In this nation both at home and abroad. 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 nf learning every home and hamlet in America strong, forward-looking action on the pending foreign aid bill, making clear that Mack Dies From the chamber on representative government let.

all Ihe world know, and none misunderstand, that I rededicate this government to the unswerving support of Ihe United Na-linns, lo the honorable and determine execution nf our commitments to our allies, to the maintenance of military strength second to none lo Ihe defense of the strength and stability of Ihe dollar, to the expansion of our foreign trade, lo the re-enforccmcnt of our programs of mutual assistance and cooperation in Asia and Alrica, and to our Alliance for Progress in I his hemisphere. On the 20lh nf January, in met. John F. Kennedy told his countrymen that our national work would nnt he finished in the first one thousand days. Nor in the life nf this administration, nor even perhaps in mir lifetime on this planet." But, he said, "Let us begin." Today in this moment nf new resolve.

I would say to my fellow Americans, let us continue.

We have proved that we are a good and reliable friend lo those who seek peace and freedom. We have shown that we can also be a formidable foe to those who reject the path of peace and who seek lo impose upon us or our allies the yoke of tyranny.

Mack resigned under intense pressure, finally joined by the White House itself, and came back to Miami. He was indicted and tried and then dropped into the oblivion of an alcoholic mist.

Mr.

Johnson went back In the House. Then came Pearl Harbor. Two days later Mr. Johnson, a naval reserve officer, obtained leave from the House and went away to war. He served on a three-man commission inspecting conditions in the Southwest Pacific, and rode on some bombing missions.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur decorated him with the Silver Star. In mid-1942, Mr. Roosevelt ordered him back to Ihe House. His victorious 1948 campaign for the Senate is notable in several respects.

He campaigned by helicopter. And he defeated Gov. Coke Stevenson by 87 votes out of nearly a million cast! For a lime, thereafter, he was known in Washington as "Landslide Lyndon." Rut his natural talent for getting along in the Senate, and getting things done, soon asserted themselves. He was elected Democratic whip in 1951 and Democratic leader in 1933. At 44, he was the youngest tloor leader in history.

Johnson once said he had no presidential ambitions. "I'm conscious of my limitations," he said. "I think it's fair to say nobody hut my mama ever thought I'd get as far as I have."

Florida Holiday Deaths Predicted TALLAHASSEE (AP) Tha Florida Highway Patrol predicts that 17 persons will be killed in travel accidents between fi p.m. today and midnight Sunday, the Thanksgiving weekend.

The guess was based on the last three Thanksgivings. Fifteen persons were killed during the comparable period in 1960, 17 in 1961 and 14 in 1962. This is the second In a series of three articles spotlighting the new President by Relman (Pat) Morin, Asoriated Press Pulitzer Prize-winning reportert. By RELMAN MORIN WASHINGTON AP Sunshine tinged the tops of the pecan and sycamore trees, swept across the town of Stonewall. and glowed in the room where Sam Ealey Johnson Jr.

was shaking his son's font. "Get up. Ljndon." he siiid. Everybody in town's got a two-hour head start on you." Lyndon Baincs Johnson began running. He has never slopped.

Today, he is President of the United Slates. But Ihe greatest race of Mr. Johnson's life lies ahead of him. In less than a year, another presidential election campaign will be under way. To be serving by reason of tragedy is one thing.

But to be elected President is the supreme goal of any American politician. And Mr. Johnson is the ultimate politician. He was born on a ranch near Stonewall, Aug. 27, 1908.

On that day, so the story goes, his grandfather said. "He'll be a U.S. senator some day." True or nnt. only a few years were to elapse before Mr, Johnson was on his way. He had a political background.

His grandfather and his father both served in the Texas House of Representatives. Another forebear was a signer nf the Texas Declaration of Independence. On his mother's side, his relatives were Baptist clergymen and educators. His great grandfather headed Baylor University for two years. After he finished high school, FIRST IN LATIN AMERICA FIRST ON THE ATLANTIC FIRST ON THE PACIFIC FIRST 'ROUND THE WORLD Next, he was appointed stale administrator for Texas of the National Youth Administration.

He returned to Texas in that capacity in 1933. Mr. Johnson married in 1934. Claudia Alta Taylor has heen known all her life as "Lady Bird." When a Negro nurse first saw her, she said. "She's as pretty as a lady bird," Even the congressional directory today lists her under the nickname.

Their courtship was typically Texas tornado style. "I remember when we met." his wife says. "It was in the afternoon. We had a date thai evening. The n'xt da.

he proposed. "Sometimes, he takes your breath clear away." Fron. Washington, a blizzard of letters and telegrams, abng with telephone calls, came to Miss Taylor from Johnson. Ten weeks later, they were SENATOR IN 1948 Rep. James Buchanan, Mr.

Johnson ran for the seat. He waged a shrewd, boldly-conceived campaign which was fortuitous for two reasons it won, and it brought him to the attention nf President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Nine other candidates were in Ihe race. Mr.

Johnson concluded that, lo get in the spotlight, he must do something dramatic. He came out for the main planks of the New Deal. The other candidates concentrated Iheir fire on him. He got the spotlight, all right, and won. A Texan elected on a New Deal platform! President Roosevelt, who was fishing off Corpus Christi at the time, was delighted.

He invited Mr. Johnson to ride to Washington on the presidential train. He also arranged to have Mr. Johnson seated on the important naval affairs committee a rare thing for a freshman congressman and brought him to the White House for Sunday breakfasts. In short.

Mr. Johnson wa close to the throne from the start of his political life. "He i Roosevelt was like a daddy to me," Mr. Johnson often said. His first try for the Senate, in 1941, failed.

Instead, with some other hoys, he walked and hitchhiked to California. Seven months later, he was home, working as a highway laborer, driving a truck, pushing a wheelbarrow, wielding pick and shovel. Finally, after a hearl-to-hrart talk, his parents persuaded him to go In college. He bnrrowrd $73 and enrolled in Southwest Texas Stale Trachers College at San Mar-ens. "I took 40 courses and got 33 he says, To help pay his expenses, he worked as a janitor.

Having enrolled in a public speaking course, he practiced speech-making while sweeping out the classrooms. He graduated in 1930. The following year is an im-pnrtant one in the Johnson story. He went to Washington as secretary to Congressman Richard Kleberg and fell head over heels in love with politics. In short order, he won his first election speaker of the "Little Congress," a mock legislature composed of congressmen's secretaries.
