Birthday: Nixon Invites Whole World He said the bicentennial was a time for America to say to the nations of the world You helped to make us what we are. Come and see what wonders your countrymen have worked in this new country of ours. Come and fet us say thank you. Come and join in our celebration of a proud past Come and share our drea.s of a bright future. Nixon gave only the broad outlines of the planned celebrations, wmich aie being coordinated by the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, established by Congress in 1966.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI) President Nixon said today the United States will invite the world to its 200th birthday party, so that the children of those who stayed behind when others immigrated to America can -see what wonders your countrymen have worked in this new land. He predicted 28 million would come. In his Independence Day address, Nixon said he was preparing to issue an unprecedented invitation to the world Of the other two themes, one called Heritage 76 will focus on the nations history during the past two centuries and the other Horizons 76 will involve setting goals for the third century, he said. Nixon said he would send formal and official invitations to governments around the globe and urged Americans to participate in people-to-people contacts with the millions of visitors he predicted wouid accept the invitation.

Nixon called on corporation with foreign branches; U.S. municipalities with sister cities abroad; Americans with overseas relatives: shipping lines: airlines; all to join in the campaign to urge foreigners to accept the invitation and then to help- act as host to them. "Volunteers young and oid can serve as guides, as interpreters, as hosts and hostesses, to help greet a flood of bicentennial guests which may be double the nearly 14 million persons who visited the United States last year." Mxon said. Such contacts, he said, would go a long way in reducing the fear and the ignorance which have divided mankind down through the ages. The bicentennial commission has been criticized from some quarters for moving too slowly in preparing for the celebrations.

but Nixon promised it would follow up his announcement with a vigorous action program. He asked the travel industry to redouble efforts to bring the costs of lodging, meals and transportation within the reach of visitors and people throughout the country to open their "hearts and homes and communities to those who come to America for the first time. to visit the United States during the bicentennial celebration year of 1976. He appealed to the travel industry to try too put a vacation trip to the United Stales within the economic reach of more foreigners, and asked Americans to open "heir homes to visitors from abroad. The invitation, Nixon said, would be issued in conjunction Festival USA, one of three main themes tor the nations bicentennial celebration, which he promised would be as wide as Americas land and as richly diverse as its people.

The President made his remarks in an Independence Day address hrepared for delivery over nationwide radio from his office at the Western White House. The invitation is appropriate because the United States "is, and always has been, a nation of rations, Nixon said. The blood of all peoples runs in our veins; the cultures of all peoples contribute to our culture; and to a certain extent the hopes of all peoples are bound up with our own hopes for the continuing success of the American experiment, he said.
