| Description: | TLS/MSs U.S. President RICHARD M. NIXON (Richard Nixon, Richard Milhous Nixon) continues delivering Inaugural Address: "Over the past 20 years, since I first came to this Capital as a freshman Congressman, I have visited most of the nations of the world. I have come to know the leaders of the world, & the great forces, the hatreds, the fears that divide the world. I know that peace does not come through wishing for it-- that there is no substitute for days & even years of patient & prolonged diplomacy. I also know the people of the world. I have seen the hunger of a homeless child, the pain of a man wounded in battle, the grief of a mother who has lost her son. I know these have no ideology, no race. I know America. I know the heart of America is good. I speak from my own heart, and the heart of my country, the deep concern we have for those who suffer, and those who sorrow." C/A MS LADY BIRD JOHNSON, JUDY AGNEW, and PAT NIXON seated, listening to speech, Johnson daughters in BG. "I have taken an oath today in the presence of God and my countrymen--" | |
