WAYNE MORSE, 29, 127, 179 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DENTAL SOCIETY, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. DEAR SENATOR: I would like to place on record, the support of the District of Columbia Dental Society for the bill S. 1999 which is designed to amend the District of Columbia Public Education Act. The Washington Technical Institute, as we understand, will at some future date, have the training of dental laboratory technicians as well as dental assistants and hygienists, which are in great demand by the profession. With this objective in mind, our Society is in support of this bill which will earmark funds for this institute. Very truly yours, JOSEPH R. SALCETTI, D.D.S., Secretary. GREATER WASHINGTON CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL, AFL-CIO, Hon. WAYNE MORSE, S. 1999 would designate Washington Technical Institute as the Land-Grant College for the District of Columbia. The benefits of the Morrill-Nelson Act and the Bankhead-Jones Act are available to all States and Puerto Rico but not the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Public Education Act (P.L. 89791), which the Congress passed last year, establishes the Washington Technical Institute to provide vocational and technical education to prepare individuals for useful employment. The original purpose of the Land-Grant College program was to endow colleges in each State so that they could maintain programs of instruction in the mechanic arts, economic sciences, etc., with "special reference to their applications to the industries of life." Consistent with this purpose, the proposed legislation would make funds available to provide support of programs of instruction in such areas as home economics, and technical education. We understand that the Washington Technical Institute would receive $50,000 under the Morrill-Nelson Act and approximately $330,000 under the Bankhead-Jones Act. It has come to our attention that the Land-Grant program is the only program administered by the Office of Education in which the District of Columbia cannot participate. The extension of the benefits of the land-grant program to the District of Columbia and the designation of the Washington Technical Institute as its land-grant college seems to us to be highly commendable. We strongly support the enactment of S. 1999. We request that this statement be made a part of the record of the hearings. Respectfully yours, J. C. TURNER, President. THE WHITE HOUSE REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT AT SITE DEDICATION CEREMONIES, THE (As Actually Delivered) Governor Brown, President Kerr, Mr. Carter, Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Dutton, Congressman Miller, Congressman Utt, Congressman Hanna, Distinguished guests on the platform, Members of the Board of Regents, Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been in California now less than 30 hours and I think I already know why you are number one in the Nation in so many fields. Your leaders have the vision and your people have the vigor that put California on top. Governor Brown, I predict that is where California is going to stay. There seems to be a sense of urgency in California that translates good words into good deeds. Men have been talking about the importance of education now in America ever since Thomas Jefferson once said, "If you expect a nation to be ignorant and free, you expect what never was and never will be." California is not just atalking about education-you are doing something about it. This campus is a perfect example. It seems, in fact, that every time I come to California you build a new college. The last time, only three months ago, you were dedicating a new campus at Santa Cruz. Today, the University adds another campus at Irvine. If you keep up this pace, President Kerr, you are going to have a lot of ceremonies like this between now and November. Urgent problems demand urgent programs. By 1970 California must provide desks and teachers for more than a million additional students. In the next six years you must build as many schools, teach as many students, and spend as much money on education as you have during the past 80 years. I know something about this State. I know something about the West. I know that you have the concern, the courage and the commitment to get this job done. You will not be alone. Education is a national need, and I want to assure you that as long as I am President, the education of your children is going to receive top priority by the men who lead your Nation.
