1、第 1 页 Lyndon Baines Johnson: “Let Us Continue“1 特征码 ahuSxZXEwixmjfPpMxLt Lyndon Baines Johnson: “Let Us Continue“ Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the House, Members of the Senate, my fellow Americans: All I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today. The greatest leader of o
2、ur time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time. Today, John Fitzgerald Kennedy lives on in the immortal words and works that he left behind. He lives on in the mind and memories of mankind. He lives on in the hearts of his countrymen. No words are sad enough to express our sense of los
3、s. No words are strong enough to express our determination to continue the forward thrust of America that he began. The dream of conquering the vastness of space, the dream of partnership across the Atlantic - and across the Pacific as well - the dream of a Peace Corps in less developed nations, the
4、 dream of education for all of our children, the dream of jobs for all who seek 第 2 页 them and need 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 their race or color. These and other Ame
5、rican dreams have been vitalized by his drive and by his dedication. And now the ideas and the ideals which he so nobly represented must and will be translated into effective action. Under John Kennedys leadership, this nation has demonstrated that it has the courage to seek peace, and it has the fo
6、rtitude 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 formidable foe to those who reject the path of peace and those who seek to impose upon us or our allies the yoke of tyranny. This nation will keep its m
7、itments from South Vietnam to West Berlin. We will be unceasing 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 mon cause. In this age when there can be no losers in peace and no 第 3
8、 页 victors in war, we must recognize the obligation to match national 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 negotiate the mon interest. Th
9、is is the path that we shall continue to pursue. Those who test our courage will find it strong, and those who seek our friendship 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. And let all kn
10、ow we will extend no special privilege and impose no persecution. We will carry on the fight against poverty, and misery, and disease, and ignorance, in other lands and in our own. We will serve all the nation, not one section or one sector, or one group, but all Americans. These are the United Stat
11、es: A united people with a united purpose. Our American unity does not depend upon unanimity. We have differences; but now, as in the past, we can derive from those differences strength, not weakness, 第 4 页 wisdom, not despair. Both as a people and a government, we can unite upon a program, a progra
12、m which is wise and just, enlightened and constructive. For 32 years Capitol Hill has been my home. I have shared many moments of pride with you, pride in the ability of the Congress of the United States to act, to meet any crisis, to distill from our differences strong programs of national action.
13、An assassins bullet has thrust upon me the awesome burden of the Presidency. I am here today to say I need your help. I cannot bear this burden alone. I need the help of all Americans, and all America. This nation has experienced a profound shock, and in this critical moment, it is our duty, yours a
14、nd mine, as the Government of the United States, to do away with uncertainty and doubt and delay, and to show th at we are capable of decisive action; that from the brutal loss of our leader we will derive not weakness, 第 5 页 but strength; that we can and will act and act now. From this chamber of r
15、epresentative government, let all the world know and none misunderstand that I rededicate this Government to the unswerving support of the United Nations, to the honorable and determined execution of our mitments to our allies, to the maintenance of military strength second to none, to the defense o
