A farewell address from Dwight D. Eisenhower, on laying down the office of President of the United States. "Good evening my fellow Americans. First, I should like to express my gratitude to the radio and television networks for the opportunities they have given me over the years to bring reports and messages to our nation...Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony the authority of the presidency is invested in my successor." Good wishes to coming president. Eisenhower recalls his relations with congress and expresses gratitude to it. Despite three wars, America most influential country in the world but prestige depends on how we use our power; we've strived to keep peace, foster progress in human achievement, and enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among peoples and among nations - any failure would be to our hurt. We used not the sacrifices of emergency, but those that enable us to carry on progressively...the need to maintain balance in and between national programs. Balance between the private and public economy; balance between the cost and hoped for advantages...between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable; balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the national welfare of the future. Good judgement seeks balance in progress. lack of it eventually find imbalance and frustration. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machine of defence with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together. Research: A government contract becomes a substitute for intellectual curiosity. Resources: We must avoid the impulse to live only for today. I confess I lay down my office with a sense of disappointment (on prospects of peace...). "So in this my last goodnight to you as your president, I thank you for the many opportunities you have given me for public service in war and in peace. I trust in that service you will find some things worthy, as for the rest of it; I know you will find some ways to improve performance in the future. You and I, my fellow citizens, need to be strong in our faith that all devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the nations great goals. To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing aspiration. We pray that peoples of all faith, of all races, of all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full, that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings that those who have freedom will understand also its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the need of others will learn charity; that the sources and scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth; and that in the goodness of time all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love. Now on Friday noon, I am to become a private citizen. I am proud to do so. I look forward to it. Thank you and good night". <30mn>
