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. my special thanks go to them for
the opportunity of addressing you this evening.
three days from now, after half 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 vested in my
successor. this evening, i come to you with a message of
leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final
thoughts with you, my countrymen.
1
like every other -- like every other citizen, i wish
the new president, and all who will labor with him,
godspeed. i pray that the coming years will be blessed
with peace and prosperity for all.
our people expect their president and the congress to
find essential agreement on issues of great moment, the
wise resolution of which will better shape the future of
the nation. my own relations with the congress, which
began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a
member of the senate appointed me to west point, have
since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate
post-war period, and finally to the mutually
interdependent during these past eight years. in this
final relationship, the congress and the administration
have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the
nation good, rather than mere partisanship, and so have
assured that the business of the nation should go
forward. so, my official relationship with the congress
ends in a feeling -- on my part -- of gratitude that we
have been able to do so much together.
we now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century
that has witnessed four major wars among great nations.
three of these involved our own country. despite these
2
holocausts, america is today the strongest, the most
influential, and most productive nation in the world.
understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize
that america's leadership and prestige depend, not merely
upon our unmatched material progress, riches, and
military strength, but on how we use our power in the
interests of world peace and human betterment.
throughout america's adventure in free government,
our basic purposes have been to keep the peace, to foster
progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty,
dignity, and integrity among peoples and among nations.
to strive for less would be unworthy of a free and
religious people. any failure traceable to arrogance, or
our lack of comprehension, or readiness to sacrifice
would inflict upon us grievous hurt, both at home and
abroad.
progress toward these noble goals is persistently
threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. it
commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. we
face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in
character, ruthless in purpose, and insiduous [insidious]
in method. unhappily, the danger it poses promises to be
of indefinite duration. to meet it successfully, there is
