President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
MS U.S. President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "10.56 My fellow countrymen: On this occasion the oath I have taken before you and before God is not mine alone, but ours together. We are one nation and one people. Our fate as a nation and our future as a people rest not upon one citizen but upon all citizens. That is the majesty and the meaning of this moment. For every generation there is a destiny. For some, history decides. For this generation the choice must be our own. Even now, a rocket moves toward Mars. It reminds us that the world will not be the same for our children, or even for ourselves in a short span of years. The next man to stand here will look out on a scene that is different from our own. Ours is a time of change - rapid and fantastic change - bearing the secrets of nature, multiplying the nations, placing in uncertain hands new weapons for mastery and destruction, shaking old values and uprooting old ways. Our destiny in the midst of change will rest on the unchanged character of our people and on their faith. They came here - the exile and the stranger, brave but frightened - to find a place where a man could be his own man. They made a covenant with this land. Conceived in justice, written in liberty, bound in union, it was meant one day to inspire the hopes of all mankind. And it binds us still. If we keep its terms we shall flourish."
President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "First, justice was the promise that all who made the journey would share in the fruits of the land. In a land of great wealth, families must not live in hopeless poverty. In a land rich in harvest, children just must not go hungry. In a land of healing miracles, neighbors must not suffer and die untended. In a great land of learning and scholars, young people must be taught to read and write. For more than 30 years that I have served this Nation I have believed that this injustice to our people, this waste of our resources, was our real enemy. For 30 years or more, with the resources I have had, I have vigilantly fought against it. I have learned and I know that it will not surrender easily. But change has given us new weapons. Before this generation of Americans is finished, this enemy will not only retreat, it will be conquered. Justice requires us to remember: when any citizen denies his fellow, saying: His color is not mine or his beliefs are strange and different, in that moment he betrays America, though his forebears created this Nation."
President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "Liberty was the second article of our covenant. It was self-government. It was our Bill of Rights. But it was more. America would be a place where each man could be proud to be himself: stretching his talents, rejoicing in his work, important in the life of his neighbors and his nation. This has become more difficult in a world where change and growth seem to tower beyond the control and even the judgment of men. We must work to provide the knowledge and the surroundings which can enlarge the possibilities of every citizen."
President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "The American covenant called on us to help show the way for the liberation of man. And that is today our goal. Thus, if as a nation, there is much outside our control, as a people no stranger is outside our hope. Change has brought new meaning to that old mission. We can never again stand aside, prideful in isolation. Terrific dangers and troubles that we once called "foreign" now constantly live among us. If American lives must end, and American treasure be spilled, in countries that we barely know, then that is the price that change has demanded of conviction and of our enduring covenant. Think of our world as it looks from that rocket that is heading toward Mars. It is like a child's globe, hanging in space, the continent stuck to its side like colored maps. We are all fellow passengers on a dot of earth. And each of us, in the span of time, has really only a moment among our companions. How incredible it is that in this fragile existence we should hate and destroy one another. There are possibilities enough for all who will abandon mastery over others to pursue mastery over nature. There is world enough for all to seek their happiness in their own way. Our Nation's course is abundantly clear. We aspire to nothing that belongs to others. We seek no dominion over our fellow man, but man's dominion over tyranny and misery. But more is required. Men want to be part of a common enterprise, a cause greater than themselves. And each of us must find a way to advance the purpose of the Nation, thus finding new purpose for ourselves. Without this, we will simply become a nation of strangers."
President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "The third article is union. To those who were small and few against the wilderness, the success of liberty demanded the strength of union. Two centuries of change have made this true again. No longer need capitalist and worker, farmer and clerk, city and countryside, struggle to divide our bounty. By working shoulder to shoulder together we can increase the bounty of all. We have discovered that every child who learns, and every man who finds work, and every sick body that is made whole - like a candle added to an altar - brightens the hope of all the faithful. So let us reject any among us who seek to reopen old wounds and rekindle old hatreds. They stand in the way of a seeking nation. Let us now join reason to faith and action to experience, to transform our unity of interest into a unity of purpose. For the hour and the day and the time are here to achieve progress without strife, to achieve change without hatred; not without difference of opinion but without the deep and abiding divisions which scar the union for generations."
President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "Under this covenant of justice, liberty, and union we have become a nation - prosperous, great, and mighty. And we have kept our freedom. But we have no promise from God that our greatness will endure. We have been allowed by Him to seek greatness with the sweat of our hands and the strength of our spirit. I do not believe that the Great Society is the ordered, changeless, and sterile battalion of the ants. It is the excitement of becoming - always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting, and trying again - but always trying and always gaining. In each generation, with toil and tears, we have had to earn our heritage again. If we fail now then we will have forgotten in abundance what we learned in hardship: that democracy rests on faith, that freedom asks more than it gives, and the judgment of God is harshest on those who are most favored. If we succeed it will not be because of what we have, but it will be because of what we are; not because of what we own, but rather because of what we believe. For we are a nation of believers. Underneath the clamor of building and the rush of our day's pursuits, we are believers in justice and liberty and in our own union. We believe that every man must some day be free. And we believe in ourselves. And that is the mistake that our enemies have always made. In my lifetime, in depression and in war they have awaited our defeat. Each time, from the secret places of the American heart, came forth the faith that they could not see or that they could not even imagine. And it brought us victory. And it will again."
President Lyndon Baines Johnson Inaugural Address
President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) delivering Inaugural Address: "For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground. Is our world gone? We say farewell. Is a new world coming? We welcome it, and we will bend it to the hopes of man. And to these trusted public servants and to my family, and those close friends of mine who have followed me down a long winding road, and to all the people of this Union and the world, I will repeat today what I said on that sorrowful day in November last year: I will lead and I will do the best I can. But you, you must look within your own hearts to the old promises and to the old dreams. They will lead you best of all. For myself, I ask only in the words of an ancient leader: Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? " MS U.S. President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) steps away from podium and takes a seat, First Lady LADY BIRD JOHNSON in red gets up and kisses him.

Opening to media report with male Caucasian panel seated at table in studio. Topic of discussion, The Shafer Report: What To Do About Marijuana.

President Richard Nixon talking to press about marijuana, the National Commission on Marijuana, Drug Abuse and legalization.
What To Do About Marijuana: The Shafer Report
National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse meeting. Chairman makes a statement to the camera. "The recommendation of the Commission in its first report is a discouragement policy toward the use of marijuana in the United States today, but that we do not feel that private use or private possession in one's own home should have the stigma of criminalization, that people who experiment or use there, should not be criminalized for that particular behavior. With reference to public use or public responsibility, when under the influence of marijuana, then the criminal act applies. During the partial prohibition period of alcohol, it was legal to drink alcohol in your own home, but it wasn't legal to go out and buy it. It wasn't successful because there was not a massive campaign mounted by our culture to discourage use. And secondly they were attempting to take away a sanction or approval that society had already given this particular substance. We don't want that to happen to marijuana. We don't want the sanction or approval to be given to this psychotropic substance and then later on to find perhaps, as we have with nicotine or with other products, that it shouldn't have been done."
What To Do About Marijuana: The Shafer Report
Three Caucasian men from the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse sit in studio, Chairman The Honorable Raymond Philip Shafer, Vice Chairman Dana L. Farnsworth, M.D., and Executive Director Michael R. Sonnenreich. They will take calls from around the country. General overview of the tasks and purpose of the Commission are given.
What To Do About Marijuana: The Shafer Report
Raymond Philip Shafer outlines the policy recommendations reached by the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse. List of Federal Recommendations; 1 Possession for personal use no longer a crime, 2 Non-profit distribution of small amounts shall no longer be a crime, 3 Marihuana in public is contraband and is subject to seizure, 4 Marihuana intoxication no defense to crimes committed while under its influence. State Recommendations: 1 Private possession for personal use no longer a crime, 2 Private non-profit distribution of small amounts is no longer a crime, 3 Marihuana in public is contraband and is subject to seizure, 4 Public possession of more than one ounce for public use is a crime. Vice Chairman Dana L. Farnsworth defines types of marijuana users, Experimenters, Intermittent Users, Moderate Users, Heavy Users, Very Heavy Users. Findings show that maryjane does not incite the user to violence. They cannot determine if it affects someone s ability to drive, however driving while on marijuana should be considered quite risky.

Executive Director Michael R. Sonnenreich outlines other recommendations made by the Commission: better state and federal statistics, increased police training, tighter border surveillance, eradication of domestic production, uniformity of state laws, restored confidentiality in doctor - patient relationships, research to detect presence of marihuana in blood, breath and urine, increased research on long term effects, reconsideration of international obligations concerning marihuana, define marihuana separately from narcotics , single federal drug information source, evaluate existing drug education materials.
What To Do About Marijuana: The Shafer Report
Chairman The Honorable Raymond Philip Shafer, Vice Chairman Dana L. Farnsworth, M.D., and Executive Director Michael R. Sonnenreich take phone calls from reporters. Caller: I'm wondering about your feelings for those people already in prison for either simple marijuana possession or simple sale of marijuana. Both of these are felonies in Texas, one of the few states where it is a felony. Shafer: is sure that any decisions made will have a retroactive effect. Citizens must follow the law, however if they disagree with the law, they should try to get it changed. Caller: This is concerning marijuana smokers who are juveniles, would a teenage pot party in a private home be illegal under your recommendations? Shafer: Our recommendation is to discourage use by everyone the Commission wants to put responsibility on the institutions which can best handle it, the family, the church, the school, etc. then allow law enforcement to direct their attention on the supply. Caller: Do you feel that a politician will win or lose votes by supporting the panels recommendations? Shafer: states the commission has tried to take the matter out of the political realm so that it would not be a partisan matter. It should be treated as a public health issue.
What To Do About Marijuana: The Shafer Report
Chairman The Honorable Raymond Philip Shafer, Vice Chairman Dana L. Farnsworth, M.D., and Executive Director Michael R. Sonnenreich take phone calls from reporters. Caller: If we assume that the recommendations are adopted and its OK to have marijuana in the home, presumably then it would be OK to have a marijuana seed, and probably OK to plant the seed and grow a marijuana plant in your own home. Then should we gather that it would be OK to smoke that plant, and if that s so wouldn t it be better to have people grow their own pot in their own homes then to go out and continue trafficking with the criminal sources? Shafer: states that the commission recommendations do not extend to growing in your home, that would still be under the criminal sanctions. Caller: Many people believe that the partial decriminalization of marijuana use that you re recommending is the first step in eventually even the laws that your commission is proposing will be relaxed. There is even some suspicion that some of the members of your commission might have favored a total decriminalization, but that it wasn't politically possible or feasible at this time. Can you comment on that? Shafer: states that that assumption is incorrect. They do not want legalization. Caller: You do make reference in the report to possible change in these recommendations in the future if the feeling is that the dominant social view towards marijuana changes and if the scientific research failed to turn up any sort of harm. Shafer does say that anything is possible to change due to future research.
What To Do About Marijuana: The Shafer Report
Chairman The Honorable Raymond Philip Shafer, Vice Chairman Dana L. Farnsworth, M.D., and Executive Director Michael R. Sonnenreich take phone calls from reporters. Caller: First I wondered if President Nixon has responded yet to the commission recommendation. Shafer: states that Nixon has not made any response. Caller: The commission will probably be criticized for inconsistency in making marijuana legal in the home contraband in the car, say going from the point of getting marijuana to the home. For that interim period that drug would be illegal. Would you comment on this please? Shafer: states that he feels they may receive criticism, but they have told the truth. Caller: Once we start with a more relaxed policy concerning marijuana, in connection with the policy of social disapproval, the process will be very difficult to reverse and likewise what happens if it doesn't work? Shafer: states that she is assuming that the American public won t be able to make a wise choice on their own. Caller: Do you think that this policy will give young people more respect for the law then they have had in the recent years? Shaffer: Yes, I certainly do.
