The goals\nand values of Abraham Lincoln continue to be our\ninspiration.\nAbraham Lincoln was devoted to equal justice for all\nand the freedom of the individual -- goals for which\nAmericans have worked and fought since the founding\nof our Nation.\nAbraham Lincoln sought a proper balance between\nthe rights of the individual and the powers of the gov-\nernment -- a quest which we have continued to this\nhour.\nAbraham Lincoln suffered and shared the agony of a\nnation then divided. Today we recognize the need\nfor unity in diversity -- unity of national purpose and\nunity of national ideals.\nIt is fitting that we rededicate ourselves in this his-\ntoric Bicentennial year to the moral and spiritual\nvalues that guided President Lincoln. Today, as\nbefore, our great Republic moves toward a more\nperfect union where government serves and the peo-\nple rule. Like the Americans of Lincoln's day, we\ncontinue to seek \"a just and lasting peace among our-\nselves and with all nations. 11\nHerold R. Ford\nFORD & LIBRARY"
