The President
THE PRESIDENT: Please be seated. Good morning.
I suppose you would expect me to mention that
this is Safe Driving Day, and I am really hoping for the
Library
very best.
The
I was notified there was a petition on the way
a JUMPO
to my desk somewhere in the mailroom -- 20 thousand
people in one city offering their cooperation. I certainly
hope it is effective, not only in that city but everywhere.
I should like to mention briefly the great satis-
faction that the Administration and I take and I am sure
the whole American people do -- in the visit of the Shah
to our country -- of the Shah of Iran, with his lovely wife.
You know a matter of a year and a half ago how
badly things were going in Iran. From the standpoint of
the Western world, it looked like Iran was on the way to
becoming another of the so called satellites.
So this meeting seems to have not only significance
in itself, but as symbolizing a great contrast in the con-
ditions, at least in that country, between a year and a half
ago -- or 16 months ago -- and today. It is a matter of
great satisfaction to us.
