OCR Page 1 of 51THE PRESIDENT'S READING COPY
STATE OF THE UNION
January 22, 1970
my Calbyn in
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the Congress, our distinguished
guests and my fellow Americans.
To address a joint session of the Congress in this great chamber, where I
was once privileged to serve, is an honor for which I am deeply grateful.
The State of the Union Address is traditionally an occasion for a lengthy and
detailed account by the President of what he has accomplished in the past,
what he wants the Congress to do in the future, and, in an election year,
to lay the basis for the political issues which might be decisive in the Fall.
1. Occasionally there comes a time when profound and far-reaching
events command a break with tradition.
(1) This is such a time.
I say this not only because 1970 marks the beginning of a new decade in
which America will celebrate its 200th birthday.
1. I say it because new knowledge and hard experience argue
persuasively that both our programs and our institutions
need to be reformed.
