justice, which must motivate any true artist, makes them aware that our
nation falls short of its highest potential.
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and our
civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish
the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision
wherever it takes him.
In a free society, art is not a weapon and it does not belong to the sphere
of polemics and ideology. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
It may be different elsewhere. But democratic society?in it?the highest
duty of the writer, the composer, the artist is to remain true to himself and
to let the chips fall where they may.
I look forward to a great future for America?a future in which our
country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth
with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and
beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will
preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our
national past and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our
future.
I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts
as we reward achievement in business or statecraft.
I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of
artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural oppor-
tunities for all of our citizens.
And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout
the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well.
And I look forward to a world which will be safe not only for democracy
and diversity but also for personal distinction.
Robert Frost was often skeptical about projects for human improvement.
'Yet I do not think he would disdain this hope.
As he wrote during the uncertain days of the Second War:
Take human nature altogether since time began...
And it must be a little more in favor of man.
Say a fraction of one per cent at the very least ...
Our hold on the planet wouldn't have so increased.
Because of Mr. Frost's life and work, because of the life and work of this
college, our hold cin this planet has increased.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
[1929-1968]
751
The outstanding leader of the Negro's struggle for civil rights, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., was a firm advocate of non-violence as the
means of achieving these rights. Minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist
Church in Montgomery, Alabama, Dr. King brought together the sup-
port of white and Negro clergymen, businessmen, professional men,:
and students in such actions as the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He'
received an A.B. degree from Morehouse College and a Ph.D. from
Boston University. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He
was in Memphis, Tennessee, planning to march with members of Me
sanitation department in an appeal for better working conditions, when
he was assassinated.
On August 28, 1963, Dr. King, as president of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, was one of the principal speakers at the outdoor
gathering of the Civil Rights March on Washington, D.C. The address
was spoken from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. (Copyright ? 1963
by Martin Luther King, Jr.; reprinted by permission of loan Daves.)
I HAVE A DREAM
I Am HAPPY to join with you today in what will go down in history as the
greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great .American, in whose symbolic shadow we
stand, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came
as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been
seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to
end the long night of captivity.
But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro
is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly
crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the
midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later the
Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds him-
self an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an
appalling condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's Capital to cash a check. When
the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitu-
tion and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory
note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise
that all men would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note in-
sofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred

752 The World's Great Speeches
obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check; a check which
has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that
the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insuffi-
cient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have
come to cash this check?a check that will give us upon demand the riches
of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed
spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to
engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of
gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of Democracy. Now
is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the
sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of oppor-
tunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the
quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment
and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering sum-
mer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an
invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. 1963 is not an end, but a
beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and
will now be content will have a rude awakening if the Nation returns to
business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America
until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt
will continue to shake the foundations of our Nation until the bright day
of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the
warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of
gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us
not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitter-
ness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of
dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degene-
rate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic
heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new
militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a
distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced
by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied
up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We
cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil
rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long
as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.
We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of
travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of
the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is
from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a
Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has
nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be
satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty
stream.
The United States 753
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials
and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some
of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you bat-
tered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police
brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to
work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina,
go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos
of our modern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be
changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustra-
tions of the moment I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true
meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men
are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down
together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state
sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed
into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content
of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips
are presehtly dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will
be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will
be able to join hand with little white boys and white girls and walk together
as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and
mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains, and the
crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With
this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of
hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of
our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we
will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to
jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be
free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with
new meaning "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I
sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every
mountainside, let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let free-

dom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom
ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the
heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and mole hill of Mississippi. From every
mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and
every hamlet, from every, state and every city, we will be able to speed up
that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and
Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in
the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God
almighty, we are free at last!"
Dwight David Eisenhower
[1890--1969]
President Eisenhower (see biographical sketch and other addresses,
pp. 603-611) delivered his farewell address to the nation on January
17, 1961. The -speech was broadcast over radio and television. Eisen-
hower here used the expression "military-industrial complex," warning
of its possibly excessive influence. Emphasis is also placed on the
danger of loss of individual initiative resulting from extensive govern-
ment involvement in technology and research. Major portions of the
speech are included here.
FAREWELL ADDRESS
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.
Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agree-
ment 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 im-
mediate 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 national 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 peen able to do so much together.
We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed
The United States
755
four major wars among great nations?three of these involved our own
country.
Despite these holocausts America is today the strongest, the most influen-
tial 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.
A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our
arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor
may be tempted to risk his own destruction.
Our military organization today bears little relation to that knowniiy any
of my predecessors in peacetime?or, indeed, by the fighting men of World
War II or Korea.
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no arma-
ments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as
required, make swords as well.
But we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense..
We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast
? proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are
directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on mili-
tary security alone more than the net income of all United States corpora-
tions.
Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large
arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence?
economic, political, even spiritual?is felt in every city, every state house,
every office of the Federal Government. We recognize the imperative need
for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implica-
tions. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very
structure of our society.
In the councils of Government, we must guard against the acquisition
of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-
industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced ,power
exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties
or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert
and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge
industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and
goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Akin to and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-
military posture has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution research has become central. It also becomes more
formalized, complex and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for,
by, or at the direction of the Federal Government.
Today the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed
by task forces of scientists, in laboratories and testing fields. In the same
fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and
scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research.

V. Objective:
Encourage and support the development of Martin Luther

governments and organizations to undertake at least
one specific action oriented activity which can
achieve measurable results within a specified time
period, especially before the expiration of the
Federal Commission on April 20, 1989. Governments
and organizations have been requested to register their
Heritage Action Projects with the Federal Holiday
Commission so that records may be obtained on progress
and problems and to assure that proper recognition can
be accorded those projects that succeeded and achieved
"measurable result." Heritage Action Projects must
address problems of poverty, racism, war, and violence
in its many forms, and how these issues impact upon
the human experience.
Examples of Heritage Action Project Include:
1. Providing for affordable housing for the poor
and other low income groups.
2. Job training, placement, counseling, basic skills
and day care.
3. Projects to eliminate poverty and promote economic
development for the poor, minorities, and other
disadvantaged groups.

strengthen families, help the handicapped, and
the terminally ill.

8. Needed public improvement programs, especially
in areas heavily populated by minorities and the
poor.
The Federal Holiday Commission proposes to institution-
lize the Heritage Action Projects and to elevate them
to a higher level of public visibility, recognition,
and appreciation. It is recommended that a major
event in 1989 be used to highlight the program and
to focus on the results of Heritage Action Projects.
The Commission will develop a brochure and poster
highlighting the importance of the Heritage Action
Project; provide for wide distribution of these and
other materials; establish a process of certification
and monitor programs for measurable results.
The Heritage Action Projects are expected to take
their place as symbols and elements of the National
Holiday along with the national theme, the U.S. Liberty
Bell and bell ringing ceremony and national radio,
tribute. The National Poster and the Freedom
Trail and the Freedom Train are also essential elements
for publicity identifying and relating universally
to the National Holiday.
B. Recommended Actions: (See Attachment II)
1. Distribute Heritage Action program material.
2. Federal departments and agencies will select and
report on their respect projects as appropriate.

VI. Objective:
Sponsor Orientation and Training Conferences.
A. Background:
For the past three years the Federal Commission has
conducted an Annual National Planning Conference for
State and Local Holiday Commissions. One of the
objectives of the conference has been to provide
guidance on how to conduct King Holiday activities
and programs. For sometime the Commission has wanted
to conduct similar conferences for representatives
from Federal departments and agencies in Washington,
D.C. and the ten Federal regions. These conferences
would be orientation sessions on the National
Holiday to facilitate a better understanding of
what the Federal Commission is attempting to.
accomplish through the institutionalization and
traditionalizing of America's newest holiday.
Participants would take back to their respective
departments and agencies a better understanding
of the objectives of the National Holiday.
B. Recommended Action:
1. Work with Holiday Commission to sponsor a series
of orientation and training sessions. First
session to be conducted for Committee represen-
tatives.

Dear Director Webster:
Ea=
Please accept my thanks and that of members of the Federal Agency
and Employee Involvement Committee of the Martin Luther King, Jr.
Federal Holiday Commission for your support of the third national
holiday in honor of Dr. King. Thanks also for your support of the
Committee's efforts to encourage Federal employees to complete at
least one action oriented project which was consistent with
Dr. King's efforts to secure civil rights and economic advancement
for all Americans.
Now that the holiday is past, we must train our sights on the fourth
observance of the holiday on January 16, 1989. With this in mind,
we are inviting you or your designee to attend a Federal Committee
Planning Meeting. The meeting will be held at the Department of
Interior, 18th and C Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C., North
Penthouse room 8068, on September 14, 1988, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.
A copy of our tentative agenda is provided for your review. Any
comments and/or suggestions regarding the agenda will be welcome.
Please contact Robert Stanton at [phone] as soon as possible
so that we can get an estimate of the number of people for whom we
will need to prepare. The information that will be given out and
the exchange of ideas at the meeting will be of immeasurable value
to those responsible for planning the next celebration of Dr. King's
birthday.
We look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, if you have
any questions give Mr. Stanton a call.
Sincerely,

Honorable Williams H. Webster
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Director Webster:
Monday, January 18, 1988, will mark the third Federal holiday honoring Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission
has designated the period January 11-15, 1988, as "King Week 88." This year's
theme for the Observance of Dr. King's birthday is the same as last year's
"Living the Dream: Let Freedom Ring! For Universal Peace With Justice, Human
Rights, Social and Economic Progress for All Peoples."
I have accepted the invitation of Mrs. Coretta Scott King to serve a second term
as Chair of the Federal Agency and Employee Involvement Committee of the Federal
Commission. As you know, this Committee was established in order to encourage
maximum participation of Federal employees in "King Week" celebration over the
past two years.
This year the Committee's efforts are focused on accomplishing two major pro-
jects during 1988. First, we are asking that you encourage your employees
located in your headquarters and in regional or field areas to identify at least
one action oriented project to undertake in 1988 that will be consistent with
Dr. King's efforts to secure civil rights and economic advancement for all
Americans.
Second, we are inviting you and your employees to attend the once-in-a-lifetime
ceremony surrounding the implanting of a time capsule that will contain selected
memorabilia highlighting the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr. The
capsule will be implanted on the Western Plaza located at Pennsylvania Avenue
and 14th St. N.W., Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, January 12, 1988. The ceremony
for this landmark event is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The capsule
will be opened in 2088.
The Department of Transportation will provide shuttle bus service to Western
Plaza. A schedule of the service is attached.

forward to your continued assistance and support for these endeavors. Please
contact Robert G. Stanton at [phone] or William Drummond at (202)

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
TBRU: Deputy Director for Administration
Director of Personnel
FROM: Robert E. Fitzgerald
Director of Equal Employment Opportunity
SUBJECT: Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Observance
1. Action Requested:
a. Agree to provide a 60-second audio statement (draft attached at
TAB A,) to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission for
inclusion, along with other selected historic statements and personal
memorabilia, in a planned Time Capsule.
b. Provide Agency support to the Commission's "outreach"
activities (promotional statement attached at TAB B) by authorizing
a limited solicitation. In accordance with the stipulations
outlined by the Office of General Counsel, this support would
require a waiver of provisions of HR 45-21.
2. Background
a. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission is
planning to locate a Time Capsule somewhere on Pennsylvania Avenue,
N. W., in January 1988 and is soliciting memorabilia and other materials,
such as audio statements from prominent national figures and world
leaders. The Commission's letter addressed, to former Director,
William Casey, (attached at TAB C) requests that CIA join other
agencies in this government-wide effort to commemorate Dr. King's
birthday.
b. The Commission also requests that the CIA support its outreach
program by disseminating their promotional statement to our employees and
giving them an opportunity to make a one dollar contribution to this
program, and in turn the names of the employees would be enscribed on a
miniature "Liberty Bell" Which would also be enclosed in the Capsule.

Draft Statement for Time Capsule
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in his "I Have A Dream" speech on August 28,
1963, reminded us of the promise of our Constitution that all men are
guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
Over the decades, the men and women of the Central Intelligence Agency
have given dedicated service to the protection of these rights and their
support to the principles of fairneis and equal opportunity for all. Having
just celebrated the Bicentennial ere Constitution--an occasion for
rededicating ourselves to its guiding principles--we continue our efforts to
open opportunities for people of all races and nationalities to participate in
the work of intelligence to safeguard four national security.
N
? When this capsule is opened we ,trust that the historical record will be
clear that the Central Intelligence Agency contributed in its way to, in
Dr. King's immortal words, "making justice a reality for all of God's
? chi 1 dren" .
