I encourage chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and other public and private organizations to observe this week by recognizing the contributions which small business enterprises have made to our national development. I urge them to find appropriate means for paying tribute to the accomplishments of small business, and I trust they will encourage small businessmen to achieve new successes in the future. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.

I call upon all Americans to join our fellow citizens of the world m making this year one of reflection on the state of education as it exists and of action directed toward making education what it should be. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of February in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.
