Duty to Inform and Alert

1t is the unprecedented nature
of this challenge that also gives
rise to your second obligation
an obligation which / share.
And that is our obligation to
inform and alert the American
people-to make certain they
possess all the facts they need,
and understand them as we'll
the perils, the prospects, the
purposes Of our program and
the choices we face.
No President should fear
public scrutiny Of his program.
For from that scrutiny comes
understanding; and from that
understanding comes support.
am not asking your news
papers to support me at all
times on the editorial page
this is not Utopia yet.
But I am asking your help in
the tremendous task of in
forming and alerting the
American people. For I have
complete confidence in the
response and dedication Of our
citizens whenever they are
fully informed.
I not only could not stifle
controversy among your
readers-I welcome it. This
administration intends to be
candid about its errors; for, as
a wise man once said IAN
error doesn't become a mistake
until you refuse to correct it. 1"
We intend to accept full
responsibility for our errors:
and we expect you to point
them out when we miss them.
The Purpose of the Press
without debate, without
criticism, no administration can
Succeed-and no republic can
survive. That is why the
Athenian lawmaker Solon de-
creed it a crime for the citizen
to shrink from controversy.
And that is why our press was
protected by the First Amend
ment-the only business in
America specifically protected
} by the Constitution-not pri-
marily to amuSe and entertain,
not to emphasize the trivial
and the sentimental, not simply
to give the public what it
wants"-but to inform, to
arouse, to reflect, to state our
dangers and our opportunities,
to indicate our crisis and our
choices, to lead, mold, educate
and sometimes even anger
public opinion.
This means greater coverage
and analysis of international
newS-for it Is no longer far
away and foreign, but close at
hand and local. 1t means
greater attention to improved
understanding of the news as
we'll as improved transmission.
And 1t means, finally, that Gov
ernment at all levels, must meet
It's obligation to provide you
with the fullest possible infor-
nation outside the very narrow
limits previously mentioned
and this administration intends
to meet that obligation to q
degree never before approach
ed by any nation In the world.

danger Of being compelled to

This doctrine is, Of course.
based upon the concept of
the Fourteenth Amendment
which the Supreme Court of
the United States proclaimed
in its "desegregation decisions
in 1854. The point was made
then that equal protection
of the laws" means equal
application of State laws to
children attending public
schools. But there is nothing
in the Fourteenth Amend
ment or anywhere else in the
Constitution which says the
Federal Government may tell
a State it cannot provide
funds to keep its public
schools open in 81 counties
and 80 independent cities be-
cause a single county hap
pens to close such schools.
This is an obvious form of
punitive action that can
readily be repeated by an
executive order directing any
State which accepts Federal
funds to operate all its
schools according to stand
ards laid down by a Federal
bureau.
For months now, the lobby
lists for Federal aid to educa-
ton and the politicians who
hope to get votes through
promised increases in teach
ers' salaries have been deny
ing that any form of FEEDER
al control of education would
be involved in current pro-
poSals for financial aid to
State schools. But now it
turns out that, without any
specific right granted
through existing law, an ex-
ecutive order could be issued
or a court decree sought

President Kennedy may
have dealt a fatal blow to the
movement to obtain money
from the Federal Government
to subSidize public schools.
He has just demanded that
the legislature of a sovereign
State - Virginia - be COM
PEELED to take punitive action
against a single county for,
failing to open its schools
or else abandon the whole
public-sch ool system
throughout the State. In
view Of this development, will
Congress now take a chance
and appropriate money that
gives a bureau in Washing
ton potential power over the
operation of the public
schools throughout the
United States?
To tell a State how 1t must
appropriate it's funds, how
it shall set up it's own system
of education, and what steps
it must take to satisfy the
Federal Governments de-
mands is unprecedented in
American history. Yet this,
in effect, is the authority
sought by the Department Of
Justice. with the approval Of
the President, in applying to
a Federal court for an order
against the State Of Virginia.
The step is far-reaching.
1t could mean that in the
future the Federal Govern
ment could even tell a State
it must have a uniform SyS-
TEN of government applying
to every county or city. 1t
so happens that the State
of Virginia permits its coun-
ties and independent cities
to adopt, as they choose,
various forms of executive
management or control by
boards Of supervisors elected
by the people. But, under
the theory just applied by the
United States Department of
Justice, the counties and
municipalities would not be
permitted to have their own
forms of local government,

Presidents Supporting Troops

The President sought relaxa-
ton with old friends; his
party politics was conducted
at arms length. Congress,
after the Rules fight was
narrowly won, has drifted.
The real test is now about
to begin.

I want to talk about our
common responsibilities in the
face Of a common challenge.
The events of recent weeks
may have helped to illumine
that challenge for some; but
the dimensions of its threat
have long loomed this large
on our horizon.
This deadly challenge i'm
poses upon our society two re-
quirements of direct concern to
both the press and the Presi-
dent-two requirements that
may seem almost contradictory
in tone, but which must be
reconciled and fulfilled if we
are to meet this national peril.
I refer, first. to the need for
far greater public information;
and second, to the need for far
greater official secrecy.

Question of Restraint

The very word secrecy" is
repugnant in a free and open
republic; and We are as a
people inherently and histori-
cally opposed to secret societies,
to secret oaths and to secret
proceedings. We decided long
ago that the dangers of exces-
Sive and unwarTanted conceal
ment Of pertinent facts far
outweighed the dangers which
are cited to justify it. Even
today, there is little value in
opposing the threat of a closed
society by initiating it's arbi-
trary restrictions. Even today,
there is little value in insuring
the survival Of our Nation If
our traditions do not survive
with it. And there is very grave
danger that an announced need
for increased security will be
seized upon by those anxious
to expand its meaning to the
very limits Of official censor
ship and concealment.
That do not intend to per-
nit. And no official of my
administration, whether his
rank is high or low, civilian or
military, should interpret my
words here tonight as an excuse
to censor the news, to stifle
dissent, to cover up our mis-
takes or to withhold from the
press and the public the facts
they deserve to know.
Security Supersedes Rights
But I do ask every publisher,
every editor, and every news
man in the Nation to re-
examine his own standards,
and to recognize the nature Of
our country's peril. In time of
war. the Government and the
press have customarily joined
in an effort, based largely on
self-discipline, to prevent un-
authorized disclosures to the
enemy. In time Of "clear and
present danger" the courts
have held that even the privi-
legged rights of the. First
Amendment must yield to the
public's need for national
security.
Today no war has been de-
clared-and however fierce the
struggle, 1t may never be de-
clared In traditional fashion,
Our way of life is under attack
Those who make themselves
our enemy are advancing
around the globe. The survival
Of our friends is in danger. And
yet no war has been declared
no borders have been crossed
no missiles have been fired.
A Change in Tactics
If the press is awaiting q
declaration of war before il
imposes the self-discipline o1
combat conditions. then I car
only say that no war ever posed
a greater threat to our security
If you are awaiting a finding
Of "clear and present danger,
then I can only say that the
danger has never been more
