President Franklin D. Roosevelt's address on the 200th anniversary of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt addresses a gathering at the 200th anniversary of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. President Roosevelt is the guest of honor at the university's anniversary. The President is flanked by dignitaries, academicians and professors at the university. A large crowd of students gathered for the event. President Roosevelt addresses the crowd on the occasion. He begins by thanking the university for the honor. He says that, instead of having chosen 1740 for the foundation of the university, if the year was 1739, the 200th anniversary would have fallen in an election year. A huge applause from the crowd. The President says that even the period in which the university was founded was a strange period of relapse in the history of civilization of the world since in some lands it had been a custom to burn books of scholars and use government decree to derive morality and culture and education. And how, in the world today, people think clearly of the hard work their predecessors put in to attain the liberty and freedom they enjoy today.

In San Clemente, California U.S. President Nixon talks about the existence of wiretaps during the Kennedy administration.
U.S. President Richard Nixon talks about the role of wiretaps in national security during a press conference in San Clemente, California. A journalist questions the President about his statement regarding the 10 additional wiretaps that could have been initiated by late U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, which would have lead to the discovery of the Oswald plan and thus prevented U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination. The President responds that 10 more wiretaps could have found the conspiracy, if it was a conspiracy in the first place, then it would have been worth it. The President also talks about the high number of wiretaps in the National Security area during the Kennedy administration for national security purposes. The taps on news organizations, news people and civil rights leaders were all justified. The journalist then asks the President if he thought that President Kennedy's assassination threat mattered more to the national security wiretaps. The President does not agree with this and believes that the assassination was a breakdown in the President's security. He also states that he personally does not prefer to have secret service.
