 A:    Good evening, my fellow Americans.  Three days
       from  now,  after  a  half-century  of  service  of  our
       country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of of-
       fice as, in a traditional and solemn ceremony, the
       authority of the Presidency¹ is vested in my suc-
       cessor. This evening I come to you with a mes-
       sage² of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a
       few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.

 A:    Like every other citizen, I wish the new President,
       and all who will labor³ with him, Godspeed.  I pray
       that the coming years will be blessed with peace
       and prosperity for all.
 A:    Our people expect their President and  the
       Congress to find essential agreement on ques-
       tions of great importance, the wise resolution of
       which will better shape the future of our great
        nation. My own relations with Congress began
       on a remote and tenuous⁴ basis when,  long ago,
       a  member of the Senate appointed me to West
        Point. I then had the pleasure of building more in-
       timate relationship with Congress during the war
       and immediate⁵ post-war period.  Finally, we have
        progressed  to  the  mutually  interdependent  rela-
       tionship we’ve had during these past eight years.
