President Johnson addressed International Conference on World Crisis in Education, Williamsburg, Va.: ". . . I would like to suggest . . . these challenges: How can we use what we already know about educational television to accelerate the pace of basic education for all the children of the world? How can we use modern technology to economize on that most essential and that most needed educational resource: the good teacher?" He added: "If future historians . . . seek, a name for this period in America, I hope they will give consideration to calling it the age of education. If our children's children want to measure what we tried to achieve, I hope they will remember one thing: The American Government in only 3 years multiplied its commitment to education and to health four times over. Congress passed more laws and committed more funds to education and health in the last 3 years than in all previous history." (PD, 10/16/67,1419-23)
