My fellow citizens, my subject tonight is science and national security. Originally, this talk was to be part of one I intend to
make in Oklahoma City next week; however, I found that I could not possibly deal with the subject in just one address. So tonight, I shall concentrate on the most immediate aspects of this question of the relationship of science to the defenses of our country. First, let me tell you what I'm going to do in this talk and in my next. I'm going to lay the facts before you, the rough with the smooth. Some of these security facts are reassuring. Others are not; they are sternly demanding. Some require that we resolutely continue lines of action now well begun. Others require new action, and still others new dimensions of effort. After putting these facts and requirements before you, I shall propose a program of action, a program that will demand the energetic support of not just the government, but every American, if we are to make it successful. First then, some facts about our present security posture. It is one of great strength, but by no means should this assurance satisfy any of us. Our defenses must be adequate not just today, but tomorrow and in all the years to come . . . .

<h3>Eisenhower Administration</h3>
Proposed the National Defense Education Act to increase funding to American education.
Created NASA to match and defeat the Soviets in the space race.
Eisenhower believed that it was important to secure the security of the nation both in the present and the future. To do that, the nation needed to be educated and so the <u>National Defense Education Act</u> was passed. NASA was also created for the same reason.
Explanation: Despite policies of toleration and use of Chinese in the government of Kublai Khan, the Mongols did not want to become Chinese, they kept separate from the Chinese they ruled clinging to their own culture and values, celebrating their traditional festivals and enjoying their feasts.
