This is an occasion not merely to note the passage of time but to recognize achievement-and to look ahead toward even greater achievement in the future. For the age of the program in which you are engaged is not a true measure of its worth; the true measure is how well it serves the needs, the hopes, and the aspirations of the people. The first quarter of a century since the passage of the Social Security Act has been a period rich in human progress in this country, and you have been in the main stream of this progress, many of you from its beginnings. All of you, I am sure, have a sense of being part of history still in the making. You are partners in a never-ending effort to improve the economic well-being of the American people. The success of this pioneering program and the warm feeling that Americans everywhere have toward social security is in no small measure a result of the manner in which you have translated law into service and the regard that you have shown-despite the tremendous growth of the program-for the individual and his personal problems. I know that in the years ahead you will continue to bring to your work the same sense of mission and devotion to duty that has been the hallmark of this program from the beginning. ARTHUR S. FLEMMING, Secretary Department of Health, Education & Welfare AUGUST 1960 3 A Message From Director Christgau HIS month marks a point in our history when we Another tradition that has grown over the years is that Tcan stop for a moment and look back on a quarter BOASI is a good place to work; that here we work to- century of accomplishment and the traditions that gether to do a very significant job; and that this is an over the years have become a part of BOASI.

  • Summary of AG-008 United Nations Operation in the Congo (ONUC) (1960-1964)
    Summary of AG-008 United Nations Operation in the Congo (ONUC) (1960-1964) Title United Nations Operation in the Congo (ONUC) (1960-1964) Active Dates 1948-1973 Administrative History The United Nations Operation in the Congo (known by the French acronym ONUC: "Opération des Nations Unies au Congo") was established on 14 July 1960 by Security Council Resolution 143 and dissolved 30 June 1964. The headquarters of the Operation were located in Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) in the Republic of Congo. The initial mandate of ONUC was to ensure the withdrawal of Belgian forces from the Republic of the Congo, to assist the Government in maintaining law and order and to provide technical assistance. The function of ONUC was subsequently modified to include maintaining the territorial integrity and political independence of the Congo, preventing the occurrence of civil war and securing the removal from the Congo of all foreign military, paramilitary and advisory personnel not under the United Nations Command, and all mercenaries. ONUC included, in addition to a peacekeeping force which comprised at its peak strength nearly 20,000 officers and men, an important Civilian Operations component. Originally mandated to provide the Congolese Government with the military and technical assistance it required following the collapse of many essential services and the military intervention by Belgian troops, ONUC became embroiled by the force of circumstances in a chaotic internal situation of extreme complexity and had to assume certain responsibilities which went beyond normal peacekeeping duties. The instructions of the Security Council to this Force were strengthened early in 1961 after the assassination in Katanga province of former Prime Minster Patrice Lumumba.

The Carolina Charter Tercentenary Commission was established by the 1959 General Assembly to develop and execute a program for the celebration of the tercentenary of the Carolina Charter of 1663.1 A commission comprised of twenty-five members was created by the legis­ lature. Twenty-two of the commission ' s members were to be appointed by the governor to serve two-year terms, and the remaining three ex officio members were the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development, and the Director of the Department of Archives and History.2 Of major significance was the commission's decision to broaden • the scope of the tercentenary celebration to encompass the first one hundred years of North Carolina ' s existence.
