Speaking to the new citizens. he declared that America needs a "bill of responsibilities" outlining the duties and obligations of citizenshipas a kind of parallel to our Bill of Rights. I believe that the 37 new Americans who took the oath in Richmond were fortunate to have had so thoughtful an introduction to citizenship. I feel that the thoughts voiced by Mr. Gunzburg are worth pondering by every American. whether his or her citizenship be by right of birth or by naturalization. Contemplation of our responsibilities will serve well the cause of freedom. As our Bicentennial year approaches. it is particularly appropriate that we consider the responsibilities of every American for the conservation and strengthening of the principles upon which our Nation was founded.
