GREETINGS:

JOHN CONNALLY

Governor of Texas

AUSTIN. TEXAS

On October 23, 1966, the free world will mark the tenth anniversary of the Hungarian revolt against Communist tyranny.

Before Soviet tanks and guns again closed the iron curtain over Hungary, the people of this embattled Nation enjoyed brief freedom from the ruthless domination of the police state. They owed this to the courage of the Hungarian Freedom Fighters, and October 23 has become a memorial day in free Europe and the Western Hemisphere for these patriots.

It is fitting that Texans, whose forefathers also fought for freedom, should join in the observance of this anniversary.

THEREFORE, I, as Governor of Texas, do hereby designate October 23, 1-966, as

HUNGARIAN FREEDOM DAY and the period of October 23-November 4, 1966, as

DAYS OF FREE HUNGARY

in Texas.
