President Richard M. Nixon helped make the Golden Anniversary of National 4-H Congress in Chicago very special by attending and addressing the entire delegation on December 1, 1971. Most of the entire Presidential press corps accompanied the President to Chicago. He personally presented the Presidential trays to the six Presidential tray winners as Honorary Chairman of the National 4-H Service Committee. In addition to the delegates, leaders, sponsors and other invited guests, some 700 media reps covered the event.

Nixon's speech can be found in its entirety on the 4-H history website section on National 4-H History under the heading: "U.S. Presidents and 4-H."
