I must, however, call attention to an impending crisis in the handling of the Nation's financial affairs.

They have the new ideas, and they offer the fresh and aggressive leadership that are indispensable to the future of strong and sound government at the State level in this country.

Finally, as I will say a little later at the rally downtown, generally a President does not find it possible to go into all of the contests and all of the campaigns that he would like to.

The victory of Lin Holton and his team of State Senator Buz [H. Dunlop] Dawbarn and Dick [Richard D.] Obenshain will give Virginia exactly the kind of administration it needs in the years ahead.

Forwarded herewith in accordance with the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 1124 are reports of the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation on awards made during the first six months of 1969 to members of the Armed Forces for…

This administration came to power, and we are doing something about it.

This will increase efficiency by facilitating the compilation of the report in conjunction with the Incentive Awards Program report which departments and agencies submit annually to the Civil Service Commission.

LINWOOD HOLTON has my unqualified and enthusiastic support in his campaign to become Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

We have offered the most revolutionary legislation in the history of the Republic in this respect.

It is my hope and expectation that this program will introduce a new era in the maritime history of America, an era in which our shipbuilding and ship operating industries take their place once again among the vigorous, competitive…
