I believe that this message offers the means whereby our Nation may provide more and better homes for our families.

It is not enough, therefore, to rehabilitate homes in obsolete neighborhoods.

I also call upon my fellow citizens not only to display the flag of the United States on Armed Forces Day, but also to manifest their recognition of the sacrifice and devotion to duty of the men and women of the armed forces by attending…

I am anxious that Executive Departments and Agencies with responsibilities in the area of foreign economic policy proceed immediately with an intensive review of this report as a first step in the formulation of a unified Administration…

WITH THIS MEMORANDUM, I am transmitting a copy of the Report to the President and the Congress by the Commission on Foreign Economic Policy.

I am confident that, on the basis of the Report, it will be possible to develop a program that will advance the best interests both of the United States and of the free world.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by subsection (f) of section 514 of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947 (61 Stat. 906), as amended (10 U. S. C. 941a), and as President of the United States, it is ordered as follows:

I therefore request that each of you give the fullest cooperation to the Chairman, Mr. Edward F. Bartelt, Fiscal Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in the work of the Committee.

We must restore conditions which will permit traditional American initiative and production genius to push on to ever higher standards of living and employment.

This budget continues the progress that has been made during the past year in reducing both requests for new appropriations and Government expenditures.

The reductions in expenditures already accomplished, together with those now proposed, justify the tax reductions which took effect January 1 and the further tax revisions I am recommending.
