Kennedy, President of the United States of America, do hereby call on the people of the Nation to observe the week beginning July 21, 1963, as National Farm Safety Week; and I urge all farm families, and all persons and organizations allied with agriculture, to engage in a purposeful, united effort to reduce further the number of farm, home, and highway accidents.

So the central responsibility, of course, is to try to develop a climate in this country where there is as close to full employment as we can get it, and then to give particular attention to those who are handicapped.

I hope this kind of intimate association, cooperation for the benefit of all of our people, may be extended to other fields.
