On the recordFebruary 3, 1994
For once, we need to challenge ourselves to do what all of America must do when faced with a crisis within their own family, within their own community; to do what all charitable groups within America do when there is a crisis in any part of America. And that is to pay as we go. In our own family budget, when a crisis hits, we tighten our belts, we make some choices, and we eliminate some of the niceties in our family budget so we can focus on the necessity of the current crisis. When a disaster hits in our community, we stop everything, and all of us join hands to fight that disaster and to help our neighbors in need. We make the sacrifice. When a hurricane hits in Florida, or an earthquake hits in California, or a flood hits in the Midwest, collectively, as Americans, we join together and provide the support needed to bring relief to those who are suffering.
