I would like the Board's recommendations concerning necessary actions, including any legislative proposals which may need early attention.
I have recently given considerable attention to the question of the appropriate organization of the executive branch for civil defense.
Early action on these measures is desirable to strengthen this Government's resources for achieving its international objectives.
I appreciate your interest in what is taking place in the Government.
