"While human values are always our prime consideration, we should not ignore the sound public investment that would result by reducing our public welfare rolls through vocational rehabilitation."
"My January budget forecasts that 215,000 handicapped individuals will be rehabilitated during fiscal year 1967, a 25% increase over the current fiscal year."
"As we plan for the larger program, I believe we should do better than we have in rehabilitating persons who are now on our public welfare rolls."
"By teaching new skills to the handicapped, this program has brought hope and independence to thousands of disabled individuals and their families."
