"The American Red Cross has earned the respect, affection and gratitude of the American people."
"In addition to its aid to the Armed Forces and disaster victims, the Red Cross has continued to provide many other vital services to our nation and our communities."
"The Campaign for Members and Funds is authorized each year within the Executive Departments and Agencies."
"It will be held in March 1966, except in those communities where the Red Cross raises its funds in partnership with United Way and combined campaigns."
