We should never relax our efforts to give the American people a dollar's worth of value for a dollar spent.

Buying bonds for our Nation's security is a sure way to express such confidence and I take pride and pleasure in presenting my check for the first $75 bond to the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Dillon.

Our responsibility to our country, as President John Kennedy said, 'is not discharged by an announcement of virtuous ends.'
