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.

At the same time, Red Cross has repeatedly mobilized its resources to help families stricken by major disasters in every part of our nation.

As President of the United States and Honorary Chairman of the American National Red Cross I strongly urge support of the Red Cross Campaign in 1966 by all civilian employees of the Federal Government and members of the Armed Forces.

These efforts on our behalf have critically reduced the financial resources of the organization.

It has mobilized and expanded its staff—and it is doing a magnificent job for our troops on many fronts.

The Campaign for Members and Funds is authorized each year within the Executive Departments and Agencies.

The Red Cross is a symbol of mercy throughout the world.

Red Cross staffs are on duty around the clock to assist our servicemen and their families in Vietnam and here at home.

I urge all Americans to give this voluntary organization their full support for the benefit of all of our citizens.

The Red Cross works for all; it needs the help of all.

Federal standards for the control of automobile exhausts will apply to the 1968 models.

We must take steps to control the damage caused by waters that 'heat-up' after cooling generators and industrial engines.

The Clean Rivers Demonstration Program I recommend has four requirements:

We will need to watch unfolding events closely, and to remain flexible in our tax and other policies so that we can change quickly if the need should arise.

We must remove or control nutrients that cause excessive growth of plant life in streams, lakes and estuaries.

Our prosperity is unequaled; and our growth rate and price stability are the envy of the world.

Federal financial assistance will be necessary if the Clean Rivers Demonstration Program is to succeed.

I know the people are eager and anxious to hear from you.
