TEXT OF THE ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO THE
25TH ANNIVERSARY SESSION
OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF THE
UNITED NATIONS
Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, Distinguished Chiefs of State and
Heads of Government, Foreign Ministers and Delegates here assembled:
I am honored to greet the members of the United Nations on behalf of the
United States as we celebrate this organization's 25th Anniversary. On this
historic occasion I wish to pay special tribute to the founders of the United
Nations y- to Secretary General U Thant and to all others who have played
indispensable roles in its success.
In celebrating an anniversary, there is a temptation to recount the accomplish-
ments of the past, to gloss over the difficulties of the present and to speak
in optimistic or even extravagant terms about our hopes for the future.
This is too important a time and too important an occasion for such an approach.
The fate of more than three and a half billion people today rests on the realism
and candor with which we approach the great issues of war and peace, of
security and progress, in this world that together we call home.
So I would like to speak with you today not ritualistically but realistically; not
of impossible dreams, but of possible deeds.
The United Nations was born amid a great upwelling of hope that at last the
better nature of man would triumph. There was hope that Woodrow Wilson's
dream of half a century ago -- that the world's governments would join "in a
permanent league in which they are pledged to use their united power to main-
tain peace by maintaining right and justice" -- would at last be realized. .
Some of those early hopes have been realized. Some have not.
The UN has achieved many successes in settling or averting conflicts.
The UN has achieved many successes in promoting economic development and
in fostering other areas of international cooperation, thanks to the work of
dedicated men and women all over the world.
These are matters that all the members of the United Nations can point to with
great pride.
But we also know that the world today is not what the founders of the UN hoped
for twentyt-five years ago. Cooperation among nations leaves much to be
desired. The goal of the peaceful settlement of disputes is too often breached.
The great central issue of our time -- the question of whether the world as a
whole is to live at peace -- has not been resolved.

This central issue turns in large part on the relations among the great nuclear
powers. Their strength imposes on them special responsibilities of restraint
and vision. The issue of war and peace cannot be solved unless we in the
United States and the Soviet Union demonstrate both the will and the capacity
to put our relationship on a basis consistent with the aspirations of mankind.
Commenting here today on US-Soviet relationships, I see no point in responding
in kind to traditional cold war rhetoric. The facts of the recent past speak for
themselves. An effort to score debating points is not the way to advance the
cause of peace.
In fact one of the paramount problems of our time is that we must transcend
the old patterns of power politics in which nations sought to exploit every volatile
situation for their own advantage, or to squeeze the maximum advantage for
themselves out of every negotiation.
In todayts world, and especially where the nuclear powers are involved, such
policies invite the risk of confrontations that could spell disaster for all.
The changes in the world since World War II have made more compelling than
ever the central idea behind the United Nations: that individual nations must
be ready at last to take a far-sighted and generous view. The profoundest
national interest of our time - for every nation - is not immediate gain, but the
preservation of peace.
One of the reasons the world had such high hopes for the United Nations at the
time of its founding was that the United States and the Soviet Union had fought
together as allies in World War II, and cooperated in bringing the UN into
being. There were hopes that this cooperation would continue.
It did not continue, and many of the world's -- and the UN's -- most grievous
troubles since have stemmed from that fact of history.
It is not my intention to point fingers of blame, but simply to discuss the facts
of international life as they are.
We all must recognize that the United States and the Soviet Union have very
profound and fundamental differences.
It would not be realistic, therefore, to suggest that our differences can be
eliminated merely by better personal relationships between the heads of our
governments. Such a view would slight the seriousness of our disagreements.
Genuine progress in our relations calls for specifics, not merely atmospherics.
A true detente is built by a series of actions, not by a superficial shift in the
apparent mood.
It would not be realistic to suggest that all we need to improve our relations is
"better mutual understanding."
Understanding is necessary. But we do understand one another well enough to
know that our differences are real, and that in many respects we will continue
to be competitors. Our task is to keep that competition peaceful and to make
it creative.
Neither would it be realistic to deny that power has a role in our relations.
Power is a fact of international life. Our mutual obligation is to discipline that
power, and to seek together with other nations to,,ensure that it is used to main-
tain the peace rathei than to threaten-.the peace.

I state these obstacles to peace because they are the challenge that must be
overcome.
Despite the deep differences between ourselves and the Soviet Union, there
are four great factors that provide a basis for a common interest in working
together to contain and reduce those differences.
The first of these factors is at once the most important and the most obvious.
Neither of us wants a nuclear exchange that would cost the lives of tens of
millions of people. Thus, we have a powerful common interest in avoiding a
nuclear confrontation.
The second of these factors is the enormous cost of arms. Certainly we both
should welcome the opportunity to reduce that burden, and to use our resources
for building rather than destroying.
The third factor is that we both are major industrial powers, which at present
have very little trade or commercial contact with one another. It would
clearly be in the economic self-interest of each of us if world conditions
would permit us to increase that trade and contact.
The fourth factor is the global challenge of economic and social development.
The pressing economic and social needs a ound the world cast give our
competition a creative direction.
Thus, in these four n-atters, we have substantial mutual incentives to find
ways of working together despite our continuing differences of views.
It was in this spirit that I announced, on taking office, that the policy of the
United States would be to move from an era of confrontation to an era of
negotiation.
This is the spirit that we hope will dominate the talks between our two countries
on the limitation of strategic arms.
There is no greater contribution which the United States and the Soviet Union
together could make than to limit the world's capacity for self-destruction.
This would reduce the danger of war. It would enable us to devote more of
our resources -- abroad as well as at home -- to assisting in the constructive
works of economic development and peaceful progress: in Africa, where so
many nations have gained independence and dignity during the life of the United
Nations. In Asia, with its rich diversity of cultures and peoples. And in
Latin America, where the United States has special bonds of friendship and
cooperation.
Despite our many differences, the United States and the Soviet Union have
managed ever since World War II to avoid direct conflicts. But history
shows -- as the tragic experience of World War I indicates -- that great
powers can be drawn into conflict without their intending it by wars between
smaller nations.
The Middle East is a place today where local rivalries are intense, and
where the vital interests of the United States and the Soviet Union are both
involved. Quite obviously, the primary responsibility for achieving a peaceful
settlement rests on the nations of the Middle East themselves. But in this
region in particular, it is imperative that the two major powers conduct
themselves so as to strengthen the forces of peace rather than to strengthen
the forces of war.

It is essential that we and the Soviet Union join in efforts toward avoiding
war in the Middle East, and also toward developing a climate in which the
nations of the Middle East will learn to live and let live. It is essential not
only in the interest of the people of the Middle East themselves, but also
because the alternative could be a confrontation with disastrous consequences
for the Middle East, for our own nations, and for the world.
Therefore, we urge the continuation of the ceasefire and the creation of
confidence in which peace efforts can go forward.
In the world today we are at a crossroads. We can follow the old way,
playing the traditional game of international relations, but at ever-increasing
risk. Everyone will lose and no one will gain. Or we can take a new road.
I invite the leaders of the Soviet Union to join us in taking that new road -- to
join in a peaceful competition, not in the accumulation of arms but in the
dissemination of progress; not in the building of missiles but in waging a
winning war against hunger and disease and human misery in our own countries
and around the globe.
Let us compete in elevating the human spirit, in fostering respect for law
among nations and in promoting the works of peace. In this kind of competition,
no one loses and everyone benefits.
Here at the United Nations, there are many matters of major and immediate
and global concern on which nations even when they are competitors have a
mutual interest in working together as part of the community of nations.
In approaching these matters each of us, in our national interest as leaders,
and in our self-interest as human beings, must take into consideration a
broader element: "The World Interest."
1. It is in the world interest to avoid drifting into a widening division between
have and have-not nations.
Last month I proposed a major transformation of the American foreign aid
program. A major thrust of my proposals is to place larger shares of
American assistance under international agencies, in particular the World Bank,
the UN Development Program, and the Regional Development Banks. We seek
to promote greater multilateral cooperation and the pooling of contributions
through impartial international bodies. We are also encouraging developing
countries to participate more fully in the determination of their needs. Within
the Inter-American system, for example, new mechanisms have been established
for a continuing and frank dialogue.
In the spirit of the UN's second development decade, we shall strive to do our
full and fair share in helping others to help themselves -- through government
assistance, through encouraging efforts by private industry and through
fostering a spirit of international volunteer service.
2. It is in the world interest for the United Nations not to be paralyzed in its
most important function, that of keeping the peace.
Disagreements between the major powers in the past have contributed to this
paralysis. The United States will do everything it can to help develop and
strengthen the practical means that will enable the United Nations to move
decisively to keep the peace. This means strengthening both its capacity for
peacemaking, or settling disputes before they lead to armed conflict,and its
capacity for peacekeeping, containing and ending conflicts that have broken out.
3. It is in the world interest that we cooperate in preserving and restoring our
natural environment.
Pollution knows no national or ideological boundaries. FForr example, it has

it puts Lake Tanganyika in future jeopardy. The UN is uniquely equipped to
play a central role in an international effort to curtail its ravages.
4. It is in the world interest for the resources of the sea to be used for the
benefit of all -- and not to become a source of international conflict, pollution,
and unbridled commercial rivalry.
Technology is ready to tap the vast, largely virgin resources of the oceans. At
this moment, we have the opportunity to set up rules and institutions to ensure
that these resources are developed for the benefit of all mankind and that the
resources derived from them are shared equitably. But this moment is fleeting.
If we fail to seize it, storm and strife could become the future of the oceans.
This summer the United States submitted a draft United Nations convention on
this matter which I hope will receive early and favorable attention.
5. It is in the world interest to ensure that the uantit of life does not im air
the quality of life.
As the UN enters its second development decade, it has both the responsibility
and means to help nations control the population explosion which so impedes
meaningful economic growth. The United States will continue to support the
rapid development of UN services to assist the population and family planning
programs of member nations.
f,. It is in the world interest that the narcotics traffic be curbed.
Drugs pollute the minds and bodies of our young, bringing misery, violence and
human and economic waste. This scourge of drugs can be eliminated through
international cooperation. I urge all governments to support the recent
recommendations of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, and to take the
first step toward giving them substance by establishing a United Nations Fund
for Drug Control. I urge all governments to support a strengthened narcotics
treaty that would govern all production by restricting it solely to medical and
scientific purposes. The United States has already circulated such a proposal
for consideration at the next session of the UN Narcotics Commission.
7. It is in the world interest to put a decisive end to sk irac and the
kidnapping and murder of diplomats.
In this assembly last year, I called for international action to put an end to air
piracy. This problem has since grown even more acute. Recent events have
dramatically underscored its gravity and the fact that no nation is immune. The
United States has taken a number of steps on its own initiative. But this issue
requires effective international actions, including measures to permit the
suspension of airline services to countries where such piracy is condoned.
The increase of kidnappings of accredited diplomats is a closely related matter
that should urgently concern every member of this Assembly.
8. Finally, it is in the world interest to ensure that the human rights of
prisoners-of-War are not violated.
In an address earlier this month proposing a ceasefire in Indochina, I called for
the immediate and unconditional release by both sides of prisoners-of-war and
innocent victims of the conflict. This is not a political or a military issue. It
is a humanitarian issue. The United Nations should register its concern about
the treatment of prisoners-of-war and press all adversaries in this conflict,
indeed in every conflict, to honor the Geneva Convention.
I have mentioned some of the problems on which the United Nations can -- if its
members have the will -- make substantial progress. There are many others.
I urge this body, and the UN system, to move ahead rapidly with effective action.
The United States will do its full share.

We shall not be so pious or so hypocritical as to pretend that we have not
made mistakes, or that we have no national interests of our own which we intend
to protect,
But we can with complete honesty say that we maintain our strength to keep the
peace, and not to threaten the peace. The power of the United States will be
used to defend freedom, and never to destroy freedom,
What we seek is not a Pax Americana; not an American Century; but rather a
structure of stability and progress that will enable each nation to chart its own
course and to make its own way without outside interference, without intimidation,
without domination by ourselves or by any other power. The United States fully
understands and respects the policy of non-alignment, and welcomes joint
efforts, such as the recent meeting in Lusaka, to further international cooperation.
We seek good relations with all the people of the world. We respect the right
of each people to choose its own way.
We do hold certain principles to be universal:
That each nation has a sovereign right to its own independence and to
recognition of its own dignity.
That each individual has a human right to that same recognition of his dignity.
-- That we all share a common obligation to demottrate the mutual respect
for the rights and feelings of one another that is the mark of a civil society
and also of a true community of nations.
As the United Nations begins its next quarter century, it does so richer in
experience and sobered in its understanding of what it can do and what it
cannot; what should be expected and what should not.
In the spirit of this 25th Anniversary, the United. States will go the extra mile
in doing our part toward making the UN succeed. We look forward to working
together with all nations represented here in going beyond the mere containment
of crises to build a structure of peace that promotes justice as well as assuring
stability, and that will last because all have a stake in its lasting.
I remember vividly my visit to India in 1953 when I met for the first time one of
the world's greatest statesmen, Prime Minister Nehru. I asked him, as he
considered that great country, with all its enormous problems, what did he
judge its greatest need? He replied: "The greatest need for my country, and
for every newly independent country, is for 25 years of peace _.. for a generation
of peace. "
--
In Africa, in Asia, in Latin America, in Western Europe, in Eastern Europe
in all the seventy-four nations I now have visited -- one thing I have found is
that whatever their differences of race or religion or political systems, whatever
their customs, whatever their condition, the people of the world want peace.
So let the guns fall silent and stay silent.
In Southeast Asia let us agree to a ceasefire and negotiate a peace.
In the Middle East let us hold to the ceasefire and build a peace.
Through arms control agreements, let us invest our resources in the
development that nourishes peace.
Across this planet let us attack the ills that threaten peace.

In the untapped oceans of water and space let us harvest in peace.
In our personal relations and in our international relations let us display the
mutual respect that fosters peace.
Above all, let us, as leaders of the world, reflect in our actions what our own
people feel. Let us do what our own people need. Let us consider the world
interest -- the people's interest -- in all that we do.
Since the birth of the United. Nations -- for the first time in this century --
the world's people have lived through twenty-five years without a world war.
Let us resolve together that the second quarter century of the United Nations
shall offer the world what its people yearn for, and what they deserve: a world
without any war, a full generation of peace.

2 6 JUN 1970
The Honorable Robert P. Mayo
Director, Bureau of the Budget
Washington, D. C. 20503
Dear Bob:
This letter is in response to the President's memorandum of
May 25, 1970, calling for the initiation of an intensive program
evaluation effort, with a report to be submitted to you by July 1, 1970.
The President's memorandum was received at the peak of this
Agency's annual activity involving detailed hearings and examinations
of all our functions and culminating in the preparation of a series of
Program Memoranda for the Bureau's subsequent review in September.
I believe the Bureau is familiar with this Agency's early (1964) recogni-
tion of the merits of the planning, programming, and budgeting system
(PPBS) and the fact that we now have six years of successively refined
experience in this management technique. Particularly during the past
two years, we have taken full advantage of the PPBS to enforce maximum
economy In our operations and to insure that those resources ultimately
allocated to the Agency in the course of the budget process were utilized
in the most effective manner possible.
During the current PPB cycle Involving in-house assessments of
projected needs for Fiscal Year 1972, proposals aggregating many
millions of dollars over the 1971 level were introduced for top-level
managerial consideration. After weeks of careful consultations --
thinking through our alternatives and testing our judgments -- we are
now putting Into final form a budget request which I feel will be in
consonance with present-day fiscal austerities and at the same time
will allow for the successful accomplishment of pared down, essential
missions. Reaching this lower level from the initial proposals in a
meaningful and responsible manner patently requires a very thorough
evaluation of both ongoing activities and new contenders. This has been
done.

In addition to these formalized, annual procedures, we frequently
convene special review panels to approach some key problem from
several different angles of vision, with the goal being an objective
analysis across the broadest possible spectrum. A recent case in
point was a far-ranging study of the prospects and possibilities for this
Agency's use of space satellites in the oncoming decade. The attack on
this problem -- with its obvious heavy overtones for resource application
-- was led by our Assistant Deputy Director for Science and Technology,
with both user and operator interests fully represented.
Since personnel costs account for almost half of our total expendi-
tures, we have concentrated a great deal of senior management attention
on the question of size and deployment of manpower assets. The personnel
reductions we are now implementing will result a year hence in the Agency's
being at its lowest strength level in ten years. During my tenure as
25X1 Director there will have been eliminated and another
(for new activities) absorbed from within.
25X1
I believe that the Agency's current system of management reflects
not only a capability for timely response to changing national policy
but also the flexibility to translate these changes simultaneously into
fiscal terms. In past years a very large Investment of Agency resources
has been required to carry out our assigned tasks In Southeast Asia.
For Instance, commitments in Vietnam alone were requiring 10-12% of
our total dollars in the 1967-1968 period. In keeping with the national
policy of Vietnamization, we plan on halvin that investment in 1971-1972.
This is to be achieved by orderly disengagement from large, subsidy-type
operations, such as support of the Provincial Reconnaissance Units and of
the Special Police Program, and by closing out completely our participation
in other projects, such as the Static Census Grievance and the Rural
Development Cadre,
One of the principal points in the President's memorandum dealt with
the possible need for a change in laws or administrative procedures to
accomplish the Presidential objective of maximum economy in Federal
programs. We were unable to identify any areas wherein new legislative
initiatives might make a substantial contribution to the efficacy of Agency
operations. Existing legislation is sufficiently broad as to allow ample
flexibility to make needed changes. With regard to Executive Orders,
administrative regulations, and the like, existing procedures seem
sufficient to bring about alterations as they are required.

Contributing to the overview of the Agency is, of course, the
President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. The 40 Committee
also scrutinizes the Agency's sensitive covert action undertakings at
least annually. These kinds of mechanisms, then, exist now -- without
need for further executive action.
As to the future, the Agency plans to proceed along the lines we
have developed in the past which have shown good results and to refine
still further our capabilities for program evaluation. We look forward
to working with the newly constituted Office of Management and.Budget
in the coming years to insure that we continue to meet the President's
objective of having good programs which are fully deserving of the
taxpayers' dollar.

At the present time, the Council is seeking information
relative to employee programs of physical fitness
operated in Federal agencies.
Would you please have an appropriate member of your
staff contact Mr. Glenn Swengros, Director of Program
Development for the Council, to apprise him of physical
fitness programs, if any, in operation or planned for

HEADS OF ALL DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
SUBJECT: Presidential Directive on Attendance at October
Revolution Anniversary Celebration at Soviet Embassy
In view of the continued unwarranted detention by Soviet authorities of
the crew and passengers of a light aircraft which inadvertently landed
on Soviet territory last month, including three officers of the US
Armed Forces, the President considers it inappropriate this year for
any Presidential appointee or any other member of the Executive Branch
of equivalent rank to attend parties at Soviet Embassies and Missions
observing the Anniversary of the October Revolution.
Heads of Departments and Agencies should ensure that attendance at
such parties by their subordinates be (a) limited in number and (b) con-
fined to officials of middle-level rank.
Heads of Departments and Agencies which do not normally have business
with the Soviet Government or its organizations should ensure that no
members of their Departments or Agencies attend such parties.
While it is not intended to volunteer a public statement explaining the
above measures, the following statement may be made in response to
questions:
"In view of the unwarranted detention of the crew and passengers of
a light American aircraft by Soviet authorities, including three
officers of the Armed Services of the United States, it is not deemed
appropriate this year for American officials to accept the hospitality
of the Soviet Government on the occasion of the November celebration.
This was a decision taken at the highest level. "
The above actions will not be taken if the Soviets should release the crew
and passengers of the US aircraft before the parties in questkn occur.

THE FUEL SITUATION FOR THE WINTER OF 1970-71
Last May, in anticipation of the tight electric power supply in some
o-is of the United States this summer, the Interagency Power and
cr y Committee convened by the Office of Emergency Preparedness

the electric utility industry, consumers, and the appropriate agencies

The power supply problems in the. East occurred as anticipated

c1f but assisted by federal actions -- enabled the general public to
continue to be served. We have had difficulties this summer, and as
recently as last week, but considering the magnitude of the problem and
the potential for truly disastrous consequences, the contingency, planning
has worked well.

We have continued to study the energy supply situation and find that
winter approaches the nation faces a potential shortage in the supplies
natural gas, residual fuel oil and bituminous coal. The potential
ortage appears to be more serious in some regions of the country than
others, but no section is completely 111-1 mane from concern.
i'he. prospect of an energy shortage arises for many reasons. Demand
ur energy continues to grow more rapidly than in previous years. And the
d;rnand for clean fuels to meet air pollution controls has placed extra-
c: dingy demands on natural gas and low sulfur oil and coal. Some coal
ctockpiles are lower than normal and some electric utilities are unable
- 'Id up their inventories, in part because of railroad transport
cleficiencies. A sharp rise in the worldwide demand for residual fuel oil,
especially low sulfur oil, and a shortage of oil tankers caused in part by
production cutbacks in Libya and interruptions of an oil pipeline in Syria,
have contributed to the tightness in U. S. fuel oil supply. Increased demand
and. inadequate, exploration and development for natural gas are contributing
to its scarcity. Nuclear power plants under construction as a source of
c:iectric power are behind schedule and this results in greater demands
for fossil fuels.
To avert the threatened shortages and minimize their impact will

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
Subject: Improving Federal Reporting and Reducing
Related Paperwork
Since my inauguration, I have repeatedly stressed the
need to streamline the management activities of the
executive branch. As an important part of this effort,
I am requesting all agencies and departments to partici-
pate in a Government-wide project to analyze paperwork
requirements and discard those reports that fail to meet
rigorous standards of need. In addition, we must examine
our information control system and develop efficient
alternatives to traditional reporting methods.
I have therefore established two goals for fiscal year
1971:
(1) A reduction of five million man-hours in
the time expended by the public in filling
out administrative forms and inquiries
under the Federal Reports Act.
(2) A reduction of 200 million dollars in
executive branch funds expended for report-
ing and related paperwork.
The _.Of.f?ce--of.....Manageme.nt and Budget? has issued, instruc-
tions to you implementing this project. Mr. Kunzig,
Administrator, General Services Administration, will
assume the lead in coordinating this project.
I expect all of you to give this effort your full support
and to report your accomplishments to me by the end of
fiscal year 1971. .

I am sorry that the certificates conem:orating
the Vice President's trip to the Far East earlier this
year were not satisfactory. W. shall be glad to rerun
and I have asked our Printing Services people
in touch with Mr. Fox so that we can be sure
that they are done in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.

Colonel L. K. White
Executive Director- Comptroller
Agency Headquarters Building
July 28, 1970
At the request of the State Department, your printing
shop made up some certificates commemorating the Vice Presi-
dent's trip to the Far East earlier this year. This project has
been long delayed and plagued with problems, and unfortunately
the current version of the certificate contains so many inaccura-
cies that we cannot use it.
If I had had a chance to see a proof, I am confident we
could have made corrections before the final run was made. How-
ever, a representative from State undertook to approve the certif-
icate on his own, and we are now faced with the problem of either
doing it over or scrapping the project entirely. We therefore
wonder if your people would be willing to rerun the certificate,
based on the improved and corrected art work which has been
noted on the enclosed certificate.
If there are further questions, I suggest they be directed
to Mr. Sanford Fox in the White House Social Office (456-2510),
who has kindly agreed to monitor the rerun on this certificate.
Many thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kent B. Crane

Vice President

MEMORANDUM FOR
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS
SUBJECT: Revenue Sharing
This Administration came to office at a time when many Americans
were frustrated (often justifiably) with the performance of existing
governmental institutions. We have, therefore, proposed basic
changes in the domestic policies of the Federal Government. The
Administration's new domestic policies, taken together, constitute
a strong effort to reform major program systems, renew our feder-
alism, and strengthen the capacity of governmental institutions -- at
the national, State and local levels.
Last August, I submitted to the Congress a proposal for sharing a
portion of Federal revenues with State and local governments. This
innovative program is designed to extend Federal assistance to these
governments in a broader, fairer, and less conditional manner.
Over the years this mechanism will have a substantial economic and
political effect on our Federal system.
The arguments in favor of revenue sharing are as strong as ever:
1. We have a serious "fiscal mismatch. " The Federal
government has the superior revenue-generating sys-
tem. The other levels of government have the major
domestic expenditure requirements. The Federal
government has long recognized this discontinuity
between public needs and resources. So far, we have
chosen to bridge the gap through the mechanism of
categorical grants-in-aid to State and local governments.
Next year, nearly $28 billion will be spread over 500
separate and uncoordinated aid categories.

2. We need to design better systems for delivering
Federal program assistance and better methods
of fiscal assistance. Revenue sharing represents
a valuable and necessary supplement to our exist-
ing financial assistance efforts. Increased resources
and additional decision-making responsibility will be
transferred to States and localities. Local discretion
and flexibility will be encouraged. Citizen discontent
over the inability of the Federal government to deliver
services effectively provides strong incentive to de-
centralize some governmental decision-making.
3. The revenue capacity of State and local government is
severely strained -- despite their considerable efforts.
During the 1960s, the States made over 300 increases
in major taxes, either enacting new taxes or raising
rates on existing ones. Property taxes are very high
in many areas. These governments need financial help.
The simplest, most direct, and fairest way to provide
that help is through revenue sharing.
4. Adequate provisign of basic public services is a matter
of high national priority. Revenue sharing is directly
responsive to this need. We look to our States and
localities to provide these services, and revenue sharing
funds represent vital support for our domestic programs.
5. Americans not only are frustrated with the performance
of governmental institutions, but also with the unrespon?
siveness of these institutions to local concerns. The
individual citizen can have the largest impact on public
policy through his State and local governments. By
strengthening these governments, revenue sharing can
enhance individual contributions to public decision-
making. Through revenue sharing an important measure
of political power is returned to the people.
I want to emphasize the importance of revenue sharing in our total
domestic policy. Revenue sharing is the financial heart of the New
Federalism. r

Under the New Federalism, major aims are to define more clearly
functional responsibilities among levels of government and strengthen
governmental institutions at all levels. Welfare, for example, is
appropriately a national responsibility. In addition to providing
equity and dignity for the poor, the Family Assistance Act will
relieve State and local governments of rapidly rising costs for
welfare.
In areas which are primarily State-local. responsibilities, revenue
sharing and other measures which the Administration has advanced
will strengthen the capacity of States and localities to make decisions
which reflect their own priorities and needs.
In the first full year of the Family Assistance Program, fiscal relief
for states and localities will be nearly $600 million, in addition to the
currently estimated revenue sharing program of $1 billion.
I encourage all of you to become familiar with the basic elements of
the Administration's revenue sharing proposal and to make known, at
every suitable occasion, our strong desire to secure its enactment in
1970. A very brief description of revenue sharing, along with major
questions and answers, is enclosed.

In his May 20, 1970 message to the Congress on the prevention
of oil spills, the President stated that, "A large number of oil
spills occur in waters close to our shores. Many of these
spills result from willful violations of laws which limit the dis-
charging of oil. Such spills can be reduced by more stringent
surveillance procedures. All government agencies are being
directed to instruct their vessel and aircraft commanders and
other personnel to immediately report all oil spills to the Coast
Guard."
Please ensure that this instruction is fully complied with by the
personnel in your organization.

zy budget for Fiscal Year 1971 and in my Federal Economy Act
Message, I have taken or have requested of the Congress 57 specific
actions to save money by reducing, terminating or restructuring
Federal programs. These actions were necessary because of our
--_inent budgetary position and because we regard it as our respon-
sibility to make the best possible use of every tax dollar.
:very Federal program -- including those of very low priority -- is
o~ special concern to some special interest group. Such groues are
c~v resin ing our economy actions even though these actions are
c ;_,:arly i:z the interest of the genr.ral public. As I said in my March 19
_. or, ndunt to you, each department and agency must now do all it
ti ni :'Ce a strong, cogent case for the Administration's CCOI:Onny
:. sores -- both to the public and to the Congress. We must exert
at least as much -- and sometimes even more -- effort to save the
Taxpayer's money as we do to spend it.
o make the most effective possible use of every tax dollar, we must
also institute a vigorous examination of every current program --
and small -- to uncover those which can and should be modified
or eliminated by executive action, and those which should be altered
by the Congress.
Program evaluation is one of your most important responsibilities and
is key to this effort. As the President's Advisory Council on Executive
Organization has emphasized, each agency must continually evaluate
its own internal programs while the Bureau of the Budget gives special
a:c:ntion to the evaluation of .interagency programs. In addition, the
Bureau of the Budget stands ready to provide your department or agency
with any assistance in systems analysis and program evaluation that you
may need.
