Consumer Agency Bill which is pending, and

which is going to directly involve each and
every Cabinet officer. The President said the
bill, if passed, would create serious problems
and each Cabinet member would be sorry that he
had been selected for his position.
The President then talked about the science and technology
Bicentennial display at Cape Canaveral. The President is
placing high priority on it and wants it to be successful.
He has asked Cabinet officers and agencies to assist
monetarily with personnel. Jack Marsh has the lead and is
working closely with NASA and other groups to ensure there
is an energy and technology exposition which will look to
the future. Therefore, the Bicentennial will not be just
a look at the Nation's history and tradition, but also
will project the Country's future.
