THE PRESIDENT'S READING COPY NATIONAL CANCER CONFERENCE Los Angeles, California September 28, 1972 I am grateful for your award -- but I am not the one who should be receiving it. I. You, after all, are the frontline soldiers in our fight against cancer. (I) The Government can help to provide resources, but you are the ones who do the work. I know that biomedical research and treatment is a notoriously uncertain enterprise. I. No one can control -- or even predict -- how fast it will go or just where it will lead. (1) But we can control our own contribution to its progress. I. We can be sure this progress is not delayed because of too few resources or too much red tape.
