-2- 5. It was clear that we needed a fundamentally new approach, and the program I hope to propose will put us in a completely different aid posture: - - We will propose a new security assistance program in support of the Nixon Doctrine. - - We will provide our assistance in a truly international framework, based on the initiatives of the lower income countries themselves and increasingly channeled through multilateral lending agencies. - - Recognizing the impressive progress made by many of the lower income countries, we will provide our assistance on a business like basis. - - We will insist that the other industrialized countries do their fair share in providing development assistance. - - We will recognize the limitations on what can be accomplished by our aid, particularly in the short run. - - We will asure a meaningful role for trade and private invest- ment, to hasten the day when we can curtail concessional aid recognizing budgetary constraints on Government assistance over the next few years. 7. I know there will be controversy over some of these pro- posals and that is why I plan to submit them now - - several months before transmitting draft legislation to implement a new aid program. I hope you will give me your broad views today and after studying the Message next week will share your more detailed recommendations with me SO they may be considered before the draft bills are submitted.
