Baroody Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library OF THE UNITED THE OF Cancer Control Month, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The National Cancer Program, representing both Federal agencies and non- Federal organizations, is the most massive undertaking of its kind. Through the Program, established by the National Cancer Act of 1971, and given new vitality by the amendments of 1974, we are continuing to explore the causes and eventual control of cancer. Cancers are being detected earlier, making them more amenable to diagnosis and treatment. Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are making further inroads on cancer and immunotherapy shows bright promise of joining them as a means of treatment. Research findings on the disease are now reaching the prac- ticing physician faster than ever before. Although we can take pride in these accomplishments, current cancer statistics remind us that we cannot be apathetic. It is estimated that 675,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in our country in 1976. That means about 370,000 people will die of the disease. Only through relentless, aggressive support of cancer research and control can we eventually reduce these figures to an absolute minimum. In order to give continuing emphasis to the cancer problem, the Congress, by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148, 36 U.S.C. 150), requested the Presi- dent to issue annually a proclamation designating the month of April as Cancer Control Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1976, as Cancer Control Month, and I invite the Governors of the several States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the United States flag to issue similar proclamations. I also ask the medical and health professions, the communications media, and all other interested persons and groups to unite during this appointed time in public reaffirmation of our Nation's abiding commitment to cancer control. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundredth. Gerall R. Ford OF THE UNITED 3HJ STATES OF Cancer Control Month, 1975 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our intensive effort against cancer, sustained by the constant dedica- tion and determination of scientists, physicians, public officials and private citizens, continues to provide hope and assistance to ever-increasing numbers of Americans. The National Cancer Act of 1971 was a landmark piece of legislation which authorized new Federal support for cancer research. The amend- ments of 1974 have added new emphasis to our National Cancer Pro- gram, especially in the dissemination of the latest scientific findings from the research laboratory and clinic to practicing physicians, cancer pa- tients, and those in particular jeopardy of cancer. Despite this progress, the conquest of cancer will not be easy or quick. Cancer statistics remain depressing. An estimated 665,000 new cases will be diagnosed in 1975. Although we shall ultimately achieve victory over these killer diseases, it requires our unwavering support of cancer research and control. As a means of giving continued emphasis to the cancer problem, the Congress, by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148, 36 U.S.C. 150), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1975, as Cancer Control Month, and I invite the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the United States flag, to issue similar proclamations. To give renewed emphasis to this serious problem, and to encourage the determination of the American people to meet it, I also ask the medical and health professions, the communications media, and all other interested persons and groups to unite in public reaffirmation of our Nation's abiding commitment to control cancer. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 26th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

Baroody Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library\nOF THE UNITED THE\nOF\nCancer Control Month, 1976\nBy the President of the United States of America\nA Proclamation\nThe National Cancer Program, representing both Federal agencies and non-\nFederal organizations, is the most massive undertaking of its kind.\nThrough the Program, established by the National Cancer Act of 1971, and given\nnew vitality by the amendments of 1974, we are continuing to explore the causes and\neventual control of cancer. Cancers are being detected earlier, making them more\namenable to diagnosis and treatment. Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are making\nfurther inroads on cancer and immunotherapy shows bright promise of joining them\nas a means of treatment. Research findings on the disease are now reaching the prac-\nticing physician faster than ever before.\nAlthough we can take pride in these accomplishments, current cancer statistics\nremind us that we cannot be apathetic. It is estimated that 675,000 new cases of cancer\nwill be diagnosed in our country in 1976. That means about 370,000 people will die of\nthe disease. Only through relentless, aggressive support of cancer research and control\ncan we eventually reduce these figures to an absolute minimum.\nIn order to give continuing emphasis to the cancer problem, the Congress, by a\njoint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148, 36 U.S.C. 150), requested the Presi-\ndent to issue annually a proclamation designating the month of April as Cancer\nControl Month.\nNOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of\nAmerica, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1976, as Cancer Control Month, and\nI invite the Governors of the several States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the\nMayor of the District of Columbia, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under\nthe United States flag to issue similar proclamations.\nI also ask the medical and health professions, the communications media, and all\nother interested persons and groups to unite during this appointed time in public\nreaffirmation of our Nation's abiding commitment to cancer control.\nIN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day\nof March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Inde-\npendence of the United States of America the two hundredth.\nGerall R. Ford\nOF THE UNITED 3HJ STATES OF\nCancer Control Month, 1975\nBy the President of the United States of America\nA Proclamation\nOur intensive effort against cancer, sustained by the constant dedica-\ntion and determination of scientists, physicians, public officials and private\ncitizens, continues to provide hope and assistance to ever-increasing\nnumbers of Americans.\nThe National Cancer Act of 1971 was a landmark piece of legislation\nwhich authorized new Federal support for cancer research. The amend-\nments of 1974 have added new emphasis to our National Cancer Pro-\ngram, especially in the dissemination of the latest scientific findings from\nthe research laboratory and clinic to practicing physicians, cancer pa-\ntients, and those in particular jeopardy of cancer.\nDespite this progress, the conquest of cancer will not be easy or quick.\nCancer statistics remain depressing. An estimated 665,000 new cases will\nbe diagnosed in 1975. Although we shall ultimately achieve victory over\nthese killer diseases, it requires our unwavering support of cancer research\nand control.\nAs a means of giving continued emphasis to the cancer problem, the\nCongress, by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148, 36\nU.S.C. 150), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation\nsetting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month.\nNOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R.
