FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 18, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
MEMORANDUM FOR:
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND
MILITARY PERSONNEL
The Combined Federal Campaign presents an excellent opportunity
for Federal employees and military personnel to demonstrate their
traditional generosity, concern and compassion for their fellow
citizens.
Many of our citizens and our friends abroad are in need of help.
This year the need is greater than ever before. Through the
United Way, the National Health Agencies, and the International
Service Agencies, we can serve our youth, the aged, the handicapped,
the sick, families in need, and refugees -- but only if we provide
the resources to enable these agencies to carry out their important
work. While individually we cannot help all those in need, working
together through the voluntary charitable organizations we can channel
our concern into meaninful results.
Voluntary charitable organizations are beacons of hope to families
and individuals in distress. They deserve the help we can provide
through the Combined Federal Campaign. By our participation in
the campaign, we can ensure that help is brought quickly and
effectively, wherever it is needed.
While the amount you give is a personal, voluntary decision, I hope
that each of you will join me in supporting the Combined Federal
Campaign to the fullest extent possible.
GERALD R. FORD
