FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APRIL 7, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
TO THE
BOYS' CLUB
"BOY OF THE YEAR" AWARD WINNERS
THE ROSE GARDEN
12:15 P.M. EST
I might say, John, and reiterate what I said to
these boys, that we are proud of them and I think they
should be proud of what they have done. I think all of us
recognize the tremendous job that the Boys' Clubs have done
throughout the country, not only this year but over a long
period of time, some 20 years or more, since the Boy of the
Year program has been initiated.
The added thing is, I am proud to be Honorary
Chairman of the Boy's Club. It is a recognition of my
interest in the organization and my full support for it.
To see these fine young men here coming in and having the
opportunity of getting their awards in the Rose Garden is
a way I think we can build up and expand and further
increase the influence of Boys' Clubs.
I do want to thank also the Reader's Digest Foun-
dation, which I understand sponsors or supports the Boy of
the Year program. Without it, we couldn't have these fine
young men down here getting these awards today.
We thank them, we thank all of you who handle the
programming, and more particularly we congratulate Robert and
the other nine regional participants.
Thank you very much.
END
(AT 12:17 P.M. EST)
