    "ocrText": "- 4 -\nBefore introducing your chairman, may I mention one more important\nfact concerning this conference. It has been called, as you know, at the\ndirection of the President, and will provide essential data upon which I\nshall be making our report to him. The report will go forward as quickly\nas possible.\nIt is the Department's intention, as early as possible, to provide\nthe press with appropriate background material. Release to the press and\nthus to the public of the conclusions which we are able to reach and the\nrecommendations themselves will follow in due, and I am sure the earliest,\ncourse.\nGentlemen, I need not remind you that the American people expect\ngreat results from this meeting. Your responsibility is indeed a very\nheavy one. It rests on all of us who have special knowledge with respect\nto this tremendous instrument of good for mankind. Most particularly,\nall of us share in a grave concern about the production and the orderly\nprocedures of distribution, They represent a challenge which I have\nevery belief we can meet and move towards mastering here today.\nNow I should like to introduce to you your chairman, although\nfor most of you this introduction is superfluous. You know him as a\ndistinguished physician, as an educator, and as one who is familiar\nnot only with the medical aspects of our problem, but also with the\n(Q'\nproblem of distribution of new and scarce drugs.\nLadies and gentlemen, I present your chairman, Dr. Chester S.\nKeefer."
