FIRST PLENARY SESSION

It is imperative that this Nation act to preserve now, and for the years ahead, the purity of its air. The pollution of this priceless resource continues to jeopardize the economic vitality of our Nation and the health of millions of our citizens. This fact we can neither condone nor tolerate; we can and must, instead, resolve to use every appropriate means in a concerted effort to clear the air of its burden.

It is my hope that this Conference will provide the wise counsel and informed guidance that will hasten the needed action on this problem. urge every American to lend his full support to this endeavor.

I

JOHN F. KENNEDY
President of the United States
