Stranica 128 - I am here today speaking on behalf of the National League of Cities and the United States Conference of Mayors.
Stranica 154 - 35, the report of the investigating committee on the Harlem riot of '43, the report of the McCone Commission on the Watts riot. I must again in candor say to you members of this Commission — it is a kind of Alice in Wonderland — with the same moving picture re-shown over and over, again, the same analysis, the same recommendations, and the same inaction.
Stranica 240 - I don't know that it is possible to answer it any more than we could ever find an answer to how many angels could dance on the point of a needle. But these issues are interrelated.
Stranica 153 - American — white or black — can escape the consequences of the continuing social and economic decay of our major cities. Only a commitment to national action on an unprecedented scale can shape a future compatible with the historic ideals of American society. The great productivity of our economy, and a federal revenue system which is highly responsive to economic growth, can provide the resources.
Stranica 152 - To undertake new initiatives and experiments that can change the system of failure and frustration that now dominates the ghetto and weakens our society. These programs will require unprecedented levels of funding and performance, but they neither probe deeper nor demand more than the problems which called them forth. There can be no higher priority for national action and no higher claim on the nation's conscience.
Stranica 154 - The major need is to generate new will— the will to tax ourselves to the extent necessary to meet the vital needs of the nation. We have set forth goals and proposed strategies to reach those goals. We discuss and recommend programs not to commit each of us to specific parts of such programs but to illustrate the type and dimension of action needed.
Stranica 130 - Our recommendations embrace three basic principles: To mount programs on a scale equal to the dimension of the problems; To aim these programs for high impact in the immediate future in order to close the gap between promise and performance; To undertake new initiatives and experiments that can change the system of failure and frustration that now dominates the ghetto and weakens our society.
Stranica 152 - None of us can escape the consequences of the continuing economic and social decay of the central city and the closely related problem of rural poverty.
Stranica 151 - What happened? Why did it happen? What can be done to prevent it from happening again?
Stranica 251 - The Soviets are continuing the rapid deployment of major strategic offensive weapons systems at a rate that could, by the mid-1970's, place us in a secondrate strategic position with regard to the future security of the free world.
