It is one of the most terrible footnotes to the American epic to see a litle girl of 10 whose teeth have already started to corrode. or a young man whose hands are disfigured from malnutrition. And yet this is what I saw on the numerous field trips I made. For example. on one trip to my own home State of New Jersey. within sight of the Princeton University towers. I saw a migrant labor camp with families gravely underfed and malnourished. The real strength of our country is in the health. intelligence. and skill of our citizens. If we are willing to spend billions for defense. we must recognize that no better defense expenditure can be made than to improve the abilities of the people of this country.
