I propose. instead. that we turn away from massive Government programs and immediately begin a program of private aid and personal assistance in the grand American tradition. Charity performed through Government agencies lacks the essential ingredient of personal involvement and personal sacrifice. what we need in America is a return to our Christian principles of voluntary sharing and commitment. Those of our citizens who do not feel motivated to assist the individual Vietnamese refugees who are now on our shores should not be forced to do so through the tax burdenthat. Mr. President. will only add to the feeling of division and resentment.
