THE VICE PRESIDENT'S HANDBOOK FOR LOCAL OFFICIALS 258 a guide to Federal assistance for local governments OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT НЈ 275 A568 1957 Сор. 2. The solution to these problems does not rest on a massive program in Washington, nor can it rely solely on the strained resources of local authority. They require us to create new concepts of cooperation—a creative federalism between the national capitol and the leaders of local communities. MAY 22, 1964 Federal energy is essential. But it is not enough. Only a total working partnership among Federal, State and local governments can succeed. The test of that partnership will be the concern of each public organization, each private institution, and each responsible citizen. JANUARY 10, 1967 No nation so great as ours can develop the society its people need if the Federal government evades its responsibility. This government has not and will not. But neither can such a nation hope to succeed on the strength of Federal action alone. We began as a nation of localities. And however changed in character those localities become, however urbanized we grow and however high we build, our destiny as a nation will be determined there. MARCH 17, 1967 |
