Remember these ads?
,, We ran them in a lot of college
newspapers last year. Their purpose
was to answer some of the critical
questions students were asking about
our company.
Maybe you saw them. A lot of
students did. And a lot wrote
to us about them. In many cases the
ads triggered additional questions,
. questions so provocative
that we’ve decided to expand our
communications with college
students.
We’re doing it in several ways.
We’ve already started to have
conferences of student opinion
leaders and GE people at our various
plant locations. These conferences
permit deep probing of sticky
questions. They help us to understand
the concerns of students- But they
involve relatively few students and
GE people.
So we’re going to share some of
the questions and answers (like the
ones above) with you by continuing
bur ads in college newspapers.
And well make sure our people
see your questions, too—through
company magazines and plant
newspapers.
We think your concerns are
important. And we think you should
know how seriously we take them.
GENERAL M ELECTRIC
the House, including retaining the
cancer program within the Na
tional Institute of Health.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., and Rep. Paul G. Rogers,
D-Fla., leaders of the legislative
drive, said the compromise retains
the best features of the House
bill and one which had passed
the Senate.
They said they expect the com
promise will have the approval
of President Nixon and the Amer
ican Cancer Society.
Earlier in the day, President
Nixon had sent the conferees
word he would accept either ver
sion of contested sections of the
bill in order “to gain prompt
passage of the legislation.”
The President, in a letter to
Kennedy and eight other senators
who requested his views, said the
differences which still exist “are
largely a matter of detail.”
“It will insure action by pro
viding government and science
with the tools to do the job,”
Kennedy told a reporter follow
ing the closed conference com
mittee session.
“I think everybody will em
brace this bill, including the
President,” Rogers said.
The House’s version passed 350
to 5, while the Senate’s bill had
been approved 79 to 1.
The bill charts a three-year
program aimed at helping science
find the cause and develop a
cure for cancer.
The American Cancer Society
had argued for the Senate’s or
ganizational approach, which was
designed to create an independent
“conquest of cancer agency”
within NIH but give the agency
budgetary freedom and direct ac
cess to the President. The Senate
bill had put no ceiling on funds.
The House’s version was aimed
at expanding the authorities of
the National Cancer Institute and
the NIH to advance the national
attack on cancer, with responsi
bility for coordination of the pro
gram resting with the director
of the National Cancer Institute.

used to good advantage in our
teaching programs.”
