Transcription - Full
We have to prepare for automation when one machine takes the place of five men. What's going to happen to those five men? Men with good education, advanced education, are in great demand. Those that have not had the benefit of that education, they're the ones that are hard hit. We have to make it possible for all of our children to be well educated. Nearly 35% of our brightest boys and girls never see the inside of a college classroom. That's a waste of a national resource and a great waste of an individual resource. Education, studies and careful research on automation to make it fruitful rather than harmful. Vocational retraining, recognizing that this is a land of opportunity and we have to make sure that that opportunity is shared by all of our fellow citizens. I can assure you that if we are successful in this election, we're going to go to work. We're going to start this country moving again. For leadership in the 60s, vote for John F. Kennedy for president. For more information, visit www.fema.gov
