Fresh Water Challenge and Conservation Imperatives
The nation faces a serious fresh water shortage as rainfall varies by region and year. Consumption climbs toward 900 billion gallons daily by 2000, with pollution and waste increasing costs. Private land stewardship through soil conservation can curb erosion, reduce river pollution, prevent reservoir silting, and support upstream water programs across thousands of watersheds.
President backs National Farm Safety Week

He calls American agriculture the first and most important industry and notes its global role in feeding people and supplying raw materials. He urges farm families to improve safety and reduce farm accidents that kill thousands yearly.
