Every newspaper headline makes it clear that
this is a testing time for Americans.
The Cuban crisis is one of a long and con
tinuing series of challenges we face.
At a time of challenge, the American future
depends upon the American people: what we
think, what we do, how we rise as individuals
to the task of meeting great challenge with
great achievement.
We each have a part to play.
Yours is described in the timely new citizen
action guide "Challenge to Americans" of
fered here which puts the crisis of the moment
in the true perspective of the struggle which
is likely to continue for years. The world situa
tion is far more complex than the emergencies of daily headlines.
As President Kennedy says:
"We are challenged by the revolution of communism. The
Communists seek power through conspiracy, terror, aggression
and deceit. They exploit and corrupt legitimate revolutionary
forces, scavenging on poverty, ignorance, despair.
"And also we are challenged by the revolution of hope in con
tinents long captive to stagnation and despair.
"We are challenged by the revolution in science and tech
nology bringing new boons and new dangers to humanity.
"We are challenged by the revolution in international relation
ships. Nation has begun to work with nation to solve mankind's
common problems. New international bodies are exploring un
charted paths of world cooperation in the interests of world
wide peace, justice, and
In an age of revolution,
"We must match great challenges
striving for excellence in all
things. With a mature understand
ing ol the magnitude, complexity,
and probable long duration of the
struggle we tace. Let each of us re
solve to do something extra tor our
country in this period of trial."
President John F. Kennedy

A good way to begin is with a mature understanding of what
we are up against and what you personally can do about it. You
will find exactly that in the timely new booklet, "Challenge to
Americans." Endorsed by Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower,
approved by the Department of State, it is an indispensable
information and action guide for the purposeful citizen.
We need many such citizens. We need them now. We need
you-your value as an individual, your power as the source of
our national strength, your aid in deciding our common future.
Your copy of "Challenge to Americans" is free. You can be
learning from it and you can be acting upon it in a matter of
days. Write CHALLENGE, Box 1776, New York 17, New York.

a continuing, liberating revolution. We dare not
fail to press that revolution forward, to perfect j
democracy at home, to make it an example
to the world. Only in earning our freedoms over
again can we strengthen them. Only by extend
ing our freedoms to all mankind can we pre
serve them.
This we can and must do as individuals. Wa
must accept our responsibilities as we do our
rights, the two are today inseparable, must
look upon national challenge-whether it is an
immediate challenge in Cuba, Berlin, or Asia,
or the continuing longer range challenge-as
a personal opportunity to do something im
portant for our country. We must seek to excel,
NOT A GIFT BUT A TASK
"The important thing is to do some
thing, and nottoexcuseoneselfwith
the thought that 'I can do so little it
will make no dilference.' It does
make a difference. America is people-not
things. If each of us does
his own particular job a little better,
and raises his personal standards a
little higher, our country will gain in
strength and in character."
