"Sing With the Earth" Newsletter

     On September 5, 1978, President Carter appointed John to 
the Presidential Commission on hunger. This is a commission 
which has been set up for a two year period and is to be 
funded by a Three-Million Dollar appropriation to the State 
Department.  The key function of the commission is to review 
the effectiveness of the National and International Hunger 
Programs, hold hearings and encourage public participation. 
The Commission will seek to coordinate a unified American 
effort with other nations.
     John has made a personal commitment to improve the 
quality of life on the planet Earth by ending hunger and 
starvation in the next 19 years.  We too can make a 
difference. We have the power to create an environment in 
which hunger is no longer acceptable.  We can express our 
personal willingness to take responsiblity by communicating 
this to your family, friends and elected representatives.
