to match the physical resources of the State in its efforts to subdue the

I want to thank all of you at 'c.his tL:,2 for all of your support during the

how much I deeply appreciate that s�ppcrt, and how much Mr. Armstrong loves
you for it and how much appreciation he has for it. The letters keep com

tions of support. All I can do once �gain is say, Thank you! Thank you!
