> IN RADIO ACTUALITY ON "READ ACROSS AMERICA"
>
>
> THE PRESIDENT: The best and most enjoyable way for children to
>open their minds is by opening a book. This Tuesday, America will
>celebrate "Read Across America" Day. More than one million people --
>from baseball star Cal Ripken, Jr., to the sailors of the USS Saipan
>-- will share the joy of reading with children in every part of our
>country. I encourage all caring adults to get involved. Read to
>children on "Read Across America" Day -- and read to them every day.
>Together, we can make our children the best readers in the world.
