Your gallant attempts to help
preserve the grass on the Lawn
seem to be failing. I would
therefore like to offer my modest
proposal. The simple solution is to
cover the lawn with Astroturf.
Immediately great cries of cost will
arise from the masses. My plan
would be easily financed by the
HEW appropriations with the support
coming from the Democratic
"spend it when you don't have it"
leaders (Misters Kennedy, McGovern,
et al). The cost should not rise
much over one-half million dollars
(a minuscule sum when added to
the $19.7 billion price tag).
Possibly there is Astroturf squirrel
food to insure a sufficient
supply during the winter for our
furred friends. Not to mention the
possibility of Astroturf trees.
Please check into these matters
for me. I suggest that you start with
George, Ted and Eugene.
