Abstract: However modestly you may view your own accomplishments, the fact of the matter is that the men and women gathered here today are the very backbone of Americas gas industry. And, believe me, thats a fact thats worthy of great respect. I could spend all the time 1 have with you saluting your many achievements, but, if I did so, Id have no time left for any other remarks. That being the case, Ill just call attention to a few of your more significant programs, and then pass on to the subject Ive chosen for today-Strength through Understanding. Among your many ongoing efforts, nothing is of greater importance to the industry than your consistent emphasis on improving operational safety. To be sure, accident prevention and employee safety have always been of major concern to this industry. But the efforts of you and your colleagues, over the past 40 years, have made it possible to decrease the rate of fatal accidents by 90 percent and to cut the injury rate by 50 percent - despite the fact that the industrys workforce has more than doubled from 95,000 to 218,000 since 1945. These safety gains were made during a period of major expansion and technological change and merit the highest praise.
