Hie Role of the Savings Bond Program In Today's Economy
The following address was delivered by Secretary Snyder at a savlnge bond
rally sponsored by the Federal EeBerve Bank of St. Louis at St. Louis,
Missouri on October 23. 19U6.

The savings bond program of the Treasury Department Is very close to my heart.
It Is a program that I am always happy to discuss.

are doing their employees a real favor.
