Famous quotes containing the words programs and/or administered:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction.

—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
