    Statement on the 70th Anniversary of Social Security
    August 14, 2005

        For 70 years, Social Security has been a vital program and helped
    millions of America's seniors in retirement. The Social Security system
    is sound for today's seniors, but there is a hole in the safety net for
    younger workers. On this 70th anniversary, we renew our commitment to
    save and strengthen Social Security for our children and grandchildren
    and keep the promise of Social Security for future generations.
