Photo Ad with text: An American Portrait 2076. Several months ago we started our Tricentennial Program by asking for your thoughts on life in America by the year 2076. Instead of a lot of ideas about space ships and robots of the future most of the more than 50,000 responses we've received have been about people's visions of our future as a nation. The main point that came through, letter after letter, was that most people believe a lot of the things that made America what it is today will shape our future as well. An overwhelming number of you - ninety-one percent told us you want the family to remain our basic social unit. Sixty-two percent feel the nation will be better off when there is no racial, sexual, or religious discrimination. Seventy-three percent of you told us you expect a reaffirmation of religion and faith by the time of our Tricentennial. There is a strong desire - almost two-thirds-for more individual participation in government through better communication. Nearly three-quarters of you are in favor of a slower paced, more rural life. What's better than statistics is the feeling that the majority of people believe that life in the future can be better than it is today. But we've always been like that. It's what's been called the American Dream. You've shown us that the future of America lies not in the land or the technologies we master but in the hearts and minds of the people, our greatest resource. We didn't intend to do a scientific survey but your responses show significant insight into the problems and opportunities that face our nation. We plan to make those thoughts available in a book reflecting many of the interesting letters we've received. Please note that all ideas submitted shall become public property without compensation.
