Strana 2332 - Such investments may be made only in interest-bearing obligations of the United States or in obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United States.
Strana 2432 - Voluntary prepayment group health plans, embodying group practice and providing comprehensive service, offer to their members the best of modern medical care.

Strana 2445 - Probably no great nation in the world has among its white population better health than prevails in the United States.
