I don't think it's a push to unionize the Nation.

We are also trying to provide some mechanism by which we can control and make the Federal bureaucracy more effective.

The proposal is good, sound, and fair.

I hereby request that Sunday, June 18, 1978, be observed as Father's Day.

I will nominate Bruce P. Johnson, of Reno, Nev, to be a member of the United States Metric Board for a 2-year term.

We would prefer cooperation through a detente that increasingly involves similar restraint for both sides.
