Richard Nixon: “May no President of the United States, Democratic or Republican, ever consider it necessary to apologize or express…”

I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.

We think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended.

This legislation exceeds my budgetary recommendations by such a large amount--some $540 million--that it presents a clear and distinct threat to our fight against inflation and cannot be accepted.

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
