Richard Nixon: “Consider the international economic aspects of essentially foreign policy issues, such as foreign aid and defense.”

In keeping Federal spending under control, we do not intend, of course, to single out only farm or environmental programs.

I invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.

It is regrettable that the Congress has seen fit to add to a bill of such importance to our national security a rider adversely affecting the constitutional separation of powers.
