Richard Nixon: “We shall insist that North Vietnam comply with the agreement.”

Two weeks ago, I vowed to the American people that any appropriations bill substantially above my budget for fiscal year 1975 would be vetoed.

This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.

I also call upon appropriate community organizations to cooperate with the Customs Service in recognizing 185 years of mutually beneficial relationships.

Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
