Richard Nixon: “H.R. 11102 is a long step down the road of fiscal irresponsibility, and we should not take that road.”

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.

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.

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.
