In keeping Federal spending under control, we do not intend, of course, to single out only farm or environmental programs.
To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.
I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.
This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
