Richard Nixon: “Proposed legislation to effect the revenue increases which I have recommended here will be sent to the Congress shortly.”

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

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

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.

I am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.
