Richard Nixon: “The United States has renounced any use of biological and toxin weapons.”

I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.

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

This legislation exceeds my budgetary recommendations by such a large amount--some $540 million--that it presents a clear and distinct threat to our fight against inflation and cannot be accepted.

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
