Richard Nixon: “I say, my friends, this is a time to speak up for America, not to run America down.”

To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.

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

I further urge all students in our country to acquaint themselves fully with their own student government associations and to play a constructive role in contributing to their success.
