Richard Nixon: “The Nation needs this legislation. The House of Representatives has acted. The Senate now must act.”

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

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.

Time is now of the essence with regard to the trade bill.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty.
