Richard Nixon: “In order to keep the administrative wage structure flexible, to fight inflation, and to maintain sufficient employment…”

I have always tried to do what was best for the Nation.

I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.

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

I am pleased that in this bill the Congress has expressed support for our objectives by authorizing $22.2 billion for military procurement purposes during fiscal year 1975.
