Richard Nixon: “We don't have to be number one in everything, but we have to try to be.”

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

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

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