I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.
This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.
Further study is essential if we are to avoid ineffective Federal spending for these purposes.
This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
