Richard Nixon: “In the long run, is to provide sufficient income to purchase adequate diets and to meet the other basic day-to-day…”

This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.

I invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.

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

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