Richard Nixon: “Mr. Prime Minister, that friendship goes back, as you and I recalled in our discussions today, many years.”

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.

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

It is essential that we move ahead to revitalize the global trading system through multilateral negotiations.

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.
