Richard Nixon: “The United States must end this depreciation of research and development in its order of national priorities.”

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.

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

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

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