Richard Nixon: “I do not think that we should hold out any great optimism for any breakthroughs in that direction at this time.”

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

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.

I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty.
