Richard Nixon: “Every young person has a right to an education.”

This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.

This legislation exceeds my budgetary recommendations by such a large amount--some $540 million--that it presents a clear and distinct threat to our fight against inflation and cannot be accepted.

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

It is only a beginning, always.
