Richard Nixon: “This budget allocates $2.5 billion in 1972 and $5.3 billion in 1973 to make General Revenue Sharing a reality now.”

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

It is only a beginning, always.

This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.

My mother was a saint.
