Richard Nixon: “He has done a very effective job in his travels abroad and in the United States.”

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

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

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 invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.
