Further study is essential if we are to avoid ineffective Federal spending for these purposes.
Earlier this year, before the expiration of the legislation authorizing the Cost of Living Council, I proposed to the Congress that a residual group within the Executive Office of the President be authorized to monitor wages and prices, as an on-going part of our fight against inflation.
In my economic address on May 25 of this year, I called for the establishment of a Cost of Living Task Force to monitor wages and prices.
I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as president, I must put the interests of America first. Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
