Richard Nixon: “The strength of our economic system is rooted in diversity and free competition; the strength of our banking system…”

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.

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.

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 am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.
