Richard Nixon: “In demonstrating our support for them we can help ensure that our Armed Forces of tomorrow will continue to be composed…”

I have never been a quitter.

I am pleased that in this bill the Congress has expressed support for our objectives by authorizing $22.2 billion for military procurement purposes during fiscal year 1975.

I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
