Richard Nixon: “As peace in Vietnam comes closer, we can look to the larger world and the long-term future with hope and satisfaction.”

I further urge all students in our country to acquaint themselves fully with their own student government associations and to play a constructive role in contributing to their success.

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

May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.

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