Richard Nixon actually said...

I have pledged to the American people that I would submit a balanced budget for 1971.

I personally learned of his great abilities in 1950 when he volunteered his assistance in my campaign for the U.S. Senate.

It was not only his superb record as Congressman that made Glen Lipscomb respected; it was his admirable record as a man.

The budget I send to you today--the first for which I bear full responsibility as President--fulfills that pledge.
