Richard Nixon: “America stands for moral and spiritual ideals, for the God-given dignity of men and women.”

I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

This legislation exceeds my budgetary recommendations by such a large amount--some $540 million--that it presents a clear and distinct threat to our fight against inflation and cannot be accepted.

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