Richard Nixon: “We have done the very best that we can against very great obstacles, and we finally have achieved a peace with honor.”

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

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

Two weeks ago, I vowed to the American people that any appropriations bill substantially above my budget for fiscal year 1975 would be vetoed.
