Richard Nixon: “Senator Kennedy is, of course, in a different position from what I am, and I understand that.”

In keeping Federal spending under control, we do not intend, of course, to single out only farm or environmental programs.

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

I invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.

This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.
