Richard Nixon: “We must not use them wastefully.”

It is regrettable that the Congress has seen fit to add to a bill of such importance to our national security a rider adversely affecting the constitutional separation of powers.

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.

We think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended.

I am pleased that in this bill the Congress has expressed support for our objectives by authorizing $22.2 billion for military procurement purposes during fiscal year 1975.
