Richard Nixon: “It is time to strip away the double standard.”

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

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

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.

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