Now, Therefore, I, Richard M. Nixon, President of the Unites States of America, in accordance with Senate Joint Resolution 73, do hereby proclaim Monday, April 16, 1973, as 'Jim Thorpe Day' and call upon the people of the United States to mark this day with appropriate observances.

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.
I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.
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.
I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.
