Richard Nixon: “I urge the Congress to take prompt and favorable action on the stockpile legislation I am submitting.”

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

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 further urge all students in our country to acquaint themselves fully with their own student government associations and to play a constructive role in contributing to their success.

Further study is essential if we are to avoid ineffective Federal spending for these purposes.
