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.

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

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