Richard Nixon: “If bills come to my desk calling for excessive spending which threatens the Federal budget, I will veto them.”

Two weeks ago, I vowed to the American people that any appropriations bill substantially above my budget for fiscal year 1975 would be vetoed.

May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.

This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.
