A President is not elected to see any one bill in isolation.
My budget asked $3.97 billion for the educational purposes covered by this bill-an increase of $972 million in spending over fiscal 1969.
I realize that an election year is a tempting time for people in politics to say yes to every spending bill.
It would help drive up interest rates and taxes.
