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.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

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