Richard Nixon: “I intend to take every step necessary to achieve that goal.”

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.

I invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.

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

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