Richard Nixon: “He had a profound respect for the traditions, the institutions and the instruments of our nation.”

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

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

As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…

I also call upon appropriate community organizations to cooperate with the Customs Service in recognizing 185 years of mutually beneficial relationships.
