Richard Nixon: “A third area that is worth your watching is the area of cooperation in space.”

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

This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.

I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.

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.
