Richard Nixon: “We are prepared to take the protective reaction measures which will deal very effectively with it.”

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.

Our military forces deter potential aggressors and, together with those of our allies, serve to assure the continued security of the free world.

We will see you again.

We think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended.
