Richard Nixon actually said...

I urge that such programs emphasize :—the development of better understanding and more effective working relationships between those who live on the farm and those who live in non-farm areas;—the enormous scientific and technological advances in agriculture and their significance for the lives of both rural and urban dwellers;—the vital need to plan more effectively the way we will use our land, conserve our natural resources, and protect the quality of our environment;—the importance of maintaining and enhancing the social and economic health of farms and rural communities;—the urgency of providing opportunities for disadvantaged people in both rural and urban areas to participate more fully in the economic life of the nation.
