Richard Nixon: “It is appropriate, however, to refer to one particular occasion on which this issue was raised.”

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

I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.

I further urge all students in our country to acquaint themselves fully with their own student government associations and to play a constructive role in contributing to their success.

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