Richard Nixon: “I first came to Paris, I remember, 22 years ago in this same building, and then as a Congressman.”

It is regrettable that the Congress has seen fit to add to a bill of such importance to our national security a rider adversely affecting the constitutional separation of powers.

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

I have always tried to do what was best for the Nation.

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.
