Richard Nixon: “We are very honored that you, as Prime Minister, would come here on this very special day.”

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

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.

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

Further study is essential if we are to avoid ineffective Federal spending for these purposes.
