Richard Nixon: “America was founded as the land of the open door.”

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.

I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
