Richard Nixon: “I would say the difference is very significant.”

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

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

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 am pleased that in this bill the Congress has expressed support for our objectives by authorizing $22.2 billion for military procurement purposes during fiscal year 1975.
