Richard Nixon: “The main task of the university is to maintain a climate in which, among other things, the critical spirit can flourish.”

I have never been a quitter.

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.

Our military forces deter potential aggressors and, together with those of our allies, serve to assure the continued security of the free world.
