As far as these agreements are concerned, they are basically not an end in themselves.

If a passenger has to wait an extra half hour in order to have his baggage searched, whereas he is an absolutely innocent person, if it means that as a result of that time that there is going to be some kind of seizure, as was the case in…

I have just had an opportunity to express my appreciation and the appreciation of the people of the United States to these two Customs officers for what they have accomplished in the seizure yesterday.

This is an indication that this problem of drug abuse strikes home very close to all of our families, and that men like this, who are working out in the front lines, who spend many tedious hours going through baggage, searching ships…

The other point is a very personal point.

Therefore, we ask for the patience of passengers as we step up and crack down in our search, as Mr. Ambrose has been directed to do.

How is it that we can send men to the moon, yet we cannot manage our problems of transportation here on earth?

We have found that where we have heavy reliance on cross-city busing of Schoolchildren, it has failed to meet either of its intended purposes.

Let all Americans join together in a new recognition of the vital and positive roles which both the public and the nonpublic school systems play.

The Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1972...points in the right direction.

America needs her nonpublic schools.

A nation can be rich, a nation can be powerful, a nation can be well educated, but if its people lack character it will not stand.

This stability serves the interests of the United States in two important respects.

Buford Ellington will be remembered as a fair and independent man who served his State and Nation well when they were in need of his service.

The 62 members of the International Coffee Organization worked together effectively to stabilize world coffee trade.

MRS. NIXON and I join in mourning the death of Buford Ellington.

Approval of this important legislation constitutes an important reaffirmation of our determination to cooperate with the developing countries.

Last year the International Coffee Agreement proved its continuing value as an instrument of international economic cooperation.

The recent passage by the Congress of enabling legislation permits us to fulfill certain of our obligations under the Agreement.

Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1972 as Cancer Control Month.

America is now committed to an all-out attempt to find a means of controlling cancer.

The legislation I sign today, S. 3160, the Par Value Modification Act, is necessary for fulfillment of our part of that historic agreement

We pledge a strong continuation of the efforts, also launched last summer, to assure the American workman, farmer, and businessman fair access to foreign markets

We are making progress in that struggle, with the rise in the Consumer Price Index in the 6 months ending in February declining to a 3.3 percent annual rate

Conditions have changed greatly since the Bretton Woods agreement of 1945, and we must adapt the system to meet those changes
