Frankly, I cannot imagine what the Government would be like without you.
I am grateful for what you have done and I am grateful that you are staying.
Because reform of the Federal Criminal Code should be among the highest of priorities of your Department, I am requesting you to take the following actions:
I would like to receive in six months a summary of your progress and your views concerning appropriate future action.
I would like the Republican Party to be the party of the open door, a party with its doors open to all people of all races and of all parties.

I believe one of America's most priceless assets is the idealism which motivates the young people of America.
There needs to be something more than the mere absence of war in life.
The specific administrative changes which I have approved are consistent with the recommendations of the President's Task Force on Business Taxation.
I want to emphasize that these short-run revenue reductions announced today are not so large as to prevent us from maintaining balance, now and in fiscal year 1972, between budget spending and the revenues that would be generated in a full…
In evaluating the impact of these tax actions on economic activity, it should be remembered that as of January 1, 1971, almost $7 billion in individual income tax cuts had already occurred as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1969.
