I am directing the Secretary of the Army to make periodic reports of progress under this program to the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality.
Richard Nixon
The Public Record
Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1969, until his resignation on August 9, 1974. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of Vice President under Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1961. Nixon's presidency is noted for significant foreign policy achievements, including the historic opening of relations with China and the policy of détente with the Soviet Union. Domestically, he is recognized for establishing the Environmental Protection Agency and implementing various social programs.
The legislation being transmitted today would control dumping in the Great Lakes.
This bill represents a major step forward in cleaning up the Great Lakes.
Once this study is completed, we will be able to take action on the problem of ocean dumping.
I have therefore directed the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality to work with the Departments of the Interior, the Army, other Federal agencies, and State and local governments on a comprehensive study of ocean dumping to be…
This order shall take effect as of the first day of the first pay period beginning on or after December 27, 1969.
When the time comes when the young in your land or our land lose their spirit of adventure, when they want to play everything safe, when they don't want to take the risks, when they don't want to take a chance, when they consult their…
I know that our talks that we will have here will contribute to a relationship that is already strong and friendly, and we welcome you most warmly.
We have had friendly relations for 160 years, that we have worked together in the United Nations for the cause of peace and understanding among nations, and that we have been strong, firm allies in NATO.
Our commercial relations and bilateral relations are among the very best in the world.
One of our good fortunes is that we have within America so many people who came from Denmark, who are proud of that national heritage, but who are also very fine Americans.
When I think of Denmark, and I think this is true of most Americans, we think of Vikings.
Anyone who has known the hospitality of your country, in Copenhagen, or as my wife and I saw at Rebild on the Fourth of July, will never forget it and will always carry a special place in his heart for the Danish people.
Because of that courage and the spirit of adventure, they contributed enormously to discovering the world.
I have the very great honor to welcome you to Washington on this day.
I am signing H.R. 514 only to assure continuation of appropriations in fiscal 1971 for important programs whose authorizations expire on June 30, 1970.
It is my hope that the Congress will provide affirmative answers to all of these questions.
This administration therefore prefers that the money which would be spent in cancelling the loans of some students be used instead to make more loans available for all.
The fact that I am signing H.R. 514 should not be interpreted as a commitment to seek or approve this unrealistic level of appropriations.
I AM today signing into law the bill which is designated as H.R. 514, the elementary and secondary education amendments of 1969.
