A monument of what America has meant for its first 200 years and what it can mean for the next 200 years.
Nineteen seventy-six normally would be of interest in any event, because it is a Presidential election year.
You have helped by giving us the legislation which will then create a monument, we trust, that the whole Nation can see.
It is hard to realize that this piece of legislation will not come into fulfillment or culmination until the year 1976.
By the virtue of the authority vested in me by Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1973, the Disaster Relief Act of 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4401, et seq.), and section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code and as President of the United…
This order shall be effective thirty days after the date of its issuance.
I am making a full disclosure of my financial affairs as President of the United States.
I also want to assure you that the committee will have full access to all relevant documents pertaining to these matters and will have the full cooperation of my office.

Today I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 9474, which will provide increased pensions and related benefits for over 2 million veterans, veterans' widows, and surviving children and parents.
The program is currently fraught with inconsistencies, inequities, and anomalies which cannot be corrected unless the entire framework of the program is restructured.
Veterans and widows should be treated equally with regard to income and pension payments.
Now it is important that we move on together in the development of specific proposals so that full pension reform can be enacted early in the next session of the Congress.
