I urge the Congress again to act expeditiously on the District budget for 1974.

On behalf of the American people, I congratulate the government and the people of the Republic of Vietnam on the success of this land reform endeavor.

I HEREWITH transmit a draft bill, 'to authorize reduction or suspension of import barriers to restrain inflation.'
