That year marked an historic turning point in international economic relations.
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.
Our key objectives in reform of the international trading system are to reduce existing tariff and nontariff barriers affecting agricultural as well as industrial products, to establish new rules for the fairer conduct of world trade, and…
This Treaty demonstrates once again the desire and willingness of the United States to settle, in a spirit of understanding and good will, differences which may exist in our relations with other countries particularly with our Latin…
Under the Treaty the United States renounces all claims to sovereignty over three uninhabited outcroppings of coral reefs in the Caribbean -- Quita Sueno, Roncador and Serrana.
This report covers developments during the twelve months ending December 31, 1971.
The nations of the world now have the opportunity to open a new era of international relations characterized by negotiation rather than confrontation across the whole range of foreign policy issues.
I urge that the Senate act favorably on the Treaty in the near future.
I am confident we will be able to establish a new international economic framework within which trade can expand on an equitable basis for all participants-contributing to peace and prosperity for all nations of the world.
This is why I early proclaimed reform as a watchword of my Administration.
The Cabinet as a whole will continue to function as it has done during the past 4 years.
I am confident that these measures will enhance my ability to deliver between now and 1977 what the people voted for in 1972: government that performs what it promises, and 100 cents worth of public services for every tax dollar spent.
I am therefore today taking the first of a series of steps aimed at increasing the management effectiveness of both the Cabinet and the White House Staff, by reordering the timeworn and, in many cases, obsolete relationships among top…
I am determined to continue building on that progress by resubmitting similar legislation to the Congress in 1973.
I trust that the Members of the House and Senate received the same message that I did when we went to the people last fall--the message that Americans are fed up with wasteful, muscle-bound government in Washington and anxious for change…
I am now taking action to cut the total personnel of the Executive Office of the President by well over half, and to reduce substantially the number of organizations which now make up the EOP.
PUBLICATION today of the final report of the National Commission on Consumer Finance is good news for all Americans.
It is, therefore, vital to ensure that our consumer finance system continues to provide consumers with adequate credit at reasonable rates.
It is the wide availability of consumer credit which permits consumers to finance major purchases out of current income and thus enables our industries to develop and offer many more products than they could otherwise.
I welcome this opportunity to express my personal appreciation to the members and staff of the Commission for their painstaking work over the past 3 years.
The Commission's detailed research and comprehensive report should help us to determine whether our system is fully adequate for this purpose and how we might strengthen it in the future.
The board shall report its finding to the President with respect to the dispute within thirty days from the date of this order.
In the tragedy of his untimely death, we are reminded that he deserved even greater respect and admiration for his splendid qualities as a generous and kind human being.
The best memorial we can build to his memory is to contribute generously for the relief of those he was trying to help--the earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
EVERY sports fan admired and respected Roberto Clemente as one of the greatest baseball players of our time.
