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.
Now, Therefore, I, Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning June 9, 1974, as National Flag Week, and I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag on all…
For their efforts in negotiating this agreement, Sir Christopher Soames, Vice President of the European Communities Commission, and Ambassador William D. Eberle, the U.S. Special Representative for Trade Negotiations, both deserve the…
I AM pleased to announce this morning that trade negotiators from the United States and the European Community, meeting in Brussels, have agreed on a formula for reducing Community import duties on a significant number and volume of…
It is the hope of the United States that the spirit which prevailed during these negotiations will continue in the months and years ahead as we seek to resolve other important and sensitive issues.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, and as President of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
The discussions conducted by United States Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger with Syria and Israel have led to an agreement on the disengagement of Syrian and Israeli forces.
It is obviously a major diplomatic achievement, and Secretary Kissinger deserves enormous credit for the work that he has done, along with members of his team, in keeping this negotiation going and finally reaching an agreement when, at…
I have sent messages of congratulations to Prime Minister Meir of Israel and also to President Asad of Syria, congratulating them with regard to the statesmanship that they have shown in resolving differences that seemed totally without…
Before our new Counsellor responds briefly, I should point out that while he has great additional responsibilities in our battle against inflation, holding the line, he gets no additional money.
As far as the United States is concerned, we shall continue with our diplomatic initiatives, working with all governments in the area toward working toward achieving the goal of a permanent settlement, a permanent peace.
Our objective, however, is to turn this situation around so that later in the year output will be rising more rapidly, while unemployment will stop rising and will then decline, and the rate of inflation will slow.
We expect, therefore, that during the early part of this year output will rise little if at all, unemployment will rise somewhat and inflation will be high.
I, Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, 1974, as a day of prayer for permanent peace.
They, too, have preserved our freedom; they, too, are helping to create a future free of war.
We can celebrate a year in which no American serviceman has fallen in the defense of his country.
The White House has already joined with Congressional leaders on a bipartisanship basis to study potential economic shortages.
The quality of life in America--the ability to feed, clothe, and house our people--has continued at a level which exceeds that of any nation in the world today.
No aspect of our public life has a greater impact upon the way each of us lives than our national economy.
The number of Americans working today is at a record level, while the rate of those unemployed has risen only slightly.
I want to talk with you directly about the economic problems we have been experiencing in recent months and the directions we plan to take in the future.
Politicians like Richard Nixon
