"My concern about inflation, my determination to reduce wasteful Government spending would compel me to veto the public works appropriations bill."

"Their numbers will grow unless we find means to raise world food production and improve food distribution."

"I am returning H.R. 12928, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill, to the Congress without my approval."

"I respect the hard work and good intentions of the Members of Congress who have prepared this legislation."
