More from Gerald Ford
When I took office in 1974, I found many of our regulatory laws outdated and unintelligible.
Of those suggestions submitted, more than 296,000 have been adopted with resultant tangible first-year benefits in excess of $929,000,000.
I am calling for legislation to halt this practice so that our budget system will fully reflect the financial activities of the Government.
The budget is the President's blueprint for the operation of the Government in the year ahead.
