I have directed that U.S. Government resources be made available to meet immediate humanitarian needs.

I call upon all nations and corporations that have ships in the vicinity of the South Vietnamese coast to help evacuate refugees to safety in the south.

The people of this country need to know, right now, how to plan their financial affairs for the rest of this year.

I have ordered American naval transports and contract vessels to assist in the evacuation of refugees from the coastal seaports.

Jobs were then and are now my main concern.

I requested the new Congress to pass as its first priority a simple $16 billion reduction in Federal income taxes.

I have therefore decided to sign this bill so that its economic benefits can begin to work.

I do hereby revoke Proclamations No. 2799 of July 20, 1948, No. 2937 of August 16, 1951, No. 2938 of August 16, 1951, No. 2942 of August 30, 1951, No. 2972 of April 17, 1952, No. 3314 of September 14, 1959, and No. 4101 of January 13…

I believe my veto would eventually be sustained.

I hereby amend the description of the lands described in Proclamation No. 4346 to read as follows:

The report on the status of advisory committees in 1974 is herewith forwarded.

The Special Representative shall prepare, for the President's transmission to Congress, the annual report on the trade agreements program required by section 163 (a) of the Act.

The 'trade agreements program' includes all activities consisting of, or related to, the negotiation or administration of international agreements which primarily concern trade.

The Board shall perform such functions as are required by Section 411 of the Act and such other functions as the President may direct.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Trade Act of 1974, it is hereby ordered as follows:

The Committee shall advise the President as to what action, if any, he should take under Section 337(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930.

I urge the Congress to act favorably on this proposal.

The Special Representative, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall be responsible for the administration of the generalized system of preferences under Title V of the Act.

The functions of the President with respect to determining ad valorem amounts and equivalents pursuant to Sections 601 (3) and (4) of the Act are hereby delegated to the Special Representative.

I do hereby proclaim the month of April 1975 as Cancer Control Month.

I am most anxious to sign a bill along the lines I have proposed.

I also ask the medical and health professions, the communications media, and all other interested persons and groups to unite in public reaffirmation of our Nation's abiding commitment to control cancer.

I regret that the Senate version of H.R. 2166 goes far beyond the purpose of providing a quick stimulus.

My proposal was for a one-year stimulant limited to $16 billion.

I don't envy the difficulties you have, but I am confident that you can carry them out in an outstanding way.
