The threat of swine flu is very genuine.

There is no excuse now to let this program-a program that could affect the lives of many, many Americans--bog down in petty wrangling.

The record you will take to the people will be a good one.

I AM keenly disappointed by the action of the Congress in enacting, over my veto, the so-called Public Works Employment Act of 1976.

My concern about our unemployed citizens is second to none.

If it does insist on going ahead with this program, there will be no real winners but there will be real losers: the American people.

I am convinced that the passage of these bills is in the real interest of all of the American people.

The Congress has badly misjudged the real public interest in enacting this bill.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5317 of Title 5 of the United States Code, and as President of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

I am calling on the Congress to turn its full and undivided attention to this unfinished agenda of legislative business.

It is not sufficiently concerned about the risks of double-digit inflation.

There is an opportunity to write a legislative record of which we can all be proud.

I DEEPLY regret today that the Senate has overridden my veto of the public works bill.

The House can rectify the Senate action on Thursday and should, in the best interest of the Nation, sustain my veto.

I continue to believe that the wisest, most productive means of reaching that goal is through a steadily growing private sector--not through temporary jobs that are run by the Government.

This is the first annual report under the Act which I signed on December 31, 1974.

Your record in each case was superb.

We are delighted to have you back.

You have been so successful in the latter, it's probably better that you didn't win it before.

We see a future of steady movement toward a better life through prosperity and justice shared by all.

America's strength and America's well-being arise from the principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence.

Together, let us seek a human community responsive to all citizens.

It is my hope that the White House Conference on Library and Information Services will... provide the impetus for advancing the quality of America's informational services.

I transmit herewith a certified copy of the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents adopted at the Ninth Session of the Hague Conference on Private International Law on October 26, 1960.

I will request from the Congress the appropriations necessary to fund the conference.
