I especially salute the Menominee people and their leaders for their persuasiveness and perseverance in using the tools of the political process to bring about peaceful change.

I join the national Indian organizations, the Congress, and the public in expressing my pleasure and satisfaction at seeing this bill enacted.

The Committee will submit within 90 days its first report on recommendations concerning impediments to U.S. exports.

This memorandum establishes the President's Interagency Committee on Export Expansion, which will report to the President through the Council on International Economic Policy.

This data will be helpful in providing a basis upon which to judge the effectiveness of our efforts to reduce work related injuries, illnesses and fatalities.

The Committee will identify, evaluate and make recommendations concerning impediments to U.S. exports, especially those which are under Federal control.

Because public cooperation is vital to the success of the program, I am gratified by the support which has been extended to this program by the news media, by the professions, and by the general public.

As these plans are approved and carried out, enforcement will begin to shift from the Federal Government to the States with no loss in effectiveness.

Today, I am submitting the second President's Report on Occupational Safety and Health, outlining the activities which have taken place under that new Act in calendar year 1972.

It offers, too, a glimpse of what lies ahead as we work to assure safe and healthful working conditions for all of our country's working men and women.

I want to assure all Americans that there will be no windfall profits at their expense.

Another possibility would be to refund all or part of the tax to the oil producer if he invests his profits in additional energy-producing efforts.

I have valued your loyal friendship during this difficult period.

This special emergency tax will prevent future windfalls to producers and will make up, in some degree, for those which may have already occurred.

My recommendation to the Congress for an emergency windfall profits tax is designed to give that assurance.

It has been heartening to me that I have always been able to look to your sound judgment and wise counsel when it was needed most.

We have ended American involvement in our longest war and embarked on a promising course of negotiations aimed at building a durable structure of peace throughout the world.

As prices return to the long-run supply level and as the potential for windfall profits disappears, a continuation of the tax would result in higher prices for consumers, with no concomitant increase in oil supplies.
