When the Congress reconvenes in January, I will ask it to enact an emergency windfall profits tax.

Governments must resist terrorists' demands since appeasement will not put an end to this international scourge.

The United States Government will continue to provide leadership and all possible assistance in this humanitarian endeavor.

Terrorists must be made to understand that senseless violence against innocent bystanders, including helpless women and children in this instance, will not be tolerated by people and governments who wish to live in peace and within the law.

Our deep regrets and condolences go to the families of the victims of all nationalities.

I strongly disagree with this legislation.

S. 2641 is an implicit denial of faith in the American judicial process and a measure which cannot fail to weaken that system.

Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation and their local and national government officials to observe Wright Brothers Day, December 17, 1973, with appropriate ceremonies and activities, both to recall the accomplishment of the Wright brothers and to provide a stimulus to the further progress of aviation in this country and throughout the world.

It is also a Christmas for the first time in 20 years when no young American is being drafted for the armed services.

I think one of the greatest privileges that a President of the United States has is to light the Christmas tree, the Nation's Christmas tree, because it belongs to all the Nation, here in the Nation's Capital.

Let us remember that unless America, at this time in history, accepts the responsibility to lead for peace, we may not have it in the world.

The spirit of Christmas is not measured by the number of lights on a tree.
