March 29, 1973 - Nixon talks about the defense budget as it relates to upcoming negotiations with the Soviet Union on nuclear arms limitations and reduction of forces in Europe. He says the defense budget is the lowest percentage of the gross national product its been in twenty years. Without military strength that commands respect we wouldn?t have made as much progress in the past year toward lasting peace. . If prior to these upcoming negotiations the U.S. unilaterally reduces its defense budget, or forces in Europe, any chance for successful negotiations for mutual reduction of forces or limitation of arms will be destroyed. There is one unbreakable rule of international diplomacy: you can?t get something in a negotiation unless you have something to give, If we cut our defenses before negotiations begin any incentive for other nations to cut theirs will go right out the window.

March 29, 1973 - Nixon says he has submitted to Congress for the next fiscal year the largest budget in our history: $268 billion. The amount he has requested for domestic programs is twice as big as the amount he asked for four years ago, Some in Congress believe the budget in this area should be even higher, If he approves proposed budget increases this would mean a fifteen percent interest in taxes or an increase in prices for every American. That is why he will veto the bill which would break the federal budget he?s submitted. He says this is not a battle between Congress and the president, this is your battle, money, prices and taxes he?s trying to save. If you are willing to pay the higher taxes and prices that will result if spending is increased over his budget you should ask your members of Congress to override his veto. But if you want to stop the rise in prices and taxes he has a suggestion. When he was in Congress he always seemed to hear from those who wanted government to spend more, and seldom heard from the people who had to pay the bill, the taxpayers. If your Congressman or Senator has the courage to vote against more government spending so that you won?t have to pay higher prices or taxes let him know that you support him.
