Three days later, in a message to Congress, he announced: I have pledged to the American people that I would submit a balanced budget for 1971. . . .

And made the first statement it would 1 to embarrass Mr. Nixon politicallyDuring his address of June seventeenth, the President announced: This is not the time for the Congress to play politics with inflation by passing legislation granting the President standby powers to impose wage and price controls. Congress, however, went ahead and attached the emergency wage and price control measure as an amendment to a defense production bill. And on August 17. 1970, Mr. Nixon signed the bill into law. lie did so reluctantly, he claimed, because I have pre viously indicated that I did nol intend to exercise such authority if it were given to me. Yet six months later, with the President's unwanted powers about to terminate, Treasury Secretary John B. Connally appeared before the House Banking and Currency Committee on February 23, 1971 , to plead for an extension of that wage and price control authority. A few weeks later the Senate approved the extension, and on May 6, 1971, the Associated Press reported: The House has passed and sen to President Nixon legislation for extension of his standa one-year by authority to impose price, wage and ren tcon trols. Nixon originally opposed the grant of authority, but theadmin-istratio- n dropped its opposition to the extension. Nixon used the legislation, without actually imposing a freeze, to set up a system of boards intended to e moderate inflation in the construction industry. wate-pric- In his first news conference as President, on January 17, 1969, Mr. Nixon had stated: 1 do not go along with the suggestion that inflation can be effectively controlled by exhorting labor and management and industry to follow certain guidelines. After noting that leaders of labor and management have to be guided not have been proper for me as President of the United States to urge labor and management to restrain their price increases and their wage demands at a time that Government was the major culprit in contributing to inflation. But now that Government hai done its part in holding down the he stressed again that Budget outlays for 1971 will be held to $200.8 billion. However, on May 19, 1970, the President issued a revised budget in a restrictive monetary policy, now it is time for labor and management to quit budget sic!, betting on inflation and to start help fighting inflation. In other words, estimate acknowledging that For fiscal 1971, our budget Mr. Nixon justified his change of attitude by claiming that Government lias done its part in holding down the budget. But this simply isnt true. visions show an estimated deficit of $1.3 billion. And in his annual economic report to Congress on February first of this year, the Chief Executive stated: In fiscal 1971, the Federal The Nixon Deficit During the 1968 campaign, candidate Richard Nixon assured the American people that he would indeed do something to curb the rise in federal spending which had occurred under the Democrats. As President, he reminded voters of this pledge during a speech on October 29, 1970, in Mount Prospect, Illinois: 1 said to the American people. . .when we get to Washington we are going to cut the Federal budgets where we can, cut them, cut the Federal budget, so that we can take the pressure off of prices. But what has the President done in this regard? For fiscal 1970, Mr. Nixon added nine billion dollars to the level of spending at which the spendthrift Johnson Administration had been operating. With the Budget for fiscal 1971 , he became the first President in American history to submit a proposal exceeding $200 billion. He told a news conference on January 30, 1970, that the $200.8 billion Budget for 1971 was an honest Government will spend $212.8 billion. . . .The actual deficit is expected to be 1814 billion. Thats quite a change from the surplus he promised the American people. And the situation will undoubtedly worsen during fiscal 1971. In his Budget message to Congress on January 29, 1971, President Nixon reported that federal spending for 1972 would reach at least $229.2 billion, with a minimum deficit of $11.5 billion. This means that your cen tral government will be spending it least $600,000,000 each day: ind over $26,000,000 each hour tnd nearly $500,000 each min-ite- ; and over $7,500 each second luring the year. On January 27, 1970, in his nessage to Congress vetoing that rears appropriation for the Office of Economic Opportunity, Department of Labor, and Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the President had asserted: The inflation we have at the start of the Seventies was caused by heavy deficit spending in the Sixties.

The President also asserted, From personal and religious beliefs I consider abortion an unacceptable form of population control. If this is the case, however, why did it take the President so long to act, and why did his directive come only after extensive public and Congressional pressure was exerted? And perhaps even more im- portant, why did the President appoint so many individuals favoring the abortion concept to his Commission on Population Growth and the American Future?

In March, The John Birch Society urged its members to write to legislators in support of the Schmitz bill. Other groups and individuals also began to speak out on the issue, and apparently as a result of this demand, for a change the President issued an excellent directive on April 3, 1971, requiring that the policy on abortions at American military bases in the United States be made to correspond with the laws of the States where those bases are lo- He then proceeded to repeat, twice again, those exact words, and continued: You may ask why I repeat these simple statements three times and I will tell you. 1 am trying to demonstrate that the Administration is not ashamed of the fact that we had, have and will have deficits and is not trying to conceal the fact.

During a news conference on December 10, 1970, for instance, a reporter reminded the President of the statement he had made during his initial news conference, and asked if that earlier position had been an erroneous one. The President replied: $57 billion more. These deficits caused prices to rise 25 in a decade. Yet, with an expected deficit of $18.5 billion for 1971, and a minimum deficit of $11.5 billion in 1972, the Nixon Administration will have run-u- p at least a $30 billion deficit in just two years! Extend that over a decade, and you will readily understand why Republican Battle Line for January, 1971, exclaimed: Surely no plan Hubert Humphrey might have adopted as president as his own economic policies could have been any more liberal than that which the President proposes. Nelson Rockefeller, were he sitting in the White House as president, could not outdo the New Nixon in his blatant abandonment of sensible and conservative economic policy.

On July 31, 1970, the Defense Department implemented a policy providing that abortions could be performed on military bases without regard to local state laws.
