Description

Nixon thanks a congressman for supporting a veto of the Water and Sewer program which would have resulted “in tax increases and high inflation for the American taxpayer”

TLS as president signed “RN,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, April 10, 1973. Letter to freshman Republican Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead of California. In full: “I am grateful for your courageous vote today to sustain my veto of the Rural Water and Sewer grant program. Your action demonstrates your commitment to oppose unnecessary programs which could result in tax increases and high inflation for the American taxpayer. As you know, there are other federal programs which may be used to provide assistance to rural communities with urgent needs for water and sewer facilities-programs that do not have the adverse budgetary impact of the vetoed legislation. The fact that this veto was sustained is proof that working together, the President and responsible members of the Congress can hold the line for sound, sensible fiscal policy. I appreciate the forthright stand you took today and look forward to your continued support in our battle to keep down taxes and inflation.” In fine condition, with a light paperclip mark to top edge. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
