RELEASE
FOR RELEASE AT 12 NOON EST--
October 30, 1969
I congratulate President Nixon on his proposed Buyer's Bill of Rights. The
proposals the President has outlined in the consumerism message sent to Congress
today are easily the most far-reaching of any consumer protection measures yet laid
before the Federal Legislature.
Under the President's proposals, the American consumer at last would have
full protection under the law and laws that would fully protect him. He would have
complete representation in Washington and access to product testing information
which Federal agencies have gathered over the years.
President Nixon's consumer protection package is indeed an historic stride
forward, a step that will cultivate greater confidence in U.S. consumer products
and thus benefit not only the buyer but the seller. A byproduct doubtless will
be increased world confidence in the quality of American goods, already recognized
in world markets as outstanding.
In my view, Mr. Nixon is the first American President to take complete
cognizance of the buyer's problems in all of their ramifications. He has struck
a blow for the consumer that will have permanent and most beneficial impact.
