PRESIDENT RICHARD M. NIXON'S NEWS CONFERENCE #16
Held at the Western White House
San Clemente, California
May 1, 1971
AT 10:00 A.M. PDT (Saturday)
Official White House Transcript
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
I thought this morning that it would be well to give
those who particularly are members of the White House Press
Corps, and others, of course, who are here, who joined us in
California, an opportunity to follow up on the press conference
we had Thursday.
After that conference, I noted that there were only
one or two questions out of all the questions that were asked,
of the 18 or 19, that were in the field of domestic policy.
So, consequently, so that you can have a chance to follow up
in the domestic field, we will limit this conference to
domestic policy questions, any area that you would like to
explore in that particular case.
I note that you are all standing. I understand
that for the purpose of this conference, to get recognition,
if you will simply hold your hand up, or speak up, either
one, I will recognize you.
I think Mr. Cormier has the first question.
QUESTION: Mr. President, on the basis of the first
quarter GNP figures which were up sharply, Director Shultz
saw the basis for a broad expansion. Some others in your
Administration said, "Well, it is too early." "One swallow
doesn't make a spring," and what have you.
What is your view on that?
