Presidential Quotes

Richard Milhous Nixon

Portrait of President Nixon

"This Nation must not break faith with those Americans who have a right to expect that Social Security payments will protect them and their families. . . . In the 34 years since the Social Security program was first established, it has become a central part of life for a growing number of Americans. . . . Almost all Americans have a stake in the soundness of the Social Security system." -September 25, 1969
