Nixon's Goal Prosperity Peace by 1972
President Nixon says he hopes to do better and achieve prosperity and peace by 1972.

He envisions 1971 as good and 1972 as very good, aims for near full employment, welfare reform, expanded federal revenue sharing, and a major health care package while preserving a cautious bombing policy in North Vietnam if needed.
