Abstract

A few hours before he announced his resignation as President of the United States, Richard Nixon vetoed the appropriations bill for the Environmental Protection Agency because he considered it to be inflationary. It was a symbolic last act for an Administration which spent a good deal of time doing battle with Congress over spending priorities. Colin Norman discusses how, for that small section of the population known as the scientific community, which has often been caught in the middle of the budgetary battle, Nixon's last veto was a reminder of what has passed and probably a taste of things to come.
