"We must also recognize that the national administration is not and cannot be adjusted to the needs of local government. … The states should not be induced by coercion or by favor to surrender the management of their own affairs.

It does not follow that because something ought to be done the national government ought to do it. …"
Calvin Coolidge

January 1, 1970
