dc.descriptionCover title: The Briscoe years, 1973-1979.en_US
dc.description.abstractDuring my six years as Governor of Texas, I have tried to apply the philosophy of my old friend from Uvalde, the late Vice President John Nance Garner: Government should do only two things: — Safeguard the lives and property of our people. — Ensure that each of us has a chance to work out his destiny according to his talents. This has been the theme of the Briscoe Administration from its beginning on January 16, 1973. Our program has been built on these two principles. I believe we have succeeded reasonably well. The need for confining our government activities to these two directives is as real today as it was six years ago, and I believe the public support for them is greater than ever. It means services for the people, but not government domination of their lives and pocketbooks.
