...sounds of shattering champagne bottles will echo through shipyards from Bath, Me., to San Diego. Last month Commerce Department officials signed the two biggest commercial shipbuilding contracts in U.S. history. Both were for new types of ships called LNG tankers, which will carry huge quantities of liquefied natural gas from Algeria and perhaps Russia.

Nixon sounded a loftier note. "We will end the war," he said-an echo from the campaign four years ago.
