Richard Nixon: “If the House and the Senate approve a direct election proposal for amending the Constitution, it will have my support.”

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.

Two weeks ago, I vowed to the American people that any appropriations bill substantially above my budget for fiscal year 1975 would be vetoed.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

We will see you again.
