Richard Nixon: “Mrs. Nixon and I are no exceptions.”

I have always tried to do what was best for the Nation.

This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.

I did not realize the extent of the implications which these conversations might now appear to have.

I am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.
