Richard Nixon: “No government can be indifferent to the potential collapse of such schools.”

It is regrettable that the Congress has seen fit to add to a bill of such importance to our national security a rider adversely affecting the constitutional separation of powers.

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.

We think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended.

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