Richard Nixon: “we realize that administrations will change”

This legislation exceeds my budgetary recommendations by such a large amount--some $540 million--that it presents a clear and distinct threat to our fight against inflation and cannot be accepted.

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.

As far as what the President personally knew and did with regard to Watergate and the coverup is concerned, these materials--together with those already made available--will tell it all.
