Richard Nixon: “I only hope that perhaps a year from now, or 2 years from now, we can look back at this moment and say it was not just…”

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.

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

A strong America is essential to maintaining world peace.

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