Richard Nixon: “We want our youngsters to have that.”

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

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

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.

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