Richard Nixon: “I do believe in a system which insures that a man is rewarded for working, and not penalized.”

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.

As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…

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

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