Time is now of the essence with regard to the trade bill.
I have concluded that because of the Watergate matter, I might not have the support of the Congress that I would conside...
Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.
