Richard Nixon: “We expect, therefore, that during the early part of this year output will rise little if at all, unemployment will rise…”

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as president, I must put the interests of America first. Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon…

I did not realize the extent of the implications which these conversations might now appear to have.

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.

May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.
