Richard Nixon actually said...

Mr. President, your life has been an example to millions of your countrymen and to millions throughout the world.

It is a great honor for me to stand here on the soil of the nation that is America's oldest ally and America's oldest friend.

What we seek is to find those new roads which will lead to cooperation and to peace and freedom for all the people of the world.

We also recognize that there are other sources of great leadership.
