Richard Nixon: “I expect your full cooperation in demonstrating our fiscal responsibility.”

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…

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty.

Our military forces deter potential aggressors and, together with those of our allies, serve to assure the continued security of the free world.

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.
