Richard Nixon: “They were greeted at Vnukovo II Airport by President Podgorny, Premier Kosygin, Foreign Minister Gromyko, and Ambassador…”

I invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.

I am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.

I take this occasion once again to urge prompt and final action on the Trade Reform Act.

This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.
