I am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.
This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.
As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…
This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.
