Richard Nixon: “We have done a good job without having new legislation; we will do a better job with more legislation.”

To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.

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

It is regrettable that the Congress has seen fit to add to a bill of such importance to our national security a rider adversely affecting the constitutional separation of powers.

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