Richard Nixon: “Accordingly, the tapes, which have been under my sole personal control, will remain so.”

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

As far as what the President personally knew and did with regard to Watergate and the coverup is concerned, these materials--together with those already made available--will tell it all.

It is only a beginning, always.

I did not realize the extent of the implications which these conversations might now appear to have.
