Richard Nixon: “Our economy has some weaknesses, and we intend to do something about those weaknesses.”

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

We think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended.

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

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