Richard Nixon: “I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1969, as Constitution Week.”

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

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

Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
