Richard Nixon: “Let us have peaceful competition not only in producing the best factories but in producing better lives for our people.”

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

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

I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
