Richard Nixon: “Within the term of the next President I believe the foundation for a lasting peace can be laid.”

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

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

Two weeks ago, I vowed to the American people that any appropriations bill substantially above my budget for fiscal year 1975 would be vetoed.

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