Richard Nixon: “This, for me, is a very special moment.”

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

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

Time is now of the essence with regard to the trade bill.

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