Richard Nixon: “I would also like to add that General Chapman is a Marine in the truest sense.”

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as president, I must put the interests of America first. Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon…

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

It is only a beginning, always.

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.
