Richard Nixon: “He was a man who was devoted to his cause, spoke for it eloquently, and worked for it tirelessly.”

A number of provisions authorize spending for unneeded equipment and could thus inflate defense spending unnecessarily at a time when we all should recognize the need to avoid waste.

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

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

I have never been a quitter.
