Richard Nixon: “The tide of inflation has turned.”

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

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 invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.
