Richard Nixon: “I am not concerned about what Judge Carswell said 22 years ago when he was a candidate for a State legislature.”

Mistakes, yes. But for personal gain, never.

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 do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.

We will see you again.
