Richard Nixon: “We must rule out unilateral disarmament, because in the real world it wouldn't work.”

Two weeks ago, I vowed to the American people that any appropriations bill substantially above my budget for fiscal year 1975 would be vetoed.

My mother was a saint.

As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
