Richard Nixon: “The provisions of this order shall become effective upon adoption by the Board of Director of bylaws for the Corporation”

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.

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.

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.
