This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty.

It is regrettable that the Congress has seen fit to add to a bill of such importance to our national security a rider adversely affecting the constitutional separation of powers.
