We can say that Japanese-American friendship and cooperation is essential not only for us to have peace in the Pacific but for us to develop peace and progress in the world.

Mr. Prime Minister, this is not the first time that I have welcomed you to the United States of America, but it is the very great honor that all of us have to welcome you for the first time in your capacity as Prime Minister to our…

Japan is a great Pacific power. It is now a great world power.

What really matters is this: After our short time on this great world stage is completed and we leave, what do we leave?

Provided, that all the duties, powers, and functions incident to hospitalization for such members or former members... shall, subject to the availability of space and facilities and the capabilities of the medical and dental staff, be…

By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, subsection (c) of Section 2 of Executive Order No. 11287 of June 28, 1966, as amended, is hereby amended by deleting '(1) The President's Science Adviser,' and by…

I have concluded, however, that it would be inconsistent with the public interest and with the Constitutional position of the Presidency to make available recordings of meetings and telephone conversations in which I was a participant and…

To the extent that I have custody of other documents or information relevant to the work of the Select Committee and that can properly be made public, I will be glad to make these available in response to specific requests.

I must decline to obey the command of that subpoena.

Mrs. Nixon and I join in mourning his death.

The important point is that our overall spending goal has been achieved.

I must respectfully refuse to produce those recordings.

For the 20 years that I have known you, Your Majesty, you have worked for the progress of your own people with remarkable results, and you have also worked for peace and stability in not only your part of the world but in all the world.

This is the first time, for example, that we find that no longer is the United States at war in Vietnam, since your visits to the United States.

We know that your leadership will be critical in determining that we can find a way to avoid any kind of eruption which could lead to breaking the peace in that part of the world, which all of us look upon today as potentially dangerous.

As we think of the peace of the world, that Your Majesty plays a very central role in terms of keeping that peace and of building it.
