I think they will understand what I have done and the reasons for it.
We shall accelerate the reequipment of South Vietnam's armed forces--in order to meet the enemy's increased firepower.
Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.
Tonight I want to speak to you of peace in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
