President Nixon’s Address to the Nation Resigning the Office of the Presidency - Pt 2 of 2 Nixon continues outlining achievements: “We have unlocked the doors ... between the United States and the People's Republic of China.... In the Middle East, 100 million people in the Arab countries... now look on us as their friends... Together with the Soviet Union we have made the crucial breakthroughs that have begun the process of limiting nuclear arms.... We have opened the new relation with the Soviet Union... We must keep as our goal turning away from production for war and expanding production for peace... what we are striving so hard right now to achieve, prosperity without inflation.” 08:21:43 For more than a quarter of a century in public life I have shared in the turbulent history of this era. I have fought for what I believed in... Sometimes I have succeeded & sometimes I have failed Quotes Theodore Roosevelt ”... if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." “... 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 rather than dying in war.... This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.” Speech; Watergate; Resignation; Note: Reporters voices may not be used (after 08:26:00).
