Souvenir typescript, one page, 6 x 9.5, dated August 8, 1974 (but signed later on), an excerpt from Nixon’s address to the nation announcing his decision to resign. In full, “Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me. In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the Congress to justify continuing that effort. Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.” Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Nixon. In fine condition. R&R COA.
