Today, in one of the most difficult
decisions of my presidency...
2:17:07
I accepted the resignations of two of my
closest associates in the White House...
2:17:11
Bob Haldeman
And John Ehrlichman...
2:17:14
...two of the finest public servants
it has been my privilege to know.
2:17:22
More light, Chief?
2:17:24
No, Bob.
2:17:32
Six bodies.
2:17:34
The counsel to the
president, John Dean, has also resigned.
2:17:39
I will not place the blame
on subordinates...
2:17:42
...on people whose zeal
exceeded their judgment...
2:17:44
...and who may have done wrong in a cause
they deeply believed to be right.
2:17:50
In any organization...
2:17:53
...the man at the top must bear
the responsibility.
2:17:56
That responsibility, therefore,
belongs here in this office...
2:17:59
...and I accept that.
2:18:01
There can be no whitewash
At the White House.
2:18:04
Two wrongs
do not make a right.
2:18:07
Now, I love America.
2:18:08
God bless America,
and God bless each and every one of you.
2:18:14
And we're clear.
2:18:20
Out.
2:18:40
Thank you.
2:18:47
Are you going
to Key Biscayne?
2:18:51
Yeah.
When?
2:18:55
Tomorrow.
