So, that is where the money came from. Let me just say this: I want to say this to the television audience--I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service. I have hearned every cent. And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I could say that in my years of public life, that Iwelcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got.
--Richard M. Nixon at Walt Disney World, Nov 17, 1973
