During The Day On Monday, Washington Time,

I Don't Know What The Future May Hold For Me-or For Any Of Us. But I Want You To Know That I Am A Man Who Likes Having Critics Who Are Not Enemies.

I Once Told You That I Am Not A Saint, And I Hope Never To See The Day That I Cannot Admit Having Made A Mistake. So I Will Close With Another Confession. Frequently, Along The Tortuous Road Of Recent Months From This Chamber To The Presidents House, I Protested That I Was My Own Man. Now I Realize That I Was Wrong. I Am Your Man, For It Was Your Carefully Weighed Confirmation That Changed My Occupation. The Truth Is I Am The Peoples Man, For You Acted In Their Name, And I Accepted And Began My New And Solemn Trust With A Promise To Serve All The People And Do The Best That I Can For America.

Sit Down Before Facts As A Little Child, Be Prepared To Give Up Every Preconceived Notion — Or You Shall Learn Nothing.

My Fellow Americans, Our Long National Nightmare Is Over.

I Do Believe That The Buck Stops Here, That I Cannot Rely Upon Public Opinion Polls To Tell Me What Is Right.
