    		I don't find where he made that exact statement. Nevertheless, Nixon did make statements along those same lines.

    Taken from "The Silent Majority" Speech

    November 3, 1969

    NIXON: "I had to think of the effect of my decision (Re: Nam) on the next generation and on the future of peace and freedom in America and in the world."
