That was something I had to prevent ⟳ if I possibly could. I was determined not to appear ⟳ to have ⟳ resigned the presidency because of a consensus of staff or Cabinet opinion or because of public pressure from the people around me. For me and no less for the country, I believed that my resignation had to be seen as something that I had decided upon completely on my own ⟳.”
