Nixon asks courts to decide Watergate guilt
President Nixon declared he was not involved in Watergate and urged the nation to let the courts determine guilt or innocence. He accepted responsibility for aides actions, defended not surrendering tapes, and criticized the Senate committee for not showing any knowledge of planning the break in. He said he learned the facts on March 21 and urged focus on other national and world challenges. Senator Goldwater cautioned the speech added little to past remarks.
