Missing you.
The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger, The Secretary of State,

Dear Mr. Secretary:
I hereby resign the Office of Vice President of the United States, effective immediately.
Sincerely,
SPIRO T. AGNEW
The President, The White House, Washington, D.C.
October 10, 1973
Dear Mr. President:
As you are aware, the accusations against me cannot be resolved without a long, divisive and debilitating struggle in the Congress and in the Courts. I have concluded that, painful as it is to me and to my family, it is in the best interests of the Nation that I relinquish the Vice Presidency.
Accordingly, I have today resigned the Office of Vice President of the United States. A copy of the instrument of resignation is enclosed.
It has been a privilege to serve with you. May I express to the American people, through you, my deep gratitude for their confidence in twice electing me to be Vice President.
Sincerely,
SPIRO T. AGNEW
