In 1969, one of the most urgent businesses facing him was finding a way to end the Vietnam War without allowing the government of South Vietnam to be defeated by Communists. Nixon decided to drop bombs on Cambodia. Some of the people in Congress were upset with his decision, saying that it seemed that he was making the unpopular war more widespread. Nixon answered that he was only trying to end the war swiftly. A year later he order troops to invade some areas in Cambodia where Communist troops were hiding in the jungle. This invasion started huge anti-war protests all over the United States. College students did most of the protesting destroying many college campus buildings by setting them on fire. The problem with the Communists in Vietnam had been past to Nixon by the three presidents before him, in which none of them could solve the problem. Another thing was the economy of America. Inf

On September 15, 1972, the first charges were made against seven people involved in the break-in. The FBI conducted several interviews with people, and concluded that no one in the White House was involved. In the month of October, an important Russian official, Andrei Gromyko, visited Washington. On October 3, he and Nixon signed the SALT agreement that Nixon presented to the Russian back when he visited Russia. The SALT agreement would limit the number of nuclear weapons built by both the United States and Russia. Later in that month, two stories would be printed in the Washington Post that would hurt Nixon in his final weeks of campaigning. One stated that one of Nixon's aides would hire a young attorney to play "dirty tricks" on the Democratic candidates and their families. The second story that was printed on October 25, by reporter Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, stated that Bob Haldeman, Nixon chief of staff, had a secret supply of cash to pay for the spying and dirty tricks. In the story, it suggested that some of the money was used to pay for the break-in at the Watergate Hotel. If true then this story would show that the money for the break-in came directly from the Nixon White House. The stories had very little effect on the 1972 election, because on Election Day Nixon defeated McGovern by the largest Republican lead recorded in history. Forty-nine of the fifty states voted for Nixon. The other two states, which were the District of Columbia and the state of Massachusetts voted for McGovern.

lation was at very high levels. People were losing their jobs. Nixon unlike any other Republican president made a big announcement on August 15, 1971. The prices of all good and service, and the wages of most Americans, would freeze for a period of ninety days. During the ninety days, stores could not raise the prices of any items sold in the store. Also, workers could not ask for raises or higher salaries. After the ninety day period, Nixon asked all Americans to follow the changes in the prices and the salaries very carefully. This request to the people, sounded like Nixon was trying to run the United States like a Communist government.
