would have been improper for me to comment on these matters. 1451 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,715 But tonight I am free to tell you 1452 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:19,554 what happened and to say what it means to me. 1453 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:22,597 On the weekend of July 18th... 1454 01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:25,869 I was on Martha's Vineyard Island participating 1455 01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,634 with my cousin, Joseph Gargan, 1456 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:32,153 as for 30 years my family has participated 1457 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,758 in the annual Edgartown sailing regatta. 1458 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:40,389 Only reasons of health prevented my wife from accompanying me. 1459 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,670 On Chappaquiddick Island off Martha's Vineyard, 1460 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:51,114 I attended on Friday evening, July 18th, a cookout 1461 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:53,557 I had encouraged and helped sponsor 1462 01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,117 for a devoted group of Kennedy campaign secretaries. 1463 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:01,270 When I left the party around 11:15 pm, 1464 01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:03,956 I was accompanied by one of these girls, 1465 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:06,438 Miss Mary Jo Kopechne. 1466 01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,268 Mary Jo was one of the most devoted members of the staff 1467 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,271 of Senator Robert Kennedy. 1468 01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,996 She worked for him for four years and was broken up over his death. 1469 01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:21,556 For this reason and because she was such a gentle, kind and idealistic person, 1470 01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,119 all of us tried to help her feel that she still had a home 1471 01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:26,474 with the Kennedy family. 1472 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:30,636 There is no truth, no truth whatever, 1473 01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:34,556 to the widely circulated suspicions of immoral conduct 1474 01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:38,997 that have been leveled at my behavior and hers regarding that evening. 1475 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,791 I know nothing in Mary Jo's conduct 1476 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,038 on that or any other occasion, 1477 01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,960 and the same is true for the other girls at that party, 1478 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,752 that would lend any substance to such ugly speculation 1479 01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:52,558 about their character. 1480 01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:55,949 Nor was I driving under the influence of liquor. 1481 01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:58,913 We should get back. 1482 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,752 [Ted] Little over a mile away, 1483 01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,031 the car that I was driving on an unlit road 1484 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,068 went off a narrow bridge which had no guardrails 1485 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,473 and was built on a left angle to the road. 1486 01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:11,996 The car overturned in a deep pond 1487 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:13,798 and immediately filled with water. 1488 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,272 I remember thinking, as the cold water rushed in around my head, 1489 01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,113 that I was for certain drowning. 1490 01:35:21,480 --> 01:35:24,074 But somehow I struggled to surface alive. 1491 01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,879 Made immediate and repeated efforts to save Mary Jo-- 1492 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,713 ...succeeded only in increasing my state of utter exhaustion. 1493 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:33,156 My conduct during the next several hours 1494 01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:35,151 makes no sense to me at all. 1495 01:35:35,440 --> 01:35:39,672 My doctors informed me that I suffered a cerebral concussion as well as shock. 1496 01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:42,634 I walked back to the cottage where the party was being held 1497 01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:44,472 and requested the help of two friends, 1498 01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:46,915 my cousin Joseph Gargan and Paul Markham. 1499 01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,276 Their strenuous efforts also proved futile. 1500 01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:52,191 Ihad them take me to the ferry crossing. 1501 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:53,633 This was some time afier midnight. 1502 01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:55,153 The ferry having shut down for the night, 1503 01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:56,719 I suddenly jumped into the water 1504 01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:59,075 and impulsively swam across, 1505 01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:02,277 nearly drowning once again in the effort. 1506 01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:04,951 I regard as indefensible 1507 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:09,638 the fact that I did not report the accident to the police immediately. 1508 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:15,318 All kinds of scrambled thoughts which I cannot recall, 1509 01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,675 some of them confused, some of them irrational, 1510 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:19,557 went through my mind. 1511 01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,917 I was overcome by a jumble of emotions. 1512 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,912 Grief, fear, doubt, 1513 01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,632 exhaustion, panic, confusion. 1514 01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:32,274 I remember thinking, whether somehow 1515 01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:37,798 some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys. 1516 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,349 These events, the publicity, 1517 01:36:46,440 --> 01:36:49,238 innuendo and whispers which have surrounded them, 1518 01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:51,717 and my admission of guilt this morning, 1519 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,510 raises the question in my mind 1520 01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,355 of whether my standing among the people of my state 1521 01:36:57,440 --> 01:37:01,274 has been so impaired that I should resign my seat 1522 01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:03,472 in the United States Senate. 1523 01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:09,393 The stories of past courage cannot supply courage itself. 1524 01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:13,959 For this, each man must look into his own soul. 1525 01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:19,431 And so I ask you tonight, the people of Massachusetts, 1526 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:21,638 to think this through with me. 1527 01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:25,757 In facing this decision, I seek your advice and opinion. 1528 01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,069 In making it, I seek your prayers. 1529 01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,795 For this is a decision that I will finally have to make on my own. 1530 01:37:37,480 --> 01:37:41,029 I pray that I can have the courage to make the right decision. 1531 01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:44,508 Whatever is decided, 1532 01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,470 whatever the future holds for me, 1533 01:37:48,440 --> 01:37:54,993 I hope that I shall be able to put this most recent tragedy behind me. 1534 01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,314 Thank you and good night. 1535 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,514 What do you think about Senator Kennedy's accident 1536 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:18,272 and his statement last night? Did you see it on television? 1537 01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:19,952 -Yes, I did see it. -What did you think? 1538 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,799 Well, I was quite impressed by it. 1539 01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:25,394 I think it's a tough break for the guy. The guy‘s a good guy. 1540 01:38:25,480 --> 01:38:27,755 He tried to help the girl and he's all mixed up. 1541 01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:29,632 He's always had tough breaks. The family and everything. 1542 01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:30,550 I'm in favor of him. 1543 01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:34,030 Well, I feel if it was anybody else, they would have hung him. 1544 01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,270 I think he should quit. Quit his job right now. 1545 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:39,238 Hell, if a guy's drinking, those things can happen all the time. 1546 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:40,833 [reporter] What makes you think he was drinking? 1547 01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:42,918 Well, you don't go to a party and no drinking. 1548 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,151 I mean, there's more to it than what we know, I believe, you know? 1549 01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:48,238 But I actually would vote for him. 1550 01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:51,517 -Would you vote for him again? -I certainly would. Definitely. 1551 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,909 There's a lot of things missing that I didn't understand. 1552 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,355 But, like, as the story progressed, you know, 1553 01:38:56,440 --> 01:38:59,398 you hear different versions and you make your own opinions. 1554 01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:01,553 What was your final opinion? 1555 01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:06,428 That he really was, you know... He didn't remember what he really did. 1556 01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:07,794 That he's telling the truth. 1557 01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:10,480 Would you vote for him? Do you think he should be the president? 1558 01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,276 Oh, I'm not qualified to say that. I really don't know. 1559 01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:14,873 I think I would vote for him, though. 1560 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:16,188 [reporter] Would you vote for him again? 1561 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:17,998 [man 1] Yes, lreally would.

I hope he stays a United States senator. 1564 01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:24,670 [reporter] Would you vote for him? [man 5] I certainly would. 1565 01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:27,320 [crowd cheering] 1566 01:39:29,440 --> 01:39:33,592 [Ted] There is a new wave of change all around us. 1567 01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:36,679 And if we set our compass true, 1568 01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,357 we will reach our destination. 1569 01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:43,960 The work begins anew. 1570 01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,388 The hope rises again 1571 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,235 and the dream lives on. 1572 01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:51,992 [crowd cheering] 1573 01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,714 [crowd chanting] Teddy!
