The United States will henceforth view arms transfers as an exceptional foreign policy implement.

It is important that the remedy achieve the maximum benefit for domestic producers or workers while having the minimum impact on consumers.

The virtually unrestrained spread of conventional weaponry threatens stability in every region of the world.

The United States, as a condition of sale for certain weapons, may stipulate that we will not entertain any requests for retransfers.

Expected higher sales and profits should encourage American companies to expand production here and to invest in the latest available machinery.

I believe that the United States must take steps to restrain its arms transfers.

I believe that the United States can and should take the first step.

We will not be the first supplier to introduce into a region newly developed, advanced weapons systems.

An orderly marketing agreement with Japan will considerably moderate the significantly increased exports from Japan which occurred in 1976.

I will nominate Robert L. Nelson, of Washington, D.C., to be Assistant Secretary of the Army.

I'm very proud to present this morning the maximum award to Mr. Guzick that can be presented under the Employee Incentive Program of the Federal Government.

The absence of adequate recognition is something that I hope can be alleviated.

I believe in 1954, the Government established a procedure by which distinguished employees could be rewarded for suggestions or inventions that saved the American taxpayers tremendous amounts of money.

I think it will be a major step forward in our country in resolving some of the questions that cause so much dissension and so much distrust in the months gone by.

Perhaps we ought to devise another incentive reward for somebody who can come up with an idea of not withholding taxes when such an award is presented.

This is a very delicate question.

I think it's a tribute to Mr. Guzick, but also in some ways, this is a tribute to all the superlative civil servants that work for our Government.

This is a saving of about $10 1/2 million to the Federal Government.
