I have absolutely no doubt that I have made the right decision.

I accept it, in the words of John F. Kennedy, with a full and grateful heart.

I feel a very heavy responsibility on my shoulders in that I might very well be helping to choose the next President of our country if I should be successful in being elected, and I recognize that very clearly, yes.

I had no other way to get to know them.

I do not think there is any contrast or supplementation to cause a difference of attitude toward basic political philosophy or stands on the politician spectrum.

I think collection of information ought to be the primary role of the CIA.

I personally think that the oversight committee of Congress ought to be a joint committee.

It will be a personal decision of mine.

I think that in my opinion, if I were still the Governor of Georgia, and I was invited to meet with a potential Presidential nominee as a prospective Vice President, I would consider it as an honor and not as an insult.

I think there are a lot of Senators that would not have been willing, particularly with aspirations to be President, to handle the CIA question.

It is undoubtedly the most important decision that I shall make this year, perhaps one of the most important of my whole life.

I wanted the Vice President to be in charge of women's rights, amnesty, abortion, gun control, Gay liberation.

Yes; I do.

I think abortion is wrong, and I think that within the present ruling of the Supreme Court that everything possible should be done to minimize the need for abortions, and I will do that.

I have a great admiration for him, and I also have observed very carefully, when he and I met on the campaign trail, that he often beat me.

I think that his extremely great success in the primaries of which he did enter as a candidate showed that even in very conservative states like Nebraska his role in the CIA investigations was certainly not a detriment politically, but it…

I would want to be personally responsible to the American people as President for the proper performance of the intelligence-gathering network of our nation.

It has been a very constructive thing for me.
