I am determined that if I should become President that this would be well coordinated in the initial stages of the preparation of the budget for these major departments.

The next President should move to reduce arms sales abroad.

I made a major speech on nuclear proliferation at the United Nations a couple of months ago.

For all practical purposes, atomic submarines are invulnerable.

I think there was an unanimous agreement that our commitments to NATO... will have to be sustained.

I don't favor at this point construction of the B-1 bomber.

We ought to do everything we can to decrease the spread of nuclear weapon capability.

The major purpose of our country, obviously, is to continue to be the preservation of peace and the security of our country.

The careful planning, the broad scope of my effort, the complete commitment of myself and my family and supporters will be the same.

I think there'll be a shift toward foreign policy.

Yes; if I am elected, we'll be ready with a complete post-election transitional plan.

I would like to retain, as much as possible, the personal interrelationship with voters.

I think the Presidency itself is such a powerful office that there is no reason to feel threatened.

I would choose the boring convention.

I can't say that any more.

I believe I could prevent that disharmony occurring by being more heavily involved in the evolution of basic commitments.

I think the best approach is to buy what's necessary to meet the strategic security needs of our country and to meet our legitimate obligations to our allies.

I will open up as much as I can of the deliberations of the Executive Branch of government to public scrutiny.
