It will help to decide whether we have war or peace.

Our only hope is that the two nations can resolve the disputes between them peacefully.

We urge that all involved make every effort to observe the cease-fire accepted on the 30th of September.

I call urgently on all involved to negotiate a permanent end to the cycle of confrontations which has gone on far too long and at such a heavy cost in innocent lives.

The search for peace in the Middle East must be guided by the following:—The agreed basis for a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Israel and its neighbors is United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, in all its parts.

Our hope is that the Somalians might call publicly for negotiations to begin immediately to resolve the Ogaden dispute.

The other universal theme is a need to resolve conflict without violence, to make peace instead of war.

We declare that war is not an acceptable means to settle political disputes.

We want peace to return.

True peace is more than an absence of battle; it is also the absence of prejudice and the triumph of understanding.

I have spent most of my time in the last 2 years working for peace.

The United States is making every effort to bring this conflict to a very swift and honorable conclusion, measured in days not weeks.

Communication between peoples, I very sincerely believe having taken some role in opening communications with other nations in the world over the past 4 1/2 years, I believe that as we increase communication between peoples at all levels, the opportunity of discussing differences rather than fighting about differences is greatly increased.

We look forward to our talks, to get your judgment as to how all nations can contribute to the goal of not simply an end to the fighting which is going on now but to building a new structure of peace in the Mideast.

Finally, we must seek ways to insure that the oceans remain an avenue of peaceful cooperation rather than an arena of tension-filled confrontation.

Our people are now at peace for the first time in more than a decade.

We want peace that will last, not peace that will be simply for a little while.

A structure of peace has to be built in such a way that all those who might be tempted to destroy it will instead have a stake in preserving it.
