We have agreed as follows:

Let me assure you that in this negotiation, as we work for the legitimate rights of the Palestinians, that we will countenance no action which could hurt Israel's security.

All the hostages must be released unharmed.

I hope that all sides participating in the conversations will work constructively to develop an enduring, democratic solution.

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 best way to ensure friendship between us and Panama is to go ahead and ratify the treaties that we have negotiated in good faith.

The basic negotiation ought to take place between those two nations themselves.

They will always exercise restraint in their mutual relations, and will be prepared to negotiate and settle differences by peaceful means.

Our purpose in the Soviet Union is to open a new era of negotiation and cooperation between our two great powers.

However, when the enemy abandons all restraint, throws its whole army into battle in the territory of its neighbor, refuses to negotiate, we simply face a new situation.

The answer is: When agreements are reached in which all parties bargain hard and fight hard for their position, when that agreement is mutually reached, then it is an agreement which is to the mutual benefit of both.

Despite the other side's abrupt rejection of our proposals they remain in effect.

I am sure our talks will contribute toward that end.

And when they do, I will be the first one at that table--wherever it is.

We have not made any hard and fast decisions today, although we have explored many of the interests of our respective people.

I want to negotiate.

We will be glad to meet anyone more than halfway, insofar as talking instead of fighting is concerned.

We expressed our great desire at any time, any place, to transfer our difficulties from the battlefield to the conference room.
