Let us lay aside our arms and sit down together at the table of reason.

We would rather talk than fight.

We must be ready to defend the national interest and to negotiate the common interest.

An agreement so close to settlement should not be jeopardized by failure to resolve these open issues.

IT IS my understanding that tentative agreement has been reached on all but approximately five issues in your dispute.

If we are to secure peace in the 1960's, if we ever hope to negotiate an effective arms control agreement, we must act immediately.

I don't believe you can talk your way into peace.

I am convinced that the Soviet Union will come to recognize that it is in its own interest to negotiate a settlement which respects the right to freedom of the German people and the interests of both East and West.

You are going to meet, try to discover whether you believe the other people are sincerely hoping to relieve tensions.

The details will be worked out at a later date, but I think we are both happy and satisfied that the meeting took place.

Everything that is possible is being done, just as was done in the case of Vogeler, and as has been done in the case of the Archbishop.

We have been using every effort possible to bring about a settlement, and we will continue to do just that.

In the cultural field, it has also been agreed to enter upon the negotiation at an early date of a cultural convention between Ecuador and the United States to improve and broaden the cultural relations between the two countries.

I hope the thing will be settled to the satisfaction of both parties.

If they come in for that purpose, I will discuss it with them.

Yes. If I didn't think so, we wouldn't continue the conversations.

The government draws upon the personnel of its Foreign Service throughout the world for much in the way of information, negotiation, and tactful relationships.

We have no formal matters under discussion.
