A strong America is essential to maintaining world peace.
I have instructed Mr. St. Clair to take whatever measures are necessary to comply with that decision in all respects
I hope and trust that I will contribute to strengthening rather than weakening this principle for the future
What you do, each and every one of you, will matter.
