Trade is one of the doors to that open world.

I reject this argument not only because I believe in the principle of freer trade, but also for a very simple and pragmatic reason: any reduction in our imports produced by U.S. restrictions not accepted by our trading partners would…

I have stated that for our part we will be guided by the concept of maintaining 'sufficiency' in the forces required to protect ourselves and our allies.

As I stated in my address to the United Nations, we are prepared to deal with the issues seriously, carefully, and purposefully.

Such a result is possible if we approach these negotiations recognizing the legitimate security interests on each side.

Here it is a sense of not just the sight and the picture but of feeling it--feeling the great experience of all that is happening.

Any increases in appropriations that permit spending beyond that level must be offset by equivalent reductions, either by the Congress or by the executive branch.

I direct you to make no commitments at this time which will lead to spending in excess of the 1970 outlay ceiling which the Director of the Bureau of the Budget communicated to you at my direction.

Those predictions of division on the great issues of national security and foreign policy proved to be wrong.

Unsuccessful correctional programs must be abandoned.
