"failure to continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy Community would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement of the United States nonproliferation objectives"

"They will find out very quickly that it isn't because—no, what we're doing is not prevented by any treaty—research, there it is."

"Much has been achieved in only four years, but this huge task is not completed."

"The only defense that we have are two sides sitting here with increasing numbers of these weapons saying that our defense is that if you blow our people up, we'll blow your people up."
