I expressed to President Gorbachev my confidence that the work we began together at Geneva in 1985 will continue under the Bush administration.

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

But there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.

I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.
