There is a gratitude throughout this country for the work you do, and a sensitivity to the burdens you bear.

I don't think there will really be a solution or the other forces leave Lebanon until the PLO does.

I lost patience a long time ago.

I think it is absolutely imperative that this cease-fire, at this stage of the negotiations, must not be violated by anyone.

Hispanics continue to make significant and enduring contributions to our society, enriching us intellectually, spiritually, and culturally.

The Soviets should not be afforded the additional security of a new long-term grain agreement as long as repression continues in Poland.

Grain sales have little impact on Soviet military and industrial capabilities.
