The bottom line is the Soviet embargo was bad for our farmers, bad for our economy, but not that bad for the aggressors we were supposedly going to punish.

We're fully committed to do this.

American farmers are survivors.

We invest more in research and development than any other country.

Farm prices go up, and farm prices go down.

I look for cooperation between the United States and these and other rapidly developing countries to expand as their capabilities grow.

The United States remains the world's leader in science and technology.

International cooperation is not simply synonymous with Federally-sponsored cooperation.

I would like to appeal directly to President Brezhnev to join with us in a genuine and intensive search for a peaceful resolution of the tragic conflict in Afghanistan.

We cannot accept the transparent Soviet rationale for their invasion of Afghanistan.

The war against Soviet aggression is a hard and lonely struggle.

The tragedy of Afghanistan must not be allowed to drag on endlessly.
