A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of governor of California from 1967 to 1975.

It is how much we have in common and the depth of our friendship that truly matters.

Creating a deadline by which United States Armed Forces would have to cease convoying or escorting certain vessels would encourage attacks on international shipping as soon as the United States withdraws.
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today 'cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.
Throughout this decade and in Moscow this week has helped bring mankind along the road of that pilgrimage.
