Putting up walls around our country is a prescription for ruin, not renewal.

Today American exports are the highest they've been in the entire history of the United States of America.

The best country in the world in terms of manufacturing costs.

I think is something that you have every reason to be proud of.

I urge the Congress to take the necessary action on this limited list in order to avoid these unnecessary expenditures of taxpayers' dollars.

We're going to pursue that and hope that well before my time is up we will have that resolved.

I'm not a linguist, but I have learned a Russian proverb that I use on him every once in awhile: Dovorey no provorey—trust but verify.

Peace through strength is very common sense.

I have said a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

I think the Lord has blessed me very much, and I am truly grateful to Him.

I think that our budgeting process that has led to the deficit spending over the last almost 60 years must be corrected.

I urge the Congress to review these items and rescind, repeal, or amend them as soon as possible.

I'm proud of that, and I hope that before I leave we can have some improvements in our budgeting process that will be adopted by our government.

I think that the old adage 'Go west young man' still holds true.

I think that peace comes through strength.

It was a false economic theory that was adopted by one of our two political parties.

I'm a great believer in a free press and the right of the people to know.

I believe the American people can see by this exercise why I have consistently appealed for a line-item veto.

I will remain neutral.
