"The major purpose of our country, obviously, is to continue to be the preservation of peace and the security of our country."

"I think there was an unanimous agreement that our commitments to NATO... will have to be sustained."

"Yes; if I am elected, we'll be ready with a complete post-election transitional plan."

"The careful planning, the broad scope of my effort, the complete commitment of myself and my family and supporters will be the same."
