We ought to do everything we can to decrease the spread of nuclear weapon capability.

I made a major speech on nuclear proliferation at the United Nations a couple of months ago.

The next President should move to reduce arms sales abroad.

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

I am determined that if I should become President that this would be well coordinated in the initial stages of the preparation of the budget for these major departments.

I don't favor at this point construction of the B-1 bomber.

For all practical purposes, atomic submarines are invulnerable.

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

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

I would like to retain, as much as possible, the personal interrelationship with voters.

I would choose the boring convention.

I think the Democrats, and indeed the nation, are looking for an end to distrust.

I will open up as much as I can of the deliberations of the Executive Branch of government to public scrutiny.

I think I can do a better job now of being aggressive and innovative and dynamic as a leader.

I can't imagine a basic strategic difference developing between myself and one of my Cabinet members if the understanding were that we worked toward the long-range goals.

I favor strong sunshine legislation, and I will pursue that aggressively through Executive order.
