The primary purpose of our foreign policy is to create and maintain a world environment within which our great experiment in freedom can survive and flourish.

We are deeply concerned, not only by such obvious tragedies as the war in Vietnam, but by the more subtle erosion in the focus and the morality of our foreign policy.

There must be bipartisan harmony and collaboration between the President and the Congress, and we must reestablish a spirit of common purpose among democratic nations.

I will work with our allies, some of whom are also selling arms, and also seek to work with the Soviets, to increase the emphasis on peace and to reduce the commerce in weapons of war.

We seek not a condominium of the powerful but a community of the free.

We simply must have an international policy of democratic leadership, and we must stop trying to play a lonely game of power politics.

What we seek is for our nation to have a foreign policy that reflects the decency and generosity and common sense of our own people.

I'm heavily committed to that, and I think my record as governor and as a state legislator would testify to that fact.

My first entry in the government life was as a member of a county school board.
