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.

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.

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

East-West relations will be both cooperative and competitive for a long time to come.

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.

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

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

Those acts would never be weakened while I'm in the White House.

I would like to reduce drastically the number of categorical aid programs.

I believe that with the purpose expressed by the teaching profession... whatever obstacles are there can be substantially eliminated.

I think that my success in the primaries have been an indication that what I've just outlined to you is similar to what the American people want.
