The controls are essential to achieve U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.

We must show the Soviet Union that it cannot expect to continue to do business as usual with the United States while it is invading and occupying an independent nation.

I can't predict the early end of that situation.

No. Neither I nor the American people would support the sending of an American team to Moscow with Soviet invasion troops in Afghanistan.

I've never doubted the long-range policy or the long-range ambitions of the Soviet Union.

It is my belief that many of the responsible officials in Iran now see that this major threat to Iran's security and the peace of Iran is becoming paramount.

No one understands better than they the meaning of sacrifice to achieve worthy goals.

This in my opinion is the most serious threat to world peace since the Second World War.

I regard the Soviet invasion and the attempted suppression of Afghanistan as a serious violation of international law and an extremely serious threat to world peace.

We have always had a very complicated relationship with the Soviet Union.

The most important task of world leaders, public and private, is to deter aggression and prevent war.

We want a stable and independent Iran, and we want a secure Iran.

I would not favor the sending of an American Olympic team to Moscow while the Soviet invasion troops are in Afghanistan.

I urge the USOC to propose that the Games either be transferred to another site such as Montreal or to multiple sites, or be cancelled for this year.

We've not been weak.

I share your concern.

I do not consider this to be a campaign forum, 'Meet the Press,' and I'm not here as a partisan candidate.

We must make clear to the Soviet Union that it cannot trample upon an independent nation and at the same time do business as usual with the rest of the world.

William O. Douglas breathed the bracing air of freedom.

Justice Douglas loved the outdoors with the same intensity he brought to his love of political liberty.

I am ordering that the flag of our country be flown at halfstaff on all installations of the United States Government.

The essential scheme of our Constitution and Bill of Rights was to take Government off the backs of people.

He was fiercely certain that the simple words of the Bill of Rights were meant to protect the humblest citizen from any exercise of arbitrary power.

For all that time, individual freedom in this country had no mightier champion.
