The order we now have is the one we plan to stand on.

It will curb the spread of nuclear weapons to other countries, thereby holding out hope for a more peaceful and stable world.

We want the war to be won, the Communists to be contained, and the Americans to go home.

I think we are going at about the right tempo.

I plan to address the United Nations General Assembly later this month.

The fact of the matter is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff favored this treaty, and the Secretary of Defense favored it.

It is now a national responsibility.

I want to express a warm welcome to the ladies and gentlemen here who are commonly concerned with this great national effort to raise $50 million for the United Negro College Fund.

Education is the key, knowledge is power.

I am not sure that I accept that test.

It is not only safe but necessary, in the interest of this country and the interest of mankind, that this treaty should now be approved, and the hope for peace which it offers firmly sustained, by the Senate of the United States.

Underground nuclear testing, which is permitted under the treaty, will be vigorously and diligently carried forward, and the equipment, facilities, personnel and funds necessary for that purpose will be provided.

We do not recognize, and we do not intend to recognize, the Soviet occupation zone of East Germany as a state or as an entity possessing national sovereignty, or to recognize the local authorities as a government.

The United States retains the right to resume atmospheric testing forthwith if the Soviet Union should conduct tests in violation of the treaty.

The treaty in no way limits the authority of the Commander-in-Chief to use nuclear weapons for the defense of the United States and its allies, if a situation should develop requiring such a grave decision.

I think the balance of power still rests with the West, and I think it can increase our strength if we make the right decisions this year, economically, here at home and in the field of foreign policy.

I don’t think we think that would be helpful at this time.

The fact of the matter is that, of course, Government expenditures do go up in every administration, but the country's wealth goes up.

I think the situation in this country calls for a tax reduction this year.

We don't start off with a compromise.
