I am particularly hopeful that by working together with Japan, we will be able to make a substantial joint contribution to resolving the energy crisis.

We have much, much more to be thankful for.

Both sides will be entitled to have a certain agreed aggregate number of strategic delivery vehicles.

I believe we accomplished what we set out to achieve and perhaps more.

We are able to conduct our discussions in a businesslike and a constructive way.

Let us get on with the business of controlling arms.

We will continue to work together to strengthen our ties.

May I propose a toast to our joint search for solutions to the problems facing mankind.

The USA and the USSR also attach high importance to the negotiations on mutual reduction of forces and armaments.

The problems of food, population, and energy are not confined to any one country or to countries at an early stage of economic development.

The United States of America and the Soviet Union reaffirmed their determination to develop further their relations in the direction defined by the fundamental joint decisions and basic treaties and agreements concluded between the two…

We believe that such commercial and economic cooperation will serve the cause of increasing the stability of Soviet-American relations.

Cooperation between our two countries has intensified, both in tempo and, more importantly, in substance during the past few years.

Since I left Washington 8 days ago, I have traveled some 17,000 miles for the purpose of peace and not a single step toward war.

America is a strong country; Americans are very strong people.

I thank you all very, very much for coming out this evening and welcoming us so very warmly.

We are convinced that a long-term agreement on this question would be a significant contribution to improving relations between the US and the USSR.

The results of the talks provided a convincing demonstration of the practical value of Soviet-American summit meetings.

They were the beginning of what I hope will be a productive personal relationship between Mr. Brezhnev and myself.

I personally reaffirm that pledge to you now.

The world has been accustomed in recent years to regular meetings between the leaders of the Soviet Union and the American people.

Both sides will be entitled to have a certain agreed aggregate number of ICBMs and SLBMs equipped with multiple independently targetable warheads (MIRVs).

We will continue to exert vigorous efforts to achieve this historic task.

What you are doing here is something that is not only good for the Army and good for the others in the Defense Department but it is good for America.

I am here, Mr. President, to reaffirm our friendship and to give it new life and meaning.
