On the recordJune 19, 1997
Let us look at these elements very briefly in the time that we have. I think it is absolutely right; what are we defending? Then, on the domestic front, we have the grandest civilization ever known in the history of mankind. That is what we are defending, and we have interests all over this world, whether they be moral interests, or whether they be trade interests or other economic interests. So we must maintain a strong domestic pattern in our life. Second, the foreign policy. As my friend from California says, we must be engaging in the world, and we engaging in the world. I think we are doing a fair job of that, whether it be by diplomacy, or whether it be by military, whether it be by economics, whether it be by trade. We are the sole surviving superpower, and our foreign policy has brought us to that point.
