I Had A Lot Of Experience With

My Goal Is For A Cooperative World At Peace, Using Its Resources To Build, Not To Destroy.

A Strong Defense Is The Surest Way To Peace. Strength Makes Detente Attainable. Weakness Invites War, As My Generation - My Generation - Knows From Four Very Bitter Experiences. Just As America's Will For Peace Is Second To None, So Will America's Strength Be Second To None. We Cannot Rely On The Forbearance Of Others To Protect This Nation. The Power And Diversity Of The Armed Forces, Active Guard And Reserve, The Resolve Of Our Fellow Citizens, The Flexibility In Our Command To Navigate International Waters That Remain Troubled Are All Essential To Our Security.

There Is No Soviet Domination Of Eastern Europe And There Never Will Be Under A Ford Administration.... The United States Does Notconcede That Those Countries Are Under The Domination Of The Soviet Union.

The Power And Diversity Of The Armed Forces, Active Guard And Reserve, The Resolve Of Our Fellow Citizens, The Flexibility In Our Command To Navigate International Waters That Remain Troubled Are All Essential To Our Security.

Let Us Remember That Our National Unity Is A Most Priceless Asset.
