It Is The Soviet Union That Runs

The Bill's A Textbook Example Of Special Interest Pork Barrel Politics At Work, And I Have No Choice But To Veto It.

It Is My Fervent Goal And Hope... That We Will Someday No Longer Have To Rely On Nuclear Weapons To Deter Aggression And Assure World Peace. To That End The United States Is Now Engaged In A Serious And Sustained Effort To Negotiate Major Reductions In Levels Of Offensive Nuclear Weapons With The Ultimate Goal Of Eliminating These Weapons From The Face Of The Earth.

But In The West Today, We See A Free World That Has Achieved A Level Of Prosperity And Well-being Unprecedented In All Human History. In The Communist World, We See Failure, Technological Backwardness, Declining Standards Of Health, Even Want Of The Most Basic Kind - Too Little Food. Even Today, The Soviet Union Still Cannot Feed Itself. After These Four Decades, Then, There Stands Before The Entire World One Great And Inescapable Conclusion: Freedom Leads To Prosperity. Freedom Replaces The Ancient Hatreds Among The Nations With Comity And Peace. Freedom Is The Victor.

I Call Upon The Scientific Community In Our Country, Those Who Gave Us Nuclear Weapons, To Turn Their Great Talents Now To The Cause Of Mankind And World Peace: To Give Us The Means Of Rendering These Nuclear Weapons Impotent And Obsolete.
