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.
And Heaven, that every virtue bears in mind, E'en to the ashes of the just is kind.
