Politically, this is the biggest meeting that brings together the major nations of the West and Islam,

The United Nations is an indispensable but deeply flawed organization. It is valuable to the United States, and the United States is invaluable to it. We need to reform it.

We remain at peace with all nations, and no efforts on my part consistent with the preservation of our rights and the honor of the country shall be spared to maintain a position so consonant to our institutions.

We are finding that the President has surrounded himself with some capable and pretty knowledgeable people. I am comfortable that they will adequately be able to represent the issues.

It is obvious that we should not offer to produce what has not been asked for.

The government has a right to ask what the source of the money is, and be sure it isn't from the same crime he's being charged with.
