As Good As Its People: on Homeland Security


Jimmy Carter: Eliminate all nuclear weapons from this earth

We are a strong nation and we will maintain strength so sufficient that it need not be proven in combat--a quiet strength based not merely on the size of an arsenal not on the nobility of ideas.

The world is still engaged in a massive armaments race designed to insure continuing equivalent strength among potential adversaries. We pledge perseverance and wisdom in our efforts to limit the world’s armaments to those necessary for each nation’s domestic safety. We will move this year a step toward our ultimate goal--the elimination of all nuclear weapons from this earth.

We urge all other people to join us, for success can mean life instead of death.
