...agree to discuss certain kinds of guarantees, provided that such guarantees are equal on the Arab side and the Israeli side. All this must be within the framework of a just and peaceful solution. For example, if [that] solution requires the presence of a United Nations observer force or a U.N. emergency force on the line that divides the two parties, then we are willing to discuss this, provided that the presence is on both sides of the line. Again, it is possible to discuss the idea of a demilitarized zone, provided it is of narrow limits and on both...
...document as the one stipulated in U.N. resolutions, which indicates the transfer from a state of war to a state of peace; namely, a document ending the state of belligerency.

The second Sinai disengagement agreement defused the Israeli-Egyptian front...
...plan to start working with business and labor leaders to establish a framework for voluntary wage and price restraints. I would like to move as far as I can toward this goal on a strictly voluntary basis. Perhaps that would be adequate for the whole four years. I will also work with the congressional leaders immediately, and obviously with business and labor, on rapidly expanding job opportunities, particularly in those areas which require minimum federal funding. The housing industry is one that cries out to be revitalized, and I would do everything I possibly could with homes for the elderly...
