Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations

A nation's budget is full of moral implications; it tells what a society cares about and what it does not care about; it tells what its values are.

In a democracy dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects.

There is nothing obscure about the objectives of educational exchange. Its purpose is to acquaint Americans with the world as it is and to acquaint students and scholars from many lands with America as it is-not as we wish it were or as we might wish foreigners to see it, but exactly as it is-which by my reckoning is an "image" of which no American need be ashamed.

It's quite obvious, without the all out support by the United States in money and weapons and so on the Israelis couldn't do what they've been doing. So we bear a very great share of the responsibility for the continuation of this...of this state of warfare.
