How do we deal with the Soviet Union? How do we deal with Gorbachev? And if I understand anything in the 27 years I've been in the Congress, it is that the Soviets understand strength. And the reason they came back to the table to talk about intermediate nuclear weapons is Ronald Reagan stuck with his guns on the SDI program. So we're not looking for any armed conflict. Bob Dole's not looking for any armed conflict. I'm looking for peace.
