The Amu Race: “I mjust as concerned as anyone is about the problem of nuclear arms in the world . . . We ought to stay in touch with the Soviets to see what might be practical grounds for talks. I believe normal diplomatic channels are the most effective. You can talk about meetings (between heads of state), but meetings in themselves may not do any good. That’s all very visible, but the main thing is to use whatever means are most practical.”
• Nuclear Freese: He opposes a “freeze” in the development of nuclear weapons. “I think we would be the only one to freeze anything.” Slaughter said the Soviets have never, in previous negotiations, agreed to satisfactory verification. “Is it verifiable? Could we have on-site inspections? What would happen if there were a violation? What sanctions would there be for enforcement?”
• The Middle East: “Israel is a valued friend ... in a region that is important for its location and mineral wealth. We’ve suffered grievous casualties there . . . We should always be willing to lend a hand, but the problems in the Middle East are so com-. plex, so volatile, so fragmented that no government is able to control much more than a small portion of the region. I donrth*tewny>fort«dk far lasting * paaaa.ia4h> Middle Fat ... But, 4 ■ doubt if the United States can influence events in Lebanon to any substantial degree . . . We need to watch the situation closely, but I basically don’t see that deployment of U.S. armed forces in the Middle East is going to be helpful.”
• Central America: “It is certainly appropriate” for the U.S. to send economic aid, weapons and military supplies and military advisors to Central American nations which “want to stay free of communist domination,” he said.
• Agriculture: “Agriculture needs free markets and a drop in interest rates. Basically I think what most fanners want and what would be best would be the free market determining prices. Agriculture is different from so many other businesses in so many ways. A single former has no influence cm the- market . . . Once people leave the form not many go back. We’ve already gotten below where we should be in the number of people involved in forming.”
