But. But we'll
see. Ladies and gentlemen the president of the Presidium Supreme Soviet Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and a general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the president of the United States of America Jimmy Carter. The ETA. Thank. You. So.
Much. Oh.
Oh. Oh. We. Are now.
George Bush. Got a good video but now. He's going to let you know.
Yeah and I Sasha more than me so you. Don't know who that is so yes he is and I wrote and I wrote the review for the shift or portion thereof is certainly your last night's show and I was sure and yeah yeah but no problem I am I've got a show there. But right now this is not only us. Let me know.
That that's. What he's shit. The more
he's rich. But it's cool. But. But. This
will be the role of the president Carter and I have just affixed our signatures to the treaty on the limitation of strategic offensive arms. And related documents. This has been a very long awaited by the Soviet and American people by the peoples of other countries by all those who desire the durable peace. And realize the danger of a further build up of nuclear arsenals. And signing this treaty we are helping to defend the most sacred right of every individual the right to live. Many representatives of our two countries have worked long and hard to draft a treaty. I think it will be fair to specially mention the contributions made by Secretary Vance and minister Gromyko Secretary Brown and minister.
President Carter and I have also had to do a good deal of work to act in such a way as to prevent an outbreak of nuclear war is an obligation that the Soviet Union and the United States have jointly assumed the treaty that has been signed today reaffirms our desire to fulfill that obligation in terms of both quantitative and qualitative limitations of strategic arms. It goes far beyond the SALT 1 agreement the entry into force of this treaty opens up the possibility to begin elaborating subsequent measures to not only limit but also reduce strategic arms. By concluding the salt 2 treaty we are making a major step forward along the road of an overall improvement of Soviet American relations and consequently of the entire international climate
for the Soviet Union. This is a logical continuation of the peaceful foreign policy line. Defined by our party congresses a line that we intend to go on following the signing of the treaty has appropriately crowned the Soviet American summit meeting here in Vienna on this auspicious occasion. We express our sincere gratitude to the president the chancellor and the government of the Austrian Republic. And to the people of Austria. For the warm hospitality and cordiality.
