In the Middle East,
100 million people in the Arab countries,
many of
whom have considered us
their enemy for nearly 20 years,
now look on us
as their friends.
We must continue to build
We must continue to build
on that friendship so that
peace
can settle at last over the Middle East
and so that the cradle of
civilization
will not become its grave.
August 8, 1974
