Sida 164 - Constitution, considered only for its affirmative grants of powers which are capable of affecting the issue, is an invitation to struggle for the privilege of directing American foreign policy.
Sida 308 - The actions I authorized were, and continue to be, in full compliance with Federal law. And the relevant committees of Congress are being, and will be, fully informed.
Sida 183 - States involved in intelligence activities may be obligated or expended for the purpose or which would have the effect of supporting, directly or indirectly, military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua by any nation, group, organization, movement, or individual.
Sida 165 - A legislative, an executive, and a judicial power comprehend the whole of what is meant and understood by government. It is by balancing each of these powers against the other two, that the efforts in human nature towards tyranny can alone be checked and restrained, and any degree of freedom preserved in the Constitution.
Sida 149 - Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent.

It is apparent that they, evidently, have either some persuasion — and they don't always succeed — but they can sometimes persuade or pressure the Hizballah into doing what they did in this instance. And as I say, the Iranian Government had no hostages, and they bought a shipment from us. And we, in turn — I might...
Sida 201 - The CIA would then purchase the weapons from the Department of Defense and deliver the weapons to Iran through the agent.
Sida 313 - We, as I say, have nothing to do with other countries or their shipment of arms or doing what they're doing. And no, as a matter of fact, the first ideas about the need to restore relations between Iran and the United States or the Western world, for that matter, actually began before your Administration was here. . . . "I don't think a mistake was made. It was a high-risk gamble and it was a gamble that was, as I've said, I believe the circumstances warranted. And I don't see that it has been a...
Sida 199 - To achieve the strategic goal of a more moderate Iranian government, the Israelis are prepared to unilaterally commence selling military materiel to Western-oriented Iranian factions.
