Murray Westgate: The President of the U.S.

Quotes 

• The President of the U.S : [making a speech about the crisis]  My fellow Americans: our country is faced today with a serious challenge. We have been asked, as a people, to make a decision so important that how the world evolves, the course it takes for the next century, will almost surely depend on what we decide. As your President, and with the valued counsel of the leaders of the Congress, the National Security Council, and the members of my cabinet, I have made that decision. My decision is to make it absolutely clear to those who would impose unreasonable and crippling restrictions on vital commerce... that such restrictions are unacceptable. To make a decision which would send a signal that is one whit less clear, less determined, would be to abdicate America's responsibilities to the free world.
