Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
General James Mattoon Scott:
I think the signing of a nuclear disarmament pact with the Soviet Union is at best an act of naiveté and at worst an unsupportable negligence. We've stayed alive because we've built up an arsenal, and we've kept the peace because we've dealt with an enemy who knew we would use that arsenal. And now we're asked to believe that a piece of paper will take the place of missile sites and Polaris submarines, and that an enemy who hasn't honored one solemn treaty in the history of its existence will now, for our convenience, do precisely that. I have strong doubts, gentlemen.

I think the signing of a nuclear disarmament pact
00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:07.799
with the Soviet union is at best an act of naivete
00:00:08.997 --> 00:00:11.998
and at worst an insupportable negligence
00:00:11.219 --> 00:00:13.638
We've stayed alive because we've built up an arsenal
00:00:13.847 --> 00:00:15.849
and we've kept the peace because we've dealt
00:00:16.999 --> 00:00:18.393
with an enemy who knew we would use that arsenal
00:00:18.601 --> 00:00:20.052
Now we're asked to believe
00:00:20.728 --> 00:00:23.189
that a piece of paper will take the place
00:00:23.398 --> 00:00:25.984
of missile sites and Polaris submarines
00:00:26.192 --> 00:00:28.153
and that an enemy who hasn't honored one solemn treaty
00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:29.571
in the history of its existence
00:00:29.779 --> 00:00:33.324
will now for our convenience do precisely that
00:00:33.533 --> 00:00:35.001
I have strong doubts
