2. The material foundation of our good relations is becoming stronger too. The volume of trade has increased several times over during the last two years; and several important long-term contracts have been signed. At the same time, we all know that much remains to be done here--both in the sense of making econo- mic ties more balanced and stable, and in the sense of clearly establishing the principles of equality and respect for each other's interests in this area of relations. Credit is certainly due to those far-sighted members of the business community of the United States who correctly understood the mutually advantageous nature of the development of economic ties between our countries and their importance for both our peoples and who actively support their government's line in this matter. The biggest contribution, however, which we, Soviet and U.S. statesmen of the seventies of the 20th century, can make to the cause of greater well-being and happiness for our peoples and for all mankind is undoubtedly the reduction--and subsequently the complete removal--of the possibility of war between our two states. To ensure stable peace between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. is the chief task in the development of Soviet-American relations. And the leaders of both countries are continuing to devote unflag- ging attention to its solution. For everything useful that we can achieve in this direction future generations will remember us with kind words. If we fail to solve this task, however, all other achi vements in the development of mutual relations may lose their significance. The new Soviet-American summit meeting, as it is usually called, is a new step in the great endeavor which we jointly
