“The gentleman would probably be interested in knowing that the day after Scharansky met with Ronald Reagan, I was in the Israeli Embassy at a reception honoring Scharansky, and through the crowd, he was the honored guest, he walked straight toward me and he came up to me and he said, I understand that you write Ronald Reagan's speeches and I said yes, that is true, and he said, I have often wondered who you are. Well, he knew that some people were behind Ronald Reagan and working with him to try to make sure that we took these bold stands and beat back the bureaucracy and the elitists in every country that would say, oh, do not make moral stands, do not make a stand of morality and a stand for freedom because it will rock the boat. But he knew, ever as a prisoner in the gulag, that I was there and other people were there. Today it is the same thing. Although they do not know us by name, they know that there are American people everywhere throughout our country who believe in the cause that George Washington talked about on the 4th of July, believe in what Thomas Jefferson was talking about and James Madison and our Founding Fathers when they started a country on a Declaration of Independence and a declaration that talked about the individual rights that are a gift of God to all people.”
