Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The administration has no objection to enactment of H.R. 87."

"I have appointed this distinguished Board, because it fulfills my commitment to get the facts and share them with the American people."

"The bill's unilateral termination of aid to the Nicaraguan democratic resistance would deprive the administration of one of the most critical elements of leverage it has with the Sandinistas."

"I intend to read and digest it first, think carefully about its findings, and promptly act on its recommendations."
