Ronald Reagan actually said...

May I ask you to join me in a toast to President and Mrs. Jayewardene, and the prosperity of our relationship with Sri Lanka.

Tonight, however, is the first time that a Sri Lankan chief of state has been an official guest at the White House.

I do hereby proclaim June 13, 1984, as Harmon Killebrew Day.

Your visit has undoubtedly strengthened the bond between our two countries.
