Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Mr. Prime Minister, we're aware that your people are now faced with severe challenges brought on by international economic conditions."

"I want to express my personal admiration for your recognition of the contributions America makes to world peace."

"You can be proud that under your leadership, Singapore has not only moved forward economically, but it has also stood for democratic government, human rights, and international peace."

"Fortunately, Prime Minister Lee's sound judgment does not stop at the water's edge."
