Ronald Reagan: “Your service on the Court, extending over 17 years, has set a high standard for your successors.”

I don't say that we're not prepared.

I expressed to President Gorbachev my confidence that the work we began together at Geneva in 1985 will continue under the Bush administration.

This is a great day.

I am delighted that later today I'll have the opportunity to welcome President Gorbachev to the United States and extend to him the hospitality and good wishes of the American people.
