Ronald Reagan actually said...

President Machel led his people with courage and unfailing determination in the long struggle for Mozambique's independence and nonalignment...

President Machel understood the urgent need for cooperation in the interest of peace in southern Africa.

I wish to extend to the Government and people of Mozambique the condolences of the American people in the loss they have suffered.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 19, 1986, as Gaucher's Disease Awareness Week.
