Ronald Reagan: “I wish we were still as civilized.”

I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

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.

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

America is the shining city on the hill. Welcome all who enter to follow their dreams.
