Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The elimination of nuclear weapons is also the ultimate objective of the American government and the American people."

"Patience, strength, and unity—Western unity—will, therefore, be required if we're to have a successful outcome."

"Our moral imperative is to work with all our power for that day when the children of the world can grow up without the fear of nuclear war."

"We should have no illusions that this will be easy, since any venture of this magnitude will take time."
