Ronald Reagan: “I'm going to sign the proclamation now, but as I sign it, I am commemorating not only the great navigator and explorer…”

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.

America's freedom does not belong to just one nation.

If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.

This is a great day.
