Ronald Reagan: “For 6 months, inflation has been running at an annualized rate of only 3.2 percent.”

Neither treaty has been ratified because they were not verifiable in their original form.

We understood the key to prosperity was low-inflationary growth, and we achieved it.

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

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.
