Ronald Reagan: “What we need is a campaign for truth that will give us the freedom to communicate and share our beliefs.”

I do hereby proclaim December 17, 1988, as Wright Brothers Day.

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.

Let us always take with us the spirit of vision, skill, and excellence.

The strength of our nation has never been with the Washington colony but with the American people.
