Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Lengthening the minimum offering period would deter all types of takeovers, encourage defensive restructuring, and diminish the benefits of the market for corporate control."

"We're grateful for all the hard work you've done."

"I can't thank you enough, and without you, I don't think we'd be where we are today."

"Unsolicited corporate mergers and acquisitions improve efficiency, promote the productive use of scarce resources, and stimulate effective corporate management."
