Ronald Reagan actually said...

"When national standards are required, consult with appropriate officials and organizations representing the States in developing those standards."

"The United States accepts the Iranian revolution as a fact and respects the right of the Iranian people to choose any government that they wish."

"In Thomas Jefferson's words, the States are 'the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies.'"

"These measures will remain in place so long as Iran persists in its aggressive disregard for the most fundamental norms of international conduct."
