Ronald Reagan: “If we're going to get the drugs out of our schools, we need to get the politics out of drugs.”

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.

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

I can't be late for my luncheon.
