Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Senator Stennis has served in the Senate for one-fifth of the life of this nation."

"One man, committed to God and country, willing to work hard and sacrifice personal gain and comfort, can make a difference."

"Mississippi can take pride in the accomplishments of John Stennis, but he is a United States Senator, and so we celebrate his contribution to all of America."

"I hereby extend to the International Committee of the Red Cross the privileges, exemptions, and immunities provided by the International Organizations Immunities Act."
