Ronald Reagan: “Today I am pleased to announce the appointment of Marion C. Blakey.”

I don't say that we're not prepared.

I expressed to President Gorbachev my confidence that the work we began together at Geneva in 1985 will continue under the Bush administration.

We have not come this far through lack of strength or any weakness in our resolve, nor has there been anything inevitable about what we've achieved.

Let us remember that the Soviet preponderance in military power in Europe remains, an asymmetry that offends our Jeffersonian senses.
