Ronald Reagan: “Our goal is not—and repeat not—a military solution.”

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.

It was a message of peace.

These unilateral reductions would, however, give a long-awaited encouragement for our efforts to achieve the genuine balance in conventional forces that would assure greater security and stability in Europe.
