Ronald Reagan: “I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Protocol and Convention and give its advice…”

Naturally, I heartily approve.

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

But there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.

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.
