Ronald Reagan actually said...

I have today signed H.R. 3622, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986.

None of us today need feel any urge, in the name of good will, to downplay our differences.

For that, Mr. President, I thank you, and your country thanks you.

After long and intense debate, we have set a responsible course of action by taking another important step forward.
