Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I am pleased to announce my intention to nominate C. William Verity, Jr., as Secretary of Commerce."

"I know that Bill, like his predecessor, Malcolm Baldrige, understands the importance of expanding international markets, maintaining our competitiveness, and enhancing our export capability."

"The agreement emphasizes reconciliation, democracy, and full respect for political and civil rights."

"I welcome this commitment to peace and democracy by the five Central American Presidents."
