Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I cannot permit the Congress to dismantle this long-standing policy, damage our vital strategic, political and economic interests in the Middle East and undermine our balanced policy in that region."

"We cannot afford to take stability for granted."

"We've built the foundations of a future full of hope, an American future of unparalleled achievement and prosperity."

"The American people and their representatives should understand that this sale is in our interests."
