Ronald Reagan: “I have accepted the resignation of Bud McFarlane as my Assistant for National Security Affairs.”

I expressed to President Gorbachev my confidence that the work we began together at Geneva in 1985 will continue under the Bush administration.

That is, again, one of those things I should have said to your question.

Let us always take with us the spirit of vision, skill, and excellence.

I am delighted that later today I'll have the opportunity to welcome President Gorbachev to the United States and extend to him the hospitality and good wishes of the American people.
