Ronald Reagan: “A great nation is moving forward again, and we're not going back to that unhappy past.”

We have walked a long way together to clear a path for peace.

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.
