Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Today, the fundamental institutions of a democratic country—an open press, a free economy, and broadly based political parties—are in place and flourishing."

"Your efforts have earned you not only a place in your nation's history but a chapter in the noble story of freedom throughout the world."

"Portugal's success in surmounting those challenges demonstrates the courage of your leaders and the love of your people for freedom."

"I urge the American people to stand by the families whose loved ones were taken from them."
