Ronald Reagan: “Do you want to extend and complete economic recovery or see it stifled through tax increases?”

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

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

These unilateral reductions would, however, give a long-awaited encouragement for our efforts to achieve the genuine balance in conventional forces that would assure greater security and stability in Europe.

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.
