Ronald Reagan: “Ours is an alliance of trust and friendship.”

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

I do hereby proclaim December 17, 1988, as Wright Brothers Day.

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

We have not come this far through lack of strength or any weakness in our resolve, nor has there been anything inevitable about what we've achieved.
