Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Yes, it was a very improper thing to say, but it certainly was not said in the sense of any bitterness or bigotry or prejudice."

"I'm proud to be here honoring citizens whose passion for liberty is second to none."

"The United States is proud to be the home of this organization whose purpose is to bring peace to all the people of the planet."

"We all are very happy for this first step that has come about."
