Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Ray Hunt exemplified the best in America."

"The States and private industry should be fully responsible for financing research necessary to deal with their own particular problems and needs."

"Ray Hunt was a target because as head of the multinational force and observers in the Sinai, he was helping to implement the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel."

"We owe our gratitude as well to the thousands of Americans who serve in a civilian capacity."
