Ronald Reagan actually said...

"A tragedy like this reminds us that the desire to be a good neighbor is basic to the American character and to our foreign policy."

"The answer to our trade problems isn't anti-trade legislation; it's more economic growth worldwide."

"If there's comparable seriousness and flexibility on the Soviet part, cooperation between our two great nations will be enhanced."

"America and other nations have worked for years now to bring this war to an end—so far, to no avail."
